Sabah, Sarawak, Semenanjung (or Malaya). Three components of the Federation of Malaysia – sama-sama – that’s what was agreed in the agreement. Didn’t quite turn out that way, did it? What happened? And more importantly, where can we go from here?

Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia seeks to lay bare the facts in its coming Roadshows in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching next month. If you’re Malaysians in these cities, we’d be happy if you could take time out and give us a listen.

Sama-sama also speaks of camaraderie, togetherness, solidarity. We need this. As big a dose as we can muster. We’re in darkness, fear, and apathy. We lose perspective, we think we’re alone but we can emerge. There’s the promise of light if we work together, stay together, live together and want the best for each other. Together we can turn the light back on.

Let’s. Bersama-sama.

Invited speaker Dr Myron Shekelle, conservation biologist and directorof Tarsier.org, will discuss the Copenhagen Summit and what he thinks the intended effects are for cooperation between the United States and Southeast Asian nations, notably Malaysia. In line with this, he will discuss how his experiences in the region have illuminated some potential solutions, and many of the very real pitfalls, for foreign-sponsored, collaborative biodiversity research and conservation in Southeast Asia.”
