Every time I stared at a Sarawak Flag, I will either think that this guy is a patriot or this guy is a tyrant. For one thing that I’ve noticed, most of the time, people did not realised that they are using the wrong flag!

The WRONG Sarawak Flag

Please, for the love of your country! use the right flag! If you do not have a copy of the image, you can get it from here.

The CORRECT Sarawak Flag

The CORRECT Sarawak Flag

Please do notice the red and yellow colour code. They are the colour of Iban’s arts and not the solid red and solid yellow.

Info from Government Official Web Site

The current State flag was adopted in 1988 to mark the 25th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia, and Sarawak’s role as an equal partner in the Federation along with Sabah and Malaya.

Red symbolises the courage, determination and sacrifices of the people in their tireless pursuit to attain as well as maintain progress and esteem in the course of creating a model State.

Yellow signifies the supremacy of law and order, as well as unity and stability in diversity.

Black represents the rich natural resources and wealth of Sarawak such as petroleum and timber, which provide the foundation for the advancement of the people.

The yellow, nine-pointed star represents the nine administrative Divisions at that time (the State currently has 11 Divisions). The star also embodies the aspirations of Sarawakians to improve their quality of life.

 

The next time you use a Sarawak Flag, please refer them to the State Government Web Site at http://www.sarawak.gov.my for the correct flag.

Someone told me that the cook has added new ingredient into the bowl of soup. This ingredients shares the same origin as the empurau and is known to be a kind of its own. However. this guy is unsure how spicy the bowl of soup will be after the ingredient is been added.

With such induction, the junior league might changed in sense to pave ways to this new induction and we shall see some changes in the liquor intake very soon. Some people may think that this bowl of soup is now inedible.

The junior leagues change in progressssssssss…..

ok, this is just in. There are now 5 confirmed contenders for the junior league… So, good luck to all of them. Although I am wondering if this bowl of Chinese broth indeed a edible by the end of this race. It is however, Chinese junior league. Let’s hoped that the hot potatoes is not going to melt the whole broth.

On the senior league, I think it will be a 3-corner penalty kick! We shall see tomorrow… who is the fairest of them all…..

The Digi Challenge for Change came as a last moment thing when I got a call from wackybecky who wanted to give my contact to cerventus. This brings in a phone call from Emily!

Knowing that there were that many start up weekend coming to Malaysia, this is a rare opportunity. I pushed myself into the part of the campus which I seldom go to. As I was coming up to the fateful day, I managed to clear my schedule for the event.

Going through each of the teams, I know, handing out my name cards pisses off one of the other mentors during Friday night. I believed this team was the first one which I gave my name card to. It came close to one of my students’ paper back in 2007.

The weekender, some came for credit hour, some came for other programs, some thinking that this is a lecture and thinking back to my post-grad day, free food! Campus economy at play. One of the winner was there for it and going back with media coverage, RM 1k startup money, a new project and of course, free food!

Junior league in boiling soup

It is expected that the premier league is getting on the temperature. Whose butt is going to get kicked is all up to the “members” and with all the revolts and fishes and prawns been in the net, all that is to wait is for the magic moment when the goal was not guarded properly to kick a goal.

We can expect a penalty kick coming very soon and I think not being a footie does have the advantage to skid and slides the balls off the player’s feet.

With that much adrenalin pumping one must not forget that other than the premier league, there is also the junior league which would require some more pumping, kicking and squeezing before things starts to fall into place. We shall see that some of the players marked for the premier still trying their luck in the junior league though their age does not even qualify them to be anything but senior’s junior.

Will they have the time to go back to their own turf?
