Sarawak

Heritage
Memorandum
2010

We, the sons and daughters of Sarawak, the Land of Hornbills; are proud of
our diverse culture, rich heritage and long history. These are the identity of
each and everyone born and bred here in Sarawak. We carry it with us, no
matter where we are. Regardless of educational background, political
affiliation and religious faith, when we speak of Sarawak, we speak of it with
honour and we speak of it in pride.
We, the sons and daughters of Sarawak, the Land of Hornbills; are not
abhorrent of progress and development. However, the recent happenings
have shown a tendency towards unbridled development, which is a danger
towards our culture, our heritage and our history. Our buildings, our
monuments, our legacy of yester-years are being taken down, torn apart and
demolished all in the name of so-called progress and development. For us,
even though the buildings and monuments were built during our darkest
hour, but because of this era, we are defined today.

Thus, it is a stab in the eyes and heart of each and every one of the sons and
daughters of Sarawak that these landmarks are being carelessly demolished
without any concern of their significance in Sarawak‘s personality. Therefore,
we would like to appeal to Malaysian Government, Sarawak State
Government, Sarawak Tourism and Heritage Ministry and all related
ministries to put a check on unbridled development that are or will be
endangering our buildings and monuments be it man-made or by forces of
nature. Let there be, a consensus, if ever they need be development, from the
sons and daughters of Sarawak.

年沙捞越文物备忘录

身为砂劳越的子女，我们应该为这拥有着我们的多元文化，
传统和悠久历史的国土而感到自豪。这些是每个出生以及成长
于砂劳越州的儿女们的特征。无论我们身在何处，我们都贯彻
相连。尽管不同的教育背景，政治倾向和宗教信仰，我们拥有
一个共同点，那就是当我们谈起砂劳越时，我们是光荣，
自豪的。

身为砂劳越的子女，这块属于犀鸟的土地是不应该被迅速的进
步发展而糟蹋。然而，最近的发展趋势出对我们的文化遗产造
成危险。这些所谓的发展正在摧毁我们的传统与历史，我们的
建筑，我们的古迹，我们多年遗留下来的遗产。这些建立在我
们最黑暗时刻的建筑物和古迹，
对我们来说却是我们这个时代最有意义的象征和代表。

因此，当砂劳越的子女目睹这些标志被肆无忌惮的发展而遭拆
除，心里的痛尤如插了把剑。因此，我们应要求砂劳越州政府
和砂劳越旅游和遗产部关心这样肆无忌惮的发展，无论是人为
或自然力量，正在或将要危及我们的建筑物和古迹。让我们有
一个共识，让砂劳越的子女一起发展。

WARISAN
SARAWAK
2010
Kami, anak-anak jati Sarawak Bumi Kenyalang; amat berbangga dengan
kepelbagaian budaya, warisan dan sejarah negeri kami yang telah wujud sejak
sekian lama. Ini adalah identiti setiap seorang daripada kami yang dilahirkan
di sini. Ke mana sahaja kami pergi, ke seluruh seluruh duniapun, kami tetap
bawa identiti ini bersama kami tanpa mengira latar belakang pendidikan,
fahaman politik dan agama kepercayaan. Setiap kali kami bercakap mengenai
Sarawak, kami akan bercakap tentangnya dengan penuh rasa hormat dan
bangga.
Kami, anak-anak jati Sarawak Bumi Kenyalang; sedar tentang perlunya
kemajuan dan pembangunan dalam negeri yang tercinta.
Walaubagaimanapun, kejadian-kejadian kebelakangan ini telah menuju
kepada pembangunan tanpa perancangan dan mengancam budaya, warisan
dan sejarah negeri. Semua yang tersenarai telah tidak diselenggara, dibiar dan
dimusnah atas nama pembangunan. Bagi kami, walaupun kebanyakan
bangunan bersejarah dan mercu tanda ini dibina semasa titik hitam zaman
penjajahan, namun, semuanya adalah tetap sebagai bukti warisan kemenjadian
jati diri kami pada hari ini.
Maka, adalah satu penghinaan kepada keunikan personaliti Sarawak dan
kesedihan kepada anak-anak jati Sarawak apabila semua bangunan warisan,
mercu tanda, tempat bersejarah tidak dipelihara, dipulihara dan akhirnya
diroboh sewenang-wenangnya. Kami merayu kepada Kerajaan Malaysia,
Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak, Kementerian Pelancongan dan Warisan dan
kementerian yang berkaitan supaya memantau dengan teliti kerancakan
pembangunan yang mengancam semua warisan Sarawak; tanpa mengira ia
adalah binaan manusia atau semulajadi. Wujudkan permuafakatan khas
sebelum sebarang pembangunan dengan mengambilkira pandangan anak-
anak jati Sarawak.
