Stop Plundering
Stop plundering our sea day and night.
Stop renewing licences to the foreign
trawlers and ships.
Stop abusing your power, you bloody
ministry of fisheries.
How many pleads do we have to make to
reach you?
How
many protests do we have to repeat to alert you?
How loudly do we have to cry, scream,
shout, shriek, shrill, squeak and squeal
to hit you to your senses?
Did you know that our sea is near to exhaustion
because of the foreign trawlers and ships plundering day and night?
If you don’t believe, do the survey in
all the fish markets in Sarawak
to find out the truths and facts.
If you are still not sure that our sea
is very and very exhausted,
just dive into the sea to investigate yourselves.
You, bloody ministry of fisheries.
Can’t you see how frustrated our Sarawak
local fishermen are
when they often fail their daily catch?
Can’t you hear how exasperatedly they
express their disappointments
when the ministry of fisheries take their appeals lightly?
Can’t you feel the desperation the
Sarawak fishermen are in
when their livelihood is deprived of and assaulted?
Can’t you sense the urgency of the
condition needing immediate remedy?
Stop plundering and abusing once and for
all!!!!
Don’t let your greed and lust blind you
to see the frustration of our Sarawak fishermen.
Don’t let the clinks and clanks of the
money to deafen you
from hearing their screams, cries, shrieks, shrills, squeaks and
squeals
to express their disappointments.
Don’t let your indulgence in the
luxuries of life
to numb all your senses to feel their desperation
don’t let your fancies and ignorance to
rule you
to believe that the sea is inexahaustible
and tipping off the delicate balance of the ecological system is
impossible.
From my 8 years plus of marketing
experience in Sibu,
I bear witness, of the variety and the number of fresh fish
are getting less and less.
This year, even in the months of June
and July,
the supply of fresh fish is scarce and poor, scarce and poor!
The fresh and variety fish supply from March to October
was bountiful in the past especially in June and July
But this year, the supply of fresh fish,
not to say variety, is very scarce and poor.
Alamak!
What a curse! What a shame!
Plundering and abusing have so deprived
of our sea with rich resources.
Didn’t you know our sea can’t stand
anymore plundering and abusing.
Our sea is very and very exhausted now
due to long years of plundering and abusing day and night.
Don’t you know the law of
sustainability?
Corruption and collusion, no doubt, break all the rules and
regulations.
Tell us how many licences have been
issued
to the foreign trawlers and ships through bribery!
Tell us clearly and exactly how many
foreign trawlers and ships
are plundering and abusing our sea?
Return the sea to our Sarawak fishermen
and people!
Return this bounty to the locals in
Sarawak!
We deserve plenty and variety of fish,
cheap and fresh! Fresh and
cheap!
You, bloody ministry of fisheriers, let
our sea alone!
Stop plundering our sea day and night!
Stop renewing licences to the foreign
trawlers and ships!
Stop abusing your power!
Do you want to know what would happen
When you ignore the frustrations people
endure?
Do you want to know what would happen
when their disappointments are not attended to?
Do you want to know what would happen
when the people are in desperation?
Do you want to know what would happen
when their plights are not solved readily?
The frustrations, disappointments,
desperations and plights
Would conglomerate into resentment and
hatred
Well, how destructive these pented up
resentment and hatred would be,
I think, only the time could tell
when death, not longer, pose any threat to life
when people take laws into their hands
it would be too late for you to plead
for any settlement.
Bloody ministry of fisheries, indeed,
has to face bloodshed some day.
When people brush aside death
to seek for justice and justification,
you would see but endless people
in the file awaiting to fight to death
for justice and justification!!!!!!!!!!!
