Fallen Heroes

DARAH PAHLAWANKU 

Pergimu diiringi doa restu
Berbekalkan doa dan harapan nusa dan bangsa
Moga dirimu selamat dan musuh akan tumpas 

Demi kedaulatan negara
Tanggungjawab harus dilaksanakan
Sumpah dan Janjimu sebagai perwira negara digalas


Hanya Tuhan yang tahu gelodak dijiwamu wahai perwira
Dikala dirimu berdepan dengan musuh
Biar matamu dirobek-robek
Biar badanmu ditembusi peluru
Biar badanmu dikerat seribu
Semangat juangmu tidak terbanding hingga ke titisan darah yang terakhir

Terpahat namamu dalam sejarah
Gugurmu demi kedaulatan negara
Tumpahnya darahmu di bumi Lahad Datu
Melayangnya nyawamu di bumi Semporna

Engkaulah perwira
Engkaulah pahlawan

My special and humble dedication to the fallen heroes from the VAT69, PGA and 2 army personnel in the Lahad Datu and Semporna tragedy.  Semoga roh kalian dicucuri rahmat hendaknya dan ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman and may your soul rest in peace dear soldier.

I share their sorrows and I can understand their grieve and sadness,  as my father was formerly a commando himself back in the 70s and 80s, my father had his share of fighting with the communists then (he was badly hurt in one of the ops). I am proud of them all.

Bahasa Melano Balingian

-
My trip to Miri not only gave me the opportunity to reunite with old friends that I missed dearly but I also took the golden opportunity to learn more about my dad's language. My dad is a Melanau from Kpg Suyong, Balingian. Their melanau dialect differs from the rest of the Melanau dialects from Mukah, Oya, Rejang, Dalat, Matu, Igan & Bintulu. Sad to say that this particular dialect is slowly disappearing. Even my aunt Regina or fondly known as Usu Ina who is married to a melanau from Bintulu is at loss with her own Balingian dialect at times. So far, I've noticed that only my dad, my first cousins Lai & Kak Senah are still speaking this beautiful dialect fluently. Usu Ina converse mostly in the Mukah dialect and I observed that she would refer to Lai if she was not sure of the language itself. My dad and his siblings back in Balingian still converse in their own dialect but once they are out of their kampung, they would converse in the Mukah dialect again. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
