What is Patriotism?
By Hj Amde Sidik
KOTA KINABALU - I couldn’t agree more with Datuk Patrick Sindu (Consumer-cum- social activist) DE 04/07/2012 on the issue of praising for defacing properties, which Patrick called it ‘vandalising spree’ by painting, 1,000 trees and rocks with 1Malaysia logo.
In my view, the Assistant Minister who praised instead of criticizing must be out of his mind.
What are trees we planted for and rock that are there to beautify our surroundings?
If this retiree, is doing it out of patriotism he should learn what patriotism is all about.
There are many ways to express our love of country. Mind you, there is a different between the kind love we hold for to our leader and love we hold for our nation, surely not necessarily shown by ruining public property because others may not share what Sabturani Angsa’s is doing.
Some people like trees as trees not as canvas.
My patriotism isn’t based on because I agree with the leader of my country.
My patriotism to my country is regardless whoever in power and that would not make it different. But if the person, the leader who I happened to share his views with, that is mine altogether.
Haji Amde Sidik is the Deputy President of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP)

SUGGEST EVERYONE PATRIOT- GO PAINT UP THIS PRESUMPTUOUS IDIOT'S HOUSE WITH "1MALAYA"
ReplyDeleteWhat a PR..K!
He is not free to vandalise the public place but he is free to paint his whole house with "1Malaysia" if he is so "patriotic".
Applying his logic everyone can freely go to paint up his house with the sign!
Furthermore, If this guy loves his Malayan masters so much he can migrate to Malaya....
And take all the illegals with him!
Why "1Malaysia"? This only reinforces the colonial ideology of dominating Sabah and Sarawak by UMNO.
For Sabahans and Sarawakians it is betrayal not patriotism to kowtow to the foreign Malayan master!
PAINTING UP A FILTHY MESS FOR "MALAYSIA COLONISATION DAY" ON 31 AUGUST!
ReplyDeleteIt seems this guy is VANDALISING the town for the coming Malaysia Colonization Day on 31 August!
And his foreign masters let him freely mess up the town without reprimand or charge him with vandalism. Democracy UMNO style!
We should all demand that this arrogant chap go back and clean up the filthy mess he created!
Why did we get “independence on 31 August 1963”?
This was just a cunning trick of the Malayan colonials who annexed Sabah in 1963- they made sure that we all celebrate THEIR independence day. It is a symbol of their dominating Sabah.
We can also commemorate this date as “Resistance Day” against the imposition of Malaysia on Sabahan ad Sarawak- and call it ”Malaysia Colonisation Day”.
Sabahans on this day we protest by flying the colonial flag UPSIDE DOWN- Sabah sinking in distress!
yes... I will go and paint every tree and rock in my area with 1 malaysia logos to show my patriotism..thank you Amde...
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I will join you. Name the time and place. Should I bring spray cans or cat papan?
DeleteTRAITORS!
DeleteErrr... i against the effort. why should we paint the tree and the rock with the 1 Malaysian Logo? there is nothing we can get by doing the painting.
ReplyDeletePaint the rock I can understand, artistic representation of patriotism. Painting the tree might not be so good for the health of the tree.
DeleteThese scums already chopped down most of our trees!
DeleteWhose idea to paint it on the trees, anyway?
DeleteIt would be better if they so a charity visit, it is more valuable.
ReplyDeleteDifferent people have different ways to showing their patriotism, some people like painting on trees...
ReplyDeleteSo, the definition of patriotism is subjective.
DeleteNothing wrong or right actually. Different kind of art of love.
DeleteSome may prefer to paint their arse and show how is 1Malaysia bullshit
ReplyDeleteplease don't vandalize your arse..
DeleteGo right ahead if you want to paint your arse, no one's stopping you. It's your own choice if that's how you want to show your patriotism.
DeletePlease read the fine print "their arse" i.e.UMNO worshippers arses.
DeleteBetter still brand their arses with "1Malaya"! if they live the Malayans so much!
"1Malaysia" stands for Malayanization and colonization of Sabah... No one denies that.
Anyone who does are welcome to migrate to Malaya & take all the illegals with them!
nilai patriotik perlu kita sematkan dalam diri.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, patriotism comes from the heart.
DeleteKeperibadian, penilaian dan semangat dalam hati tu yang penting.
Deletesetuju, semangat patriotik perlu ada dalam dari setiap orang.
Deletesemangat patriotik jangan hanya dilihat pada luaran saja.
Deleteberbagai cara kita nak tunjukkan semangat patriotik.. apapun, semangat ini harus kuat dalam diri kita.
ReplyDeletepaling penting dalam hati ada perasaan cintakan negara.
Deletedengan adanya semangat patriotik, semua bersemangat untuk melihat negara ini jadi lebih maju.
DeleteSemangat ini harus diamalkan oleh semua golongan demi perpaduan negara.
Deletethere are all sorts of ways to express our love of country but painting tress and stones with 1 Malaysia logo is just messy.
ReplyDeleteWho said we want to be patriots of "1Malaysia"?
Delete1Sabah for Sabahans
Malayans go home! And take the illegals with you!
macam terlebih sudah tu kalau pokok batu pun mahu dilukis.
ReplyDeletePatriotisme = tidak gadai kedaulatan negara
ReplyDeletetolong lukis logo 1Malaysia pada pokok2 balak yang ada di Sabah supaya terselamat dari tergadai oleh penyamun2 UMNO..
DeleteSetiap pokok ada lukisan ini. Memang cantik jugalah dilihat. Tapi mungkin ada pandangan negatif juga dari pihak lain mengenai perkara ini.
ReplyDeleteA paint mean nothing about Patriotisme, all these need to build and start from the inner heart.
Deletesetiap orang ada cara untuk tunjukkan rasa cinta pada negara..
ReplyDeletelain orang lain caranya untuk tunjukkan patriotik.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong, may be this is his way to express his love towards the country.
ReplyDeleteSemangat cinta negara harus dipupuk semasa kecil.
ReplyDeleteyang tiada2 ba isu kena highlight di wikisabah ni..
ReplyDeleteDeputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V, the Sultan of Kelantan, called urged all Malaysians to intensify their patriotic fervour for the love of the country.
ReplyDeleteSultan Muhammad said the baptism of fire to sacrifice for the country''s sake should always be instilled in the nation''s heart and never forget those who sacrificed their lives when defending the nation.
