There are some facts about the bad things that Malaysians have done us, the people of Indonesia. Even though Indonesia and Malaysia are neighboring countries, and also believed were originated from the same root, but Malaysia has been the most annoying neighbor all this time. I have compiled all of the sins into 5 biggest sins of Malaysians.
The first sin is trespassing Indonesian territories. Malaysia has been many times violating Indonesian territory, especially Indonesian waters. Malaysia has trespassed the waters near Riau Islands Province, the Malacca Strait, the South China Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, the waters north of Bintan and Batam Islands, and the Ambalat sea bloc. They trespassed Indonesian maritime territory with full armed warship. And what did we do? Indonesian Foreign Ministry only sent them diplomatic notes. The diplomatic notes are actually useless! Trespassing Indonesian territory means violating Indonesian sovereignty and dignity. As the people of Indonesia, we must do brave actions to face Malaysians.
The second sin is claiming Indonesian lands. There are several islands of Indonesia claimed by Malaysia. The most famous cases of land disputes between Indonesia and Malaysia are the Sipadan and Ligitan dispute and Ambalat block dispute. Both Indonesia and Malaysia previously claimed sovereignty over the Sipadan and Ligitan islands. The dispute was brought before the International Court of Justice and on 17 December 2002, decided that sovereignty of Sipadan and Ligitan belonged to Malaysia. Meanwhile, the Ambalat block dispute is still on-going negotiation. If we don’t want to lose another island, so we must do something. Indonesian navy ships must be alert around the Ambalat block. We don’t have to be afraid to fight Malaysia, even there will be a war against Malaysia, we have to defend our own territory.
The third sin is claiming Indonesian arts and cultures. I believe that the “Malaysia Truly Asia” slogan is used because actually Malaysians don’t have their original culture. They grabbed Malayan, Chinese, Indian, and Arabian cultures that make them lost their indigenous identity. That’s why they stole Indonesian cultures, such as Batik, Pendet Dance, Reog Dance, Angklung, Rasa Sayange song, and many others. Indonesia has done the right action by listing Indonesian cultures and arts as the world heritage originated from Indonesia to UNESCO. As the result, wayang, batik, and angklung have officially recognized as the Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
The fourth sin is deforesting Indonesian forests. Malaysia was the number one oil palm plantation country in the world. But now the title belongs to Indonesia. But don’t be proud of that title because to open new oil palm plantation, forest should be burnt. And who do you think owned the oil palm plantations in Indonesia? It’s Malaysians! They cut down our trees, burn our forests, and kill our orangutans. They are truly criminals!
And last but not the least, the fifth sin is abusing Indonesian workers. Malaysia has long history in abusing Indonesian workers. They treat Indonesian workers like animals, even worse. Indonesian workers are slapped, kicked, beaten, even ironed and hot watered. Malaysians have crossed the limit. Indonesian government must stop sending Indonesian workers to Malaysia. I believe there are still many job opportunities in Indonesia or in other country beside Malaysia. Sending them to Malaysia is same like sending them to hell. Don’t let our sisters return home as dead bodies!
Those 5 biggest sins of Malaysians are unacceptable. Those sins can’t be forgiven. The only way to overcome the problem is by taking actions. Don’t just sit still and watch. We must stand up and do something. It’s for the sake of our own rights. We are not weak. We are a strong nation. I believe that we are way much better than Malaysians. Come on speak up and fight!
