Shocking speech by Ex-PM! Are you sure Multi-Racial for #Malaysia is unconstitutional? Many include foreign countries and investors wish to know what got to say from Malaysia Parliament. All they know is Malaysia has more than one ethnics before and after independence in 1963 living in harmony. #Sarawak #Sabah

Das #RegenwaldTribunal ist ein politisches Theater mit Präsidium, Untersuchungsleitung, Zeugeneinvernahmen und einer hochkar. Jury.

Nach vier Jahrzehnten #Regenwald-#Abholzung ziehen die #Indigenen aus #Sarawak (#Malaysia) Bilanz und fragen: Unser Wald ist weg - wo ist das Geld?

Wer ist für diese #Umweltkatastrophe verantwortlich? Was sind ihre Folgen für Mensch, Natur und Klima? Wer hat davon profitiert? Und was muss getan werden, um dieses Unrecht wiedergutzumachen?

Kasawari is off the coast of #Sarawak
“The richness of the Kasawari field, which Petronas CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz has said is big enough to ensure his company remains one of the world’s top five exporters of liquefied natural gas, demonstrates how high the stakes in the South China Sea have become.”

🇲🇾 Buenos días y a por la semana con fuerza.

La empiezo con malas noticias, ya que en la provincia de #Sarawak, en #Malasia, cuatro lenguas tribales se han extinguido. Se tratan del Seru, el Pegu, el Bliun y el Lelak.

Las autoridades trabajan ahora para recuperar palabras y expresiones en estas lenguas para su archivo.

Según la UNESCO, se estima que casi la mitad de las lenguas y dialectos de los cerca de 6.000 que existen, están en riesgo de desaparición.

#Rajah - pretty much drops you in media res into the story, which is one of a dude who suddenly found himself also in the middle of a story (of a power struggle) 😃. You don't need to know that much about the history of #Sarawak to get the movie, as I've just been yanksplained on how American moviegoers' ignorance means additional context is unneeded so any slapdash comparison will do*. So in that spirit I offer the barely accurate analogy of it being like The Last Samurai. (Which can't be any worse than comparing RRR to EEAAO**) Except it does flip a couple of tropes of the genre, but that's probably domestic politics that allowed such portrayals of Malay royals as just fuckin' assholes 😌.

#Rajah - pretty much drops you in media res into the story, which is one of a dude who suddenly found himself also in the middle of a story (of a power struggle) 😃. I want to say you don't need to know that much about the history of #Sarawak to get the movie, as I've just been yanksplained on how American moviegoers can be just very ignorant and additional context is unwanted*. So in that spirit I offer the barely accurate analogy of it being like The Last Samurai.
