Now that the ISA has been abolished by Najib Razak‘s administration, let us not abuse the newfound freedom by going to the street. Let us not destroy the peace and unity that we have helped to build over the years since we are small. Let us extend our hands over the wall partition of our homes and shake our hands with our neighbours as a symbol of friendship.
KUCHING, June 29 (Bernama) – The remains of 21 Iban warriors who were killed by communist terrorists during the Malayan Emergency will make their final journey home to Sarawak by end of next month.
