Sabah Or Sarawak?

After reading the news put up by Bernama and The Star Online, I start to wonder why they keep making the same mistake on Sabah and Sarawak.

I'm referring to the following piece of news today:-

Title: Body of third Sabah landslide victim found
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/1/26/nation/20090126110539&sec=nation

It should have been "Sarawak" rather than "Sabah" as Limbang is within the territory of Sarawak and not Sabah.

The editor in Bernama should be more careful in his/her editorial works.

Maybe that's the result of years of ignorence and one of the indications of Sabah being left-out in the nation building?

新年快乐!

如果有注意RTM新闻报导,他们也常常把沙巴和砂拉越混淆。

这个问题颇常发生,西马对东马的了解不足,不管是媒体或是政党,往往拿西马的标准放诸东马,结果就会失之千里。

也許这就是西马同胞要改变的第一步 - 先搞好地理知识 (或心態)

祝两位博客 - “博今愉快,新年快樂”.
