Re: Flying Sarawak Colonial Flag 22 July
Someone need to tell Karim that the old flag as a matter of fact reminds Sarawakians of Sarawak history and who we were before Malaysia was born.
It's a reminder that Sarawakians won't let go off the good old days, the secular multi-racial Sarawak rather than now being controlled by the Federal imperialism with the Ketuanan policy.
The flag also symbolize the aspiration of Sarawakians wanting self governance or independence. Perhaps it also serves to remind Sarawakians and Malaysians at large that Sarawak is a secular Christian majority State that upholds the very foundation of our Federation which is the Malaysian Agreement 1963. Most of all the flags serve as a reminder to Sarawakians that MA63 has not been fully honored and complied with for 61 years til this day 22/7/2024.
I don't think those who raised up the flags are ignorant of Sarawak history despite the fact that this part of Sarawak history is purposely not taught in our schools.
Karim need to realize the many meanings of the flags from the people of Sarawak's angle of view.
