Dangkal

Kalau kawan-kawan Cina ko cakap cina depan ko, racist ka tu? Ko pikir derang mengumpat? Nda ku paduli, terasa pun tidak. Abis sa pun cakap bahasa dusun sesama kawan2 Dusun, Bajau cakap bajau, Bugis cakap bugis, Jawa cakap jawa, Kimaragang cakap kimaragang, Rungus cakap rungus..Kadazan nda disebut abis daerah sa membesar nda ketara org kadazan, ada pun tapi bukan high school students yang sama-sama belajar sama sa.

One thing you must never forget from the past, tanahair ini bukan kepunyaan mutlak satu bangsa. Think out in a bigger picture, like-bayaran cukai paling tinggi dari bangsa apa? Hummm, sa pun nda tau, Jabatan Perangkaan nda pernah bagi blueprint copy. Lagi....katakan ada tsunami lagi melanda negeri kamu dan mengakibatkan gempa bumi buat julung-julung kalinya (palis2-infinity) and meranapkan semua sistem then pihak pertama yang menghantar rescue + ...team is Australia (initially mo sebut the USA tapi logiknya even with their best military gadget....kalu USA vs Down Under berlumba pun ke sini tetap the Aussies bah manang, abis dakat kan) would you rigorously deny their hands? Think twice. Oh, you stupid! In any case like those, the second you been offered a hand, you would not dare to think even once, hence twice or thrice, you just grab the hand walaupun tangan tu ada taik bah.

So to reconcile racist tak racist, learn to accept and insist on willing to exchange input, kalu pikir si Lim eh si Sarawana eh si Mamat Bajau eh si Datu Suluk mengumpat, ko pandai-pandailah bah belajar bahasa derang...walaupun tidak la sampai fasih cukuplah dapat keyword 'power'; that mulau is not gorgeous nor 'pulaukan dia' - pinggo is not about 'pinggulnya seksi, waduuuhhhh...!' - sot nga is not 'sot la budak tu'..

Itulah caranya membina jambatan integrasi nasional, kita buang semangat ketuanan, kita bangun dan pergi bersalam dengan Lee Chong Wei dan bertanya 'ni jiao shenme mingzi..ni hen ke ai de...' (ok, dry joke, 1Malaysia kenal dia, memang soalan bonus masih bertanyakan nama). Be proactive and lotsa tebal muka asking...because that's the way we live in peace, harmony and ....here in Sabah! We do not simply make harsh judgement on other's norm.

"Welcome to Sabah, the land of the genuine, authentic smiles of Asia...the land you call eco paradise although we are abandon by our rich fathers, so poor were we..we could only offer you the Orang Utans' grin yet you still pay us our bills, you enjoice the Sacred Kinabalu so much it anger Aki Nabalu the Gate of The-Dusun-Heaven's guard so we need to offer him blood of seven white fowls annually to calm him down-now we the locals even in human form could not afford to climb let alone our dead souls, Sipadan...Period."
