Are you coming over, Benteng?

Interesting but what a joke? A group of Indonesian calling themselves Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat is planning to attack our people in our country with primitive weapons like bamboo poles, parang and sticks and so on. Why are they doing so? They are accusing that Malaysian are stealing their cultures and abusing their people who work as maid in Malaysia.

I don’t know since when people become so emotional over some misunderstanding on culture sort of things. In the past, there were wars arising on dispute on religions or related matters but claiming people for stealing their culture and waging war arising from that is something quite rare. In the modern world nowadays where globalization has slowly opening up for the growth of cross-cultural development, it is laughable that some of our Indonesian friends are making hell lot of big story simply because “we steal their cultures”.

Wouldn't it be more meaningful if Benteng can divert their 1300 good people to Padang for the humanitarian work rather than seeping into Sarawak to attack the innocent people.
