I, myself, as a Malaysian, shall admit it that in looking into this thing, maybe to some levels, i will tend to defend my own country, Malaysia. but what i can say is, let us look into the problem with a just mind. not by manipulating things to make them appear bigger.

it is obvious as an indonesian, he tends to ignore Malaysia’s side of the story. or maybe he does not quite know what is actually happening in our country, caused by indonesian workers.

Indonesian workers in Malaysia, are very well- known as trouble-makers. about 1.2million indonesian workers coming to Malaysia each year using proper documents (pasport, visa etc). and it is estimated that another 800,000 indonesian immigrants (most probably more) are crossing the border each year to Malaysia. That is not a small number. They came by various routes: the sea, by crossing mountains, wade the jungles, paying money to some party who can bring them secretly, infiltrating Malaysia border. many of them were able to get arrested. but many others succeed to escape. Those whom arrested are meant to be sent home immediately, but almost always, those who were sent back, will return. This has caused a lot of difficulties on Malaysians. So Malaysia built a temporary detainees centre for these immigrants to stay temporarily before they were sent back. in the meanwhile, Malaysia will inform the government of Indonesia to take action, hopefully Indonesian government will assist to bring back their “people”, but in most instances that did not happen. In the end, Malaysian government had suffered big loss in maintaining the centre, and in bearing the cost of their food, medical expenses, providing proper pipe water and electricity etc. All these cost, Malaysia bear them alone.

indonesians immigrants, have caused a lot of problems for Malaysia. Too many of them become robbers, thieves, bugglars (broke into homes and steal peoples’ belongings, even many of them commit murders while stealing too). Many cases of rape of Malaysian women by indonesian workers also. Here in my hometown, there are more than a couple of times when we heard Indonesians killing the locals, doing dangerous crimes, keeping sharp weapons. They actually do so many disastrous things that affect Malaysians severely. Many Malaysians have suffered the loss of their belongings and their loved ones.

While Indonesian maids, although many of them are working just fine, but many of them also create troubles. they beat our children while we are not at home, they put harmful/ dirty ingredients into our food and drinks consciously, they caused our phone bills and electicity charges to rise abruptly, they bring other people to the house while we are out, they seems to work but our homes are not clean, many things are not settled even after hours. There are even cases where they tried to seduce our husbands. These are among things Indonesian maids often do in Malaysia, and they are many more. With all these bad qualities, most Malaysian employers have spent a lot of money for the arrangements of them coming to work with us, even paying very high and unreasonable prices put on us by their agents – not worth with the untrained, bad attitude maids they gave us.

and about the writer, writing that only by owning a greater military strength than Malaysia, shall Indonesia be respected by us, is totally wrong. That is not the issue. The actual issue is, Indonesia does not have to be too untouchables. They don’t have to be too sensitive over petty things that are actually can be handled if only they give a bit of sincere cooperation to us. About Ambalat, why don’t Indonesia restrain themselves from making big issue out of it, like what malaysia did. They claimed Ambalat belongs to them, but Malaysia also thinks that way. So why must they act so defensively against Malaysia over this matter? If only they respect Malaysia as their sister country who owns and inherits the same traditions and culture with them, small petty things won’t surface. Malaysia respects Indonesia and always wants to be in harmonious relation with Indonesia, but what we got from Indonesia is only turned back cold shoulders.

Singapore and Brunei might be rich, but they lack the market (population), while Indonesia despite with more than 200 million people, are seriously lacking in economic development. If all SEA countries could work closely to help each other, we would be a respectable force in the world… but sadly, all of these countries are very much on their own at the moment.

Pissed!

Tak payahlah mari malaysia sedangkan kita tak suka kamu (yang diperkatakan), kita ada pilihan punya..
