Undeterred by the strong opposition from Malay and Muslim groups in the peninsula, newly-formed civil society movement Negara-Ku is spreading its wings to East Malaysia.
They will take their message of unity and hope to Sabah and Sarawak where they also hope to tell East Malaysians what the Malaysia Agreement was intended to do for them.Negara-Ku, a coalition of NGOs launched two weeks ago, had roped in former vice-chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), Tan Sri Simon Sipaun (pic), as one of its patrons to achieve its objective of peace and unity.
"One of our deepest wishes is for our brothers and sisters who reside on the other side of the South China Sea to realise all that was intended for Sabah and Sarawak under the Malaysia Agreement.
"Together we can work towards bringing about justice they so dearly need and which we so dearly want for them.
"Our efforts in taking the message of unity and hope to Sabah and Sarawak will begin after the Hari Raya holidays," Simon said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today. – July 24, 2014.
