This article was banned because it touches on an extremely sensitive aspect of Malaysian politics. It is a fact that there is political unrest in Sarawak, and that the vast majority of the people there are still having "second thoughts " about "Malaysia".

Deep down this unrest is the aspirations of the people for a politically independant Sarawak. This wish was temporarily postponed when Sarawak was forced to join "Malaysia" in 1963. Prior to this event, there had been widespread opposition and demonstrations against the British idea to make Sarawak part of "Malaysia". However, the desire of the people was simply ignored. They then arose [unclear: in armed] rebellion. The British brutally crushed the rebellion with the help of Australian and New Zealand troops and Gurkha mercenaries.

Sarawak became a colony of Malaya. The Malayan politicians then introduced their racist policies into the country, which has since destroyed the traditional racial harmony there. At the same time, the former colonialists still retain control of the country through thier control of the economies of Malaya and Sarawak.
