Auk am a Malaysian

It was just the other day a friend remarked that he is not a "pure" Malay, possibly by the various infusions of other "bloods" throughout the generation.
Then in jest i said, "So you Melayu Plastic?"(A Plastic Malay)

Seriously man we all in reality are "Plastic man(or woman)",i can possibly relate that my "blood" has its fair share of infusion....Riau Malay,Bugis, Chinese, you name it great probability it's all there just don't bother to find out more.

It goes back to a more interesting phenomena, the Lingua Franca (common language) of Sarawak.
Hands up you all out there who knows where was this unique "Rojak Malay" with its loud accentuation really originate from?
"Auk", "Sik", "kamek", "bulak kitak", "ngando" hmmm all those unique words that do not appear at all in the Malay dictionary.
"Sik mek tau koh".....
I related all above because of what i saw being presented at a St Joseph school band parents meeting yesterday.
I have to cancel my golf game as Faizul(the twin) insisted i must attend the session.

I was certainly intrigued and fascinated by one view graph shown by the school teacher,
....training,laughing,crying ,together because we are Josephians, we are Sarawakians,we are Malaysians"

Excuse me Madam can i just correct you ? ...We are above all Malaysians and truly proud of that!!!!
Ya, we may be "Melayu Plastic", "Cina Hokkien", "Iban Saribas", India Port Klang" but along the course of our nation's 50 years existence we have developed an essentially Malaysian identity and character.

Our cravings for Nasi lemak, Roti Canai, Char kway Teow you name it,also our tendency to put ourselves down, our penchant for titles and of course now our obsessions for hopping around(sometimes naked) Yes we are definitely above all, Malaysians!!
Auk, auk auk...
