(Repost) What is CHANGE?

What is Change? From worse to better? Or Change because its a trend to Change? 

It's saddening at times, seeing people talk about the problems of Bangladeshis in Peninsular Malaysia. Yes you have the right to complain. But if are talking about a real change, take a look and Sabah. 40% of the population there are not genuine Sabahans. This figure was announced by NRD, not Pakatan Rakyat. It's stafistic given by a government agency. We talk about seeing Bangladeshis getting ICs, and talk about the need to rectify this. I humbly think, you should try looking at Sabah before taking a further step. Cybertroopers and Malaysians who fight for a better country should put more effort in East Malaysia.

In my humble opinion, Anwar's biggest mistake this GE13, is failing to address the woes of East Malaysians. If you compare the seats won in 2008 and 2013, there's not much of a swing in Peninsular. What does this show? This shows that West Malaysians have more or less made up their minds. So if you want a real Change, try investing time and put effort in East Malaysia. Trying to win votes in West Malaysia is like fishing in a sea with very little fishes left. A bigger impact can be done, if you focus on Sabah and Sarawak.

I am a Sabahan, born and bred there, studying in West Malaysia now. But you know what's the most patethic part?

I'm so proud of the level of racial tolerance achieved by Sabahans, so proud of how friendly Sabahans are, so proud of what Sabah and its people have to offer. We have mountains, seas, greens. We have a mixture of at least 7 major races- Chinese, Malays, Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, Indian, Bajau and of course many more indigenous races. We all live peacefully without racism. Anyone who has ever been to Sabah can vouch all these for me. Economically, we are also one of the biggest petroleum producers in Malaysia, if not in South East Asia. BUT, what happened to Sabah? We don't have proper roads. Goodness, it's 2013 now. The richer you are in Sabah, the bigger 4-wheel drive you'd need because of the road conditions; Don't talk about blackouts, many don't even have access to electricity. What bullcrap is this? Living without electricity in the 21st century! Water? Forget about free water. Folks in the rural cant even have access to clean water, thus they rely very much on rainwater and water from rivers.

You cannot blame the people in the rural areas for voting BN back into power. They know nothing else apart from the blue colored weighing scale. We scoff at the BR1M, BB1M, BL1M or whatever other brim brom brum. We city folks are exposed and we are well informed. RM250 or RM500 may be little to some of us. It's a different situation out there. Imagine your whole life being in the jungle, no water, no electricity, no car, no KFC, no McDonald's, no Adidas, no Nike, no Puma, no LV, no Burberry, no G-Shock. You have nothing, and the only way to feed your family is by finding food from the wild. If you lived through this, you would agree RM500 is a hell lot of money. It can be enough to feed a family of 5 for a whole month. These folks are therefore so grateful. Our job, is not to blame them, but help them, show them the light, and educate them.

So folks, if you really want to UBAH something in Malaysia, come to Sabah and contribute. Please help me spread this. I am a Malaysian, as much as I am a Sabahan.
