ONCE again, reality bites the poison pen blog disguising itself as legitimate 'journalism' with the recent revelation by the Junior Chamber International (JCI) whom Sarawak hosted early September, that Sarawak remains the very beacon of peace that it has been celebrated for time and again.
The JCI had recently organised the acclaimed International Summit of Peace in the Sarawak capital of Kuching. The choice obviates and testifies to the continued successes of the Abdul Taib, Adenan and currently, Abang Jo Administrations in fostering peace and harmony despite Sarawak being situated in a region still being rocked by persistent and deadly inter-communal and inter-religious strifes.
We feel that it is this very potent combination of harmony and peace that is standing in the way of Sarawak Report and Bruno Manser Fonds - its fondest and most loyal pet animal, and they will stop at nothing to undermine and disrupt this enviable status quo that Sarawakians from all walks of life enjoy, as it is only within the ashes of destruction can these camps conjure up a corrupted Utopia in their own distorted images.
May their efforts continue to go to waste.
