On Malaysia Day, women's groups teamed up with the Centre for Orang Asli Concerns and a couple other civil society groups to agitate for the rights of indigenous peoples, specifically the Penan of Sarawak, and to protest the lack of accountability in the government's handling of cases to do with the rape and sexual harassment of Penan women and girls and logging on Penan land.

  • Malaysian-style "Pembangunan" which is really just a get-rich-quick scheme by politicians for politicians and their corrupt brethren in the corporate world is "Penindasan" of the Penan, of other indigenous groups, of the environment, and of the rakyat as a whole. No one's opposing development per se, ok? But our development practices can stand to be more sustainable and LEGAL. For as long as we continue such greedy and violent maldevelopment, we'll stay in the stone age.

    Peace,

  • UBAH!!!! SISTERS REFORMASI!!!!!! 

  • @lawjayaraj

    If my sister were to be raped instead, then I would feel anything...since she doesn't exist. The problem here is that these people aren't embracing civilization, are we then surprised if civilization treats them like thus?

    Humans are supposed to be civilized, if they are not, then they're not humans....this is plain logic...

  • @wanrazul that justifies rape of an underage girls... is it...??? Is that what you religion teaches you...!!! If they were you sister how would you feel you bloddy IDIOT.

  • "pembangunan=penindasan?" then they can't really blame anyone else but themselves for staying back in the stone age...

    when will these left-wing hippies ever understant that they're just being used...? never?
