Sarawakian

Sarawakians are like the African-American community of America.

We are a strong voter base, it'll be a miracle if one of us ever made it into the top post of the country and we (or at least, I) have pride at being part of this state.

Be you FooChow, Lumbawang, Bidayuh, Cina, Apek, Lau Bu, Lau Pan Niang, etc. it's a great people oriented community.

Like the Ozzies and Kiwis, I somehow feel as if people from different parts of the state have friendly competition between each other but if you mess with one of us, you will mess with all of us.

Recently we were featured in the Star, in fact we just got the Star in an East Sarawak edition. We have nature parks, beaches, culture, a jazz fest (which I have yet to attend) and most of our guys make good boyfriends.

I don't know how many Sarawakians you know, but the ones I do are good, honest and down-to-earth people. We can drink and laugh loudly, secrets and dramas are few and far between.

I'm proud to be Sarawakian. Disagree with me, tell me that your state has those things as well and that you know Sarawakians who aren't worthy of praise, well thats your experience and I respect that.

But you ain't going to change my mind!
