Ngesep is such a good Sarawakian word. So evocative. A wee bit sassy. Nice round, solid consonants. Love it.

If ur not Sarawakian and not half-Indigenous, then u might not realise how monumental this is. Now I can be seen as native in the eyes of the law. Now I won’t have to justify my native-ness to a council of strangers. Now my gentrified tongue won’t cost me my father’s inheritance.

Saddened that this graphic is relevant again, but: What is Rape Culture? Why are rape jokes harmful? Tingkah laku anda, meskipun kecil atau tidak berniat jahat, ada akibat. Kita perlu mencegah amalan ini dari akar umbi, barulah kita melihat perubahan.

Lol idk man I’m not a doctor but I feel like massively overworking our healthcare workers is a bigger factor for “kesihatan makin teruk, negara makin merundum” than an influencer cooking oily meals now and then.

I love how much Sarawakians broadcast our Sarawakian-ness, everywhere we go; with our accent or our tattoos or how we wear kabo necklaces with any outfit, nestled in the centre of our chests, right next to our hearts. I love how much we love each other. Happy Sarawak Day! 💛🖤❤️

I hate shit like this. “It’s not that deep, ala kita buat lawak je” I thought jokes are supposed to be funny?

I like how instead of saying we dislike a certain dish, we say “mek sik pandei makan ya” implying that the fault lies not with the dish or the cook, but with the eater. We lacked the knowledge required to unlock the full potential of the dish, no hard feelings, dish.

Just a PSA: if you’re referring to Sarawakian indigenous tribes in general or you don’t know the specific tribe name, say Dayak. But! If you’re referring to a specific tribe, please use that specific tribe’s name. Here’s why:

Lol when I was in primary school, teachers & students pressured me & the handful of non-Muslim kids in class to read the Quran & to recite prayers. My mum told me to bring my Bible & "when they read from their Holy Book, u read from urs" They stopped pestering me after that :)

Walking by a group of 2 or more men gives me the same feeling as driving next to a cargo lorry. Maybe nothing will happen, but I still brace myself for danger and let out a sigh of relief once I'm a safe distance away.

2. “That would suffice, without the need for a directive for canteens to remain open, which seems a bit excessive.” He adds that the ministry should focus on educating Muslim students about the importance of fasting and their non-Muslim friends to respect the practice.

Spent a weekend in my dad’s lodge/homestay on the Bakun dam & I’m still thinking about it. Jom, ruminate with me. My longhouse was in Bakun before the govt relocated us to Sg Asap 22 yrs ago. The dam is 205m tall & has a surface area of 695km² (for contrast: Singapore is 728km²)

The Venn diagram of ppl who say "susah sangat kah tunjuk IC?" when non-Muslims are questioned for eating during puasa month, and the ppl who complain about having to pass through immigration to enter Sarawak is a CIRCLE.

Going home is so expensive—so many of my E Malaysian friends working in Semenanjung save up for MONTHS just to afford it, some haven’t gone back in years—and the massive price gauging is so unethical and unfair, especially when we have literally no other alternative.

Forced conversions are an open secret among the Dayak. I grew up hearing so many horror stories about this, it’s one of the reasons my people value education so much: an informed person is much harder to coerce and manipulate.

When u guys accuse Sarawakians of being exclusionary or individualistic I’m like. Ya. We are. We have to be. Why should we erase the parts of ourselves that make us unique? To make YOU more comfortable? Now why tf would we do that. We’ve assimilated enough. It’s ur turn now.
