When I was study at US, some Malaysian student ask me. Do Sarawakian and Sabahan still live at tree top?
Only Malaysian student from West Malaysia ask me that question. Singapore student never ask me this type of question. Why? LangkauGaris, do you know that Sabah and Sarawak don't have Train service? LangkauGaris, once my friend visit Ipoh town. His friends ask him, " Does Kuching has shopping center like Ipoh?" Dude do you know that Kuching is much bigger then Ipoh. What I am tried to said is a lot of west Malaysian had no idea of East Malaysian. LangkauGaris, no offend taken. Don't worry.

Dear Muslims, Our muhammad says he is a prophet right? But according to our qur’an he cannot perform miracles and wonders like the prophets in the bible. Why? Our muhammad says he is sent as the final prophet right? But the bible says there are no more prophets after John the Baptist in Luke 16:16. – “The Law and Prophets were until John (the Baptist)†Our allah says he is the same deity as the judeo-christian right? But the judeo-christian deity finds re-marriages DISGUSTING (Jeremiah 3:1), while our allah encourages sex with new husband before returning to previous husband. Bukhari Volume 7, 63, Number 187. Our allah says he saved the Jews in the Exodus right? But why our allah cannot even save muhammad from poisoning and muhammad’s sons all died in their infancies. Greatest prophet right? Or are we fooling ourselves? Look at it this way, if we remove the link to the judeo-christian deity, islam becomes zero cos muhammad & allah cannot be trusted.

Don't pay attention to what he asked you. Sometimes people are just weird and they want to keep you wondering ... just like you are still thinking about it. Forget about it and continue with your life.

I was not so long ago with a Malaysian student - a Malay - on the phone and at some moment he asked me when I would come to Malaysia. I explained nicely that I was in Malaysia, living here in Sabah kan... he asked a staggering three times, each time with more emphasis on the word MALAYSIA until I gave up. I related this story to two friends, and both have had similar experiences while studying in Peninsular Malaysia. They were asked: "when you finish your studies, will you stay in Malaysia or go back to Sabah?" Now these are recent incidents, and while we have just celebrated a mystical 50 years of Malaysia I find it is not only sad, but also rather worrying that Sabah and Sarawak are still not considered Malaysia amongst many West Malaysians... now I am still waiting until someone asks me if we live in trees! I have heard that story many times, but I have not yet been 'victim' myself. Thus, the question is: what do they learn at Schools in West Malaysia about Sabah and Sarawak???

Students from west malaysia have got not much chance to travel to east malaysia. I have heard my grandfather telling me that too, with explanation that there are many orang asli there. It was later when i grew up thn i found out my grandfather bluffed!! Singapore students never asked cos they have never seen a tree that has got a house on it in real life. They thought all houses are actually flats or landed property.

What is wrong living on a tree? I would find the biggest tree and build a house on top of it like Robinson Crusoe. It would be the coolest crib ever built!!! Just imagine: waking up to the sound of chirping birds, watching the sun rises through the morning mist while enjoying the fauna and flora. That is what I called "a piece of heaven!!!". Sadly, I do not live on a tree but it would be a privilege to live on one!

Try this : Some people ask me whether Sabah and Sarawak use the same currency as Semenanjung, how do we come to Semenanjung (by car or train), and the most ridiculous question : is Sabah in Malaysia????? helloo... The one asking about the currency thing was Chinese. This is not about anti-semenanjung sentiment, this is about... errmmm... 'how come they didn't know those stuff'? One person asking is okay but, more than 10? My friend was singing some Malay song while having a seminar at Kajang and someone was so surprised that my friend can sing to awie's song. ?????? Hahaha... we can sing britney spears too hehe.. no anti-what so over la here, just find it funny.. hihi... i'm 'interneting' on top of a tree... beautiful view..

LangkauGaris, I wish what you said is true, but actually they (esp my stupid seniors) did ask me that when I first came to Melaka to study in a boarding school. They even ask me how my tree house look like. They can't believe me when I said I rarely go into forest, so forget living in it. By the way, that LRT question is valid. Where got LRT in Sabah & Sarawak? Edit: Another real life experience. I studied in Tawau until I was form 3. So one day, one teacher from Semenanjung was introduced to us. In her first class with us, she told us that she was surprised that Tawau was not as she imagined before. When she received her posting letter, she was worried that she was sent to a jungle and she start imagining living without clean water and electricity with no proper transportation etc. But when she arrived, she was amazed that Tawau is actually a modern town with buildings made of bricks, not wood, and we do have electricity, tap water, buses, taxi etc and jungle is nowhere to be found. She finally said that there is not much difference living in West M'sia and Sabah.

it is rather offensive to be mistaken for living in trees in the jungle. And people wonder why i want Sabah and Sarawak to be indepepndant from Malaysia. They think we are incapable of running our own government because they think we live in trees in the jungle It is this kind of thinking that is the reason why Malaysians wont let Sabahans become bosses instead sending people from semenanjung to come and rule us. ------------------------- when i was in the US other Malayasian international students thought Sabah was part of the Philippines. I thought they were joking... they werent.
