Kibaran Jalur Kuning Putih dan Hitam


Kibaran Jalur Kuning Putih dan Hitam
Sebuah sajak karya Haji Rozan Yunos, 6 Februari 2013

Wahai anak watan
Tengoklah dan saksikanlah
Bendera kita berkibar di angkasa
Tidakkah kamu gementar
Tidakkah kamu merasa bangga
Melihat jalur kuning putih dan hitam
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Perjalanan kita amat jauh
Lebih satu abad kita dinoda
Di bawah perlindungan bangsa asing
Pemerintahan dijalankan
Menggunakan nama Sultan
Tetapi jauh dari realitinya
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Apakah malang nasib pertiwi
Tidak berupaya mempertahankan diri
Negara diperkosa tanpa bistari
Tetapi kita bangun
1959 pemerintahan dalaman
1984 pemerintahan keseluruhan
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Tidak ada titisan darah
Hanya keringat di badan
Sultan yang keduapuluh lapan
Memperbetulkan jalan
Dengan perlembagaan diadakan
Bertawakal kepada Illahi
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Nasib kita mula berubah
Illahi kurniakan sumber galian
Menjadi pembela bangsa dan negara
Negara miskin menjadi kaya
Berupaya membina anak watan
Itulah sejarah perlu dijaga
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Falsafah negara tidak digubah
Memang sudah turun temurun
Sejak zaman Awang Alak Betatar
Melayu Islam Beraja sudah namanya
Budaya Melayu sudah warisan
Tidak perlu dipersoalkan
Berkibar di angkasa
 
Alhamdulillah kita ucapkan
Kemerdekaan penuh dikecapi
Laungan Allahu Akbar dilaungkan
Penuh dengan kesayuan dan kebanggaan
Brunei sudah negara merdeka
Jalur kuning putih dan hitam
Berkibar megah di angkasa

Today is the day, Brunei Darussalam's giant flag is raised in Bandar Seri Begawan to mark the beginning of the 29th National Day celebration. As Chairman of the Organising Committee for the event, I thought I will mark it with the publication of this sajak which I wrote a few days before.

Family Titles in Brunei

On my recent blog on Brunei's Time Line , one commentator got carried away and she started to talk about events in the past before moving on to nicknames. I enjoyed what she wrote and I offered for her to write a whole blog about it and I will put it up. But up to now, I have not received anything from her. So, Hajah Yati, if you are reading, my offer still stands. And for the rest of you readers out there, if you don't have your own blogsite, I am most ready to offer my site for the occassional blogs that you want to write - just make sure the blogs are Brunei related. You can set up your own blogsite once you feel comfortable. As someone later on commented, it will be nice to read someone else's blogs too on this website. At least on this one, you get an instant 300+ readers a day. So, please, my e-mail is admin@bruneiresources.com. Do write. I don't have much on nicknames to write on as suggested by Hajah Yati. I remembered when I was at school (primary), I have fri...

Pulau Cermin - Brunei's Historic Island

Image
Since I was already on the water visiting the Jong Batu at one end of the Brunei River, I thought I might as well go to the other end and visit the other historical site of Brunei, Pulau Cermin. Pulau Cermin as many Brunei historians know it is the site of the temporary palace of Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin, the 13th Sultan of Brunei and is the site of the only civil war in Brunei History. Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin took the throne after assasinating Sultan Muhammad Ali. It was quite a bloody time in Brunei history and I remembered one classic book written by Yura Halim entitled "Mahkota Berdarah" regarding the episode. Pulau Cermin - view from the River In a nutshell, Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin was the Bendahara when his son was killed by the son of Sultan Muhammad Ali. He requested that his son's death be avenged but Sultan Muhammad Ali denied him. So Bendahara Abdul Mubin went amok killing a few people at the palace and with his followers took the Sultan and killed him (No...
