Why We Must Fighting?

The 5 years ago, Malaysia and Indonesia had the big crisis. Indonesia show their protest and do the ‘psychology war’. They throw the filth to the embassy of Malaysia in Indonesia and say ‘who’s Malaysian, we will kill them’. The flag of Malaysia also trampled and burned. Other that, Indonesia also use the ‘buluh runcing’, the symbol of Indonesian spirit. This bamboo is the same tools to kill many of colonialist especially Netherland soldier. For the Malaysia, the government use the diplomatic way to settle down the problem. The Malaysian at Indonesia is remind to become careful and don’t do the thing that can make the problem become bad. In my mind, the conflict is begin with small issue, but some side make the issue become hot and biggest. The fighting to get the island in border, maid issue, workers welfare, human trafficking, economics and culture struggle is the hot issue to discuss for both of country.

Malaysia share their border with many country such as Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, and the big share is Indonesia. So, the fighter to get the island will not miss. For the past time, the both of country fight to get the Sipadan and Ligatan Island. The conflict occur in a long time and use the many way to settle down. Starts from Dewan Tinggi Asean until International Court Justice, finally Malaysia win the scramble.

I’m attest that maid issue is the big problem for both of country. This is because victim use the media to tell about their torture. In addition, the media from Indonesia make the issue become biggest and indirectly make the rating become high. But, for the solution, government of Malaysia release the maid intake from Indonesia and look up to another country such as Philippines and Cambodia.

The misunderstanding for both of country is never stop. So, if both of country have some problem, they must settle down with diplomatic way and more rational. Malaysia must send more people to Indonesia and don’t afraid about the threat. Other that, Indonesia must aside the conflict and stop to look bad of Malaysia. Indonesia and Malaysia for a long time ago is the big state. The state of Malay people. But, the ‘wisdom’ of colonist totally succeed to divide the Malay union. History can’t delete. For the past, Indonesia and Malaysia is call ‘Tanah Melayu’. But, the deal of colonist changed the union. Netherland take part of Indonesia then British dominate the Malaysia and Singapore.

So, I hope the both of country become close and help each other. We will strong if we move on with one unite. Other that, we need more educated people to make relationship for both of country to become closer. I trust that we love the peaceful and hate the war.
