The Issue

1. English has always been the official language of Sarawak as provided for under Article 161(1) and (2) of the Federal Constitution and Article 2(c ) of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Therefore, Sarawak anthem shall be in English. It's a big mistake to change Sarawak national anthem from "Fair Land Sarawak" to "Sarawak Bahagia" in 1973 than replaced by "Ibu PertiwiKu" from 1988 untill present day. 

英文一直都是砂拉越的官方语言,这是由联邦宪法161(1)及(2)条文和1993马来西亚契约所规定。因此,砂拉越国歌也必须是英语的。"美丽的砂拉越“作为砂拉越国歌在1973年被”Sarawak Bahagia“取代,并在1988年换成现在的”Ibu PertiwiKu“是一个严重的错误。

2. There is no official religion in Sarawak. But present Sarawak states anthem "Ibu Pertiwiku" mention "Tuhan Maha Esa". This is obviously self-contradictory.

砂拉越没有任何官方宗教。但是当今的砂拉越州歌"Ibu Pertiwiku" 却提及”真主至大“。这很明显是互相矛盾。

3. "Fair Land Sarawak" has her historic value, lyrics uncontroversial and hopefulness.
 For the above reasons, we strongly recommend this song to be restored as Sarawak national anthem. 

”美丽的砂拉越“有其历史价值、歌词无争议性和充满美好的向往。居于上述原因,我们强烈推荐这首歌还原为砂拉越国歌。
