Probably you would not believe it, when I say it is the home of scavangers too. They live there and earn their living collecting and selling used tin cans, alluminium, iron, bottles and just about anything that can be sold. Visiting the site, sending your heart down the sadness alley.
At times, I was puzzled thinking what makes them scavangers. Is it that they wanted it that way? Is this their destiny? Or maybe it is easy for them to earn their living by being scavangers. Are they the victims of global modernisation? Or is it they rather become scavangers than working and contributing to the growth and development of their state? Is there not enough jobs for them in their beloved Sarawak? Then, why are there thousands of foreign workers from Indonesia and Bangladesh flocking into our state and enjoying good working conditions and all the benefits as compared to these scavangers?
Who enjoys the benefits of our oil and gas industries such as MLNG, ABF and our fluorishing oil palm plantations. As far as I know, all the good positions in these industries are being dominated by outsiders, the West Malaysians. These outsiders conquered our land. What has the state government done? Nothing. The state government under the leadership of Taib Mahmud has turned deaf ears and blind eyes regarding the plight of the Sarawakians. What is the meaning of Politics of Development?
Our state government did not give priority to Sarawakians in terms of job distributions. The rights and benefits of Sarawakian, being the indeginous people is not protected by the policy of Politics of Development. Our rich state is being colonised and conquered by the west malaysians the same way as the British used to colonise malaya during the pre-merdeka era. Nobody dare to speak up and fight these unfairness.
Sarawakians, wake up and may God give us one Tunku Abdul Rahman who can lead our way towards independence and away from being further colonised in the modern world.
