Sarawak for Sarawakians is for every Sarawakian, and doesnt belong to anyone exclusively. This nationalistic call is more than 50 years old, and has been echoed time and time at varying degrees.
Sarawak for Sarawakians cry started in the 1960s when Malaysia Plan was proposed and SUPP who fought for independence and not merger with Malaya, started the slogan. Later Sarawak for Sarawakians was taken up by Stephen Kalong Ningkan and SNAP. Recently, even former CM and current CM cite Sarawak is for Sarawakians.
Lee, the designer of this logo surrendered the design for our use unconditionally for the good of Sarawak. Everyone can use this design. Nobody can copyright the slogan, anyone can try, but will not succeed.
Any Sarawakian can use the logo to print any merchandise and sell throughout Sarawak, the more ppl wear and use it, the more successful is it, so pls do unreservedly.
Macedonia also used 'Macedonia for Macedonians' successfully in their aspiration for freedom and liberty. They won.
Sarawak for Sarawakians reflect the aspiration of the Sarawak people. The cry is to unite Sarawakians, not divide us.
We thank Lee for his inspiring design. He is one Sarawak nationalist who has given his commitment and dedication unselfishly, without any thought of return.
So too has Beng Kor, who has been there from the beginning and moved mountains and distances, with his passion for land and country.
