Straight from the orangutans mouth

COMMENT

By Peter John Jaban
One week after a new disturbance with a military in Miri, we am happy to be home, here in Sarawak. I've been lazy after going to a belligerent as well as planning for a future.
I've motionless which my destiny is here. we was born here as well as we intend to remain here. There is so most work to be done, especially with consequential elections usually round a corner.

This is a chance is to move about genuine shift in Sarawak politics. My onslaught for Sarawak will go upon where it's indispensable most.

The events of a final week have revealed most things. The initial is usually a reminder of how most we adore this country, how most we adore Sarawak.

As a Malay observant goes: 'Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri.' we am a Sarawakian. we need to be here among my people to work effectively. we proposed Radio Free Sarawak as well as changed to London mainly since freedom of expression here in my own nation is not in something which we am perplexing to change. But, we usually couldn't stay away.

Now, we feel which we can best go upon my onslaught for a destiny of Sarawak here. No have a difference what London offers, it has nothing to compare to my own ties which connect me to Sarawak, myibu pertiwiku, as it is called in a Sarawak state anthem.

So, maybe you'll see me pushing around town in my Cadillac with my beautiful daughter during my side. I'll even wav! e again during YB Abdul Karim Hamzah, Assistant Youth Development Minister, as he stares during me from his tiny classic car.

What else have we learnt from a final week? we have learnt which we am safer here than in any alternative country. In annoy of all a stories from a government-controlled media perplexing to paint me black, we have learnt that, when we need help, a people of Sarawak have been right there during a back of me.

There have been so most great heroes here in this state, carrying upon their great work as well as supporting my own; we feel unapproachable to work with them as well as will go upon to do so wherever they need me.

As for a police, those which we met in Kota Kinabalu were polite as well as courteous. we appreciate them. Last week's drama was not my intention.

Sadly, in a past, sure members of a military force here have dirty a name of their colleagues by acting as well quick as well as as well strongly towards people in their custody. Unfortunately, we live in times where even answering to someone's fist in control is viewed as normal as well as part of day to day business.

Straight from a orangutan's mouth
Even now, reports of deaths in control go upon to come out in a independent media. we am ready to encounter a police, should they wish, though upon an even basis, with my member benefaction not when we am underneath their power to do with as they choose: to be placed underneath duress or to be mistreated or physically as well as verbally abused in any way.

That is since we left, to allow myself a opportunity to encounter them upon my own terms. After all, we am a adult of Sarawak. we have committed no crime. we have not robbed or killed or deceived anyone. we wish to return, to be giveaway to live my life in a nation which we love, as well as to go upon my onslaught for a better destiny for all of us here.

Finally, what of a events of final week? The ti! me has c ome for a open to attend to a story from a orangutan's mouth.

As someone has said, we owe a open an reason as well as this is it. After my stay in Kuching in May, we went to Sabah for a week. we took a flight, initial from Kuching to Miri (no complaint during all) as well as afterwards from Miri to KK (again, no problem). It was usually upon my lapse moody to Miri which a complaint surfaced.

As we queued for immigration, we was told which there was an emanate as well as was called into a office.

we waited. My moody time was drawing near, so we questioned immigration, who informed me, very politely, which this was a military have a difference which had been reported in July 2011 as well as they were watchful for Special Branch to arrive.

Special Branch did arrive. They photocopied my documents as well as they took cinema of me from each angle, again very politely. Then, they informed me which we was being 'referred' to a Sarawak military as well as escorted me to a aircraft.

we understood this to mean which we would be met by military during Miri airport. As we wanted to have sure which we wasn't taken away by a military without correct representation, we contacted my people to have sure which we was met during Miri by a couple of accessible faces.

On my arrival, we was surprised to find a airfield full of people watchful for me. There were police, as we had expected, a little were in uniform as well as a little we took to be plainclothes officers we know a demeanour from my activist days.

There were reporters, all taking photos right in my face, as well as of course, my own representatives.

we was confused as well as feeling unwell. The counsel Alan Ling, right away a representative for Piasau, as well as Dr Michael Teo, taking value of a actuality which a military were still watchful for instructions, took me to a automobile as well as we gathering off, streamer to Dr Teo's clinic.

Plotting a escape
On a approach into Miri, there was an accident forward as well as a queue of trade during a back of it. We were stuck. Dr Teo was bustling upon a phone, his motorist bustling with a road. It was raining heavily.

As we sat, a automobile pulled up beside us upon a quick lane. Two group got out we recognized a single of them from my moody as well as told me which a military were chasing a car. So, upon a coax of a moment, we motionless to follow them.

There was no time to update Dr Teo who was differently intent upon a phone any way as well as I'm sorry for which though we had to have my move. These 3 group were genuine Samaritans they sought usually to help me as well as we appreciate them for that. They afterwards forsaken me somewhere safe.

So, since did we not let anyone know where we was for 3 days? Well, it's not which easy to do so when we was supposed to be avoiding detection. My own phone was not operative since of a complicated rain.

we had to get out of Miri, which we did upon a same day. we trafficked upon feet underneath a SESCO overhead lines as well as by hitchhiking. So, usually let it be pronounced which we didn't lay around reading about myself online as well as worrying about who to tell initial where we was.

Finally, an additional Good Samaritan gave me a new phone. It seemed ridiculous to register a phone in my own name. As shortly as which happened, we contacted my colleagues during RFS as this was a usually telephone number we could remember.

My interjection go out to them as well! as all those who helped me a great Samaritans, Dr Michael Teo, a lawyers Alan Ling as well as See Chee How. If any fingers have been still being forked during my supporters as well as friends who came to my aid in my time of need we wish this to stop now.

This is a usually reason since we am making this statement during this time. In reality, I'd be quite happy for this total eventuality to pass into history.

As for claims in a press which we 'staged' a total thing, we suggest those journalists verify my version of events with special bend in KK. As for claims which we did it for publicity, we can usually contend which it was not me which contacted a press it was my member who felt which greater coverage would minimize a chances of crude control by a police.

As for those claims which we shouldn't have run as well as which we should have waited for a military to simply arrest me, we would ask what we all would do, meaningful which we have been in danger? Would we lay in a automobile as well as wait for instructions or would we take movement as well as save yourself? we chose action.

With regards a nearby future, we will go upon to take action, fighting upon a belligerent for a people of Sarawak.

we fly no flag though theirs, as we have always done. we know which Radio Free Sarawak will lift on, business as usual, spreading a message to where it is indispensable and, of course, we will give them each assistance in that.

we urge listeners to go upon to balance in as well as attend to a genuine message. You competence even attend to me reporting from a interior. But from right away on, I'm staying right here.
