KUCHING: Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing expressed hope that Peninsular Malaysians would mark Sarawak Independence Day in the same spirit that Sarawakians celebrate the independence of their peninsula kin.

“We, in Sarawak, celebrate Malaya’s happiness as a friend would celebrate a close friend’s birthday and happiness.  It’s my hope that when July 22 arrives, Malaya would reciprocate the same warmth and feelings for Sarawak. Friendship and understanding are a two-way traffic,” he said in a statement issued yesterday in conjunction with National Day.

Masing said that both Sarawak and Sabah share the pride of Peninsular Malaysia gaining her independence from the British in 1957 and being able to stand on her own two feet.

“I wish Malaya a Happy 63rd Hari Merdeka,” he added.

My comments:

😀  Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing is the only one from BN-GPS who has some sense of patriotism towards Sarawak.  Unlike Chief Minister Abang Johari who is so insensible that he takes the domination colonisation and imperialism of the Malayan government as a blessing to Sarawak.  He insists that Sarawak should be in the federation of Malaysia (Malaya in disguise) forever, not knowing that 90% of Sarawakians want Sarawak to be independent and free.  

I wonder how he can manage without the support of the mass.  Many times he has declared openly his intention to stay in the federation acting against the will of Sarawakians in general.  He is too complacent with his position as the chief minister of Sarawak which is open to the contest.  Will he still be able to hold the office of chief minister of Sarawak after PRN12?  I wonder!
