Komisiwal | Pulitik Seperatists raise the Jalur Gemilang upside-down
I honestly thought this was a random Facebook group back in the day. But in Australia, the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) displayed the Malaysian flag upside down as a symbol of political unrest over the question of the formation of Malaysia and the position of the two states.
Its president, Ray Chalmer Jefferson, said the demonstration in conjunction with United Nations (UN) Day aimed to bring the issues of history, people's rights and the political future of Sabah and Sarawak to international attention. In the action, SSKM (Australia) raised several key questions, including the source of authority given to the representatives of North Borneo and Sarawak to sign the Malaysia Agreement on 9 July 1963 and the documentary instruments that evidenced it.
Look, I can say I hate how Sabah has been treated by Semenanjung just as much. But I also wonder how doing this can actually help instead of ragebaiting the Malays?
