Formed on 16 September 1963, Malaysia came into being through the free will and shared aspiration of Sarawak, Sabah and the Federation of Malaya, bound by solemn agreements that safeguard our rights, autonomy and distinct identity. These accords guaranteed us equal status, fair resource sharing and the preservation of our customs, language and way of life, proof that we joined as partners, not subordinates. Our forefathers and leaders sacrificed time, effort and comfort in long, difficult negotiations to secure these terms, ensuring that Sarawak and Sabah would never lose who we are. Since then, we have advanced together:- broader markets, shared resources, stronger security and faster progress in infrastructure, education and healthcare have lifted lives across our land. We take pride not only in our own heritage but also in the wisdom of those who chose unity on fair and honourable terms. Together, we stand stronger, richer in diversity, and more prosperous than we could ever be alone, this is why we are proud to be Sarawakian and proud to be Malaysian. OooHaaaa...
