Part of Malaysia? State of Malaysia?

We are part of Malaysia or state of Malaysia?

I always think of this issue after reading the history of Malaysia. Not the history textbook from Malaysia government but other sources.

Have we been brainwashed or this is the reality that we are state of Malaysia? The concept of Malaysia according to the source I found, was that Federation of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore join together to establish a new nation called Malaysia. Almost the same as UK's concept where England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland come together and establish the United Kingdom.

Since Singapore was kicked out from Malaysia in 1965, the rules of game changed. The status of country was downgraded to state. The resources in our land were exploited especially the petroleum. Sabah, Sarawak and Kelantan as well as Terengganu (Peninsular Malaysia states) need to produce 95% of the petroleum royalty to the Federal government of Malaysia. Initially, we were not to give our natural resources to the federal government but why after 1965, why after the rules of game changed, then we only retain 5% of the petroleum revenue?

More and more negative comments from the social networking website stated that Sabahans/Sarawakians are stupid, staying on trees, places are awful etc. I totally disagree and angry with those statements. As we, Sabahans never say anything bad about other people and their places but why we are being bullied by them?!!! I mean, we are Malaysian right? Why our own people still want to criticize own people like that?

However, I just assume that this is just the minority people's mindset. A country's prosperity depends on people's mindset. If the mindset is healthy, the country can prosper and if the mindset is dirty, corrupted, the country will never prosper!

承载的重

开工了!
毕业后，人生新的一个章节开始了。
工作先是比其他人早得到，所以我很幸运能够拥有这份工作。
无论是多么的压力和困苦，我都要坚持地熬下去。

工作顺不顺利，很多时候真的听天由命。
在求学时，都是可以掌控的局面，
到了上班的时候，都不能像以前那样逍遥了。
也许这就是人生吧，我们都曾放任自己于一个安逸的环境长大。
踏出社会后就会知道，哪些是可以，哪些是不可以了.....

这都是人生里都要承载的重啊....
