Konfrontasi all over again?

Is it going to happen again? This time it might be a lil unofficial as it wasn't launched by the Indonesian government but instead by a group called Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera).

Wiki said :
The Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation (also known as Konfrontasi in Indonesian and Malay) was an undeclared war over the future of the island of Borneo, between British-backed Malaysia and Indonesia during 1962–1966.


The group, Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera), plans to 'invade' Malaysia on the 8th October which is today (Technically it's yesterday already as it has already past 12am). Haven't heard of anything yet.

Why do they want to declare 'war' over some petty issues?

1. Indonesians working here being abused by their employees.
2. Noordin Mohammad Top.
3. Noordin Azhari Husin.
4. Sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan.

We, Malaysians helped them when they were faced with natural disasters and this is how they are treating us? I read the papers and I saw how ungrateful they were by throwing rocks at our RMAF planes which were carrying supplies for their earthquake victims.

After all is said and done, most of the time, words and actions by a certain group does not represent the majority. I seriously hope that does not, if it is, then they are one ungrateful lot.

My Indon classmates also hate them. Memalukan Indonesia, padahal both our leaders are good frens (they all SBY supporter).

The ironic thing is, I met them in this new sem, trying to get donation for the earthquake victims... Told them I'd like to help, but maybe with just prayers :) My money? Err...

Do they have nothing else to do? They should concentrate on feeding their own countrymen rather than doing all this kind of sh*t.

Any form of help would be most appreciated by them eventhough it's just a prayer. =)
