No offense, but glorying the name of 'Malay' in the context of islam teaching and bloodshed 50 years ago is not a something proud, but rather to be ashamed of as it shows how closed and irrelevant their mindset is in building up this country..

He knows what he is saying. Present-day history syllabus is stilted, myopic, and restricted to the little that these new-fanglef textbook writers know. This is to help them 'cari makan' because they can't write about anything else outside their coconut shell.

'Study' for the sake of passing and purge everything. After all what they need is just the ticket to get to higher education. When they come out to work, such biased history will be only a figment of an imagination anyway. So advice your kids to just do a GIGO till they get out of school. For now, that's the only way to 'adapt' to the current Malaysia.

That started the 100 year dynasty of the "White Rajah". The Dayaks (and the Chinese - Chinese Rebellion) are the only BUMIPUTERAS that ever resisted the Brooks at the Battle of Beting Maru, 3 Sadok Expeditions, Saribas Expedition, etc.The Dayaks are the only "Malaysians" ever to have fought a sea battle against the Royal Navy (represented by HMS Dido) at the Battle of Beting Maru.
