East and West

Salam.

Like some people would say, A is not B although it is just next to each other in the alphabetical order.

Likewise, Kelantan is not Terengganu, Perlis is not Kedah and Kuala Lumpur is not Selangor. Same goes to Sarawak IS NOT SABAH. And SABAH IS NOT SARAWAK.


Those are 2 very different states with distinct geographical boundaries. One coming from Kuching, Sibu or Miri should not be equated to "orang Sabah", while people coming from Kota Kinabalu, Beufort, Tawau or Menggatal should not be called "orang Sarawak".

Those ignorant sweeping equations are irritating to some though it may look trivial. Are we going to call Bruneians "orang Sarawak" or "orang Sabah"?

Some folks just never learn and choose to be ignorant. Geographically pathetic.

God bless Malaysia.
