Nobody knows that there is such a day called 'World's Indigenous people's Day' which is celebreated on the 9th of August each year.
The day was celebrated in Miri on the Malaysian National scale. It was graced by various communities coming from as far as West Malaysia and Sabah. We called our selves 'Orang Asal'.
It was grand affair as their are no big name politician but only those ordinary folks who stand up for their people. I was relieved because there was no protocol but just a celebrations among fellow strugglers.
My emotion was stirred when giving my speech knowing that we have come a long way in our struggle against oppression and suppression. The road ahead is still long and arduous but we can be rest assured that we are not along. The crowds gets bigger in our march towards JUSTICE for the Orang Asal.
