INDEPENDENT SARAWAK SHOULD BE EQUALLY FOR ALL SARAWAKIANS
“In an independent Sarawak, it’s reckoned that the Chinese would be able to reinvent themselves and become relevant again in the economic field, which, unlike now, would be thrown wide open and free from government and political interference.”
The “Chinese” is a cover all description. It is not helpful to use this divisive line of argument.T
he Chinese of Sarawak are not the sole owners of their country but share IT with all other Sarawakians.
The Chinese should he proud of their role in the struggle for Sarawak indpendence.
Patriotic Sarawak Chinese have waged an independence struggle against the incorporation of Sarawak into Malaysia for over 25 years. They were fighting for all Sarawakians not just the Chinese. Their declared objective was for Sarawak independence in line with the 1962 declaration of independence by the anti-Malaysia Brunei Uprising. It was independence for everyone in the North Borneo colonies.
So when Sarawak becomes independent again (from 1842-1942 it was an independent State), all of us regardless of our race must unite, re-invent ourselves to build a New Democratic Sarawak!
