Sure, "Malaysia Boleh"...?
To the extent that they have no guts to inform Singapore and
Indonesia that the maps have been redrawn, to suddenly include
Pedra Branca, Pulau Sipadan, and Pulau Litigan as their
territory.
Singapore has been administering Pedra Branca for over 130 years.
Official and educational maps printed in Malaysia and in Singapore,
have always shown Pedra Branca as belonging to Singapore or
Singapura.
Indonesia had the Anglo-Dutch Treaty that clearly divided
South-east Asia between the English and the Dutch hemispheres; and
maps printed in Malaysia and Indonesia had historically shown these
two islands as belonging to Indonesia.
Yet in all the three islands, Malaysia quietly reprinted the maps
to include all three islands as being WITHIN Malaysian Territorial
Boundary.
"Malaysia Boleh" spirit did not give them the guts to inform fellow
ASEAN members, whom all three countries are the "Founding
Members".
"Malaysia Boleh" spirit allowed them to act as pirates in the high
seas, grabbing any territories that they feel belong to them, and
when the other side is having domestic problems in politics or
economics.
"Malaysia Boleh" spirit has blinded them to their acts of being
dishonest even to themselves - twisting and turning with their own
preferred fabrication of events; and when exposed with the truth of
the matter, they will turn on a different side to pin the 'blame'
on the aggrieved party for having started the whole problem.
"Malaysia Boleh" has resulted in impressive Petronas Twin Towers,
but it left a huge hole burnt into the National Treasury; and
emptied several other Office Towers in the City that remain quiet
and empty since the opening of the Twin Towers.
"Malaysia Boleh" is a cry to convince a hopeless kid that he can
make it, and sadly after 40 years of constant nudging, the
hopelessness remains.
