BorneoRagnarok wrote:Hi everyone. I am from East Malaysia (Sarawak). This is my first post. Some problem occurred "Account suspended" and I had to register again after 24 hours. Hello lowem, I admit that East Malaysia is a little bit isolated from so called modern civilization. However, we are not "living on trees" as it is "preached" by those mass media. We just don't allow any West Malaysian to be state's citizen as in the unification agreement in 1963. BTW , ADSL broadband at 384kbps only costs approximately USD 17.50 per month and USD 23.20 for 512 kbps . It can only be available in major towns.

Normally people here said Sarawak got unlimited oil as most Malaysian oil fields are situated in Sarawak. "We are net oil exporter , you know . "
BorneoRagnarok wrote:What he wrote is quite true. Malaysian are addicted to "cheap oil". Everyone had the ambition to own a car. Malaysian government subsidies the petrol price heavily.
BorneoRagnarok wrote:BTW , Sarawak had a lot of land and water. Water is not a problem here. But water pollution and deforestation is a serious problem. Almost 33 percent Sarawakian directly or indirectly involved in oil extraction and timber harvesting industries. "Jobs or stupid trees" "Our families depend on us." . Typical reaction like those 'Easter Island' people.

BorneoRagnarok wrote:Nobody here believe in peak oil . None nil. So I had to made a bet if oil price goes to USD 48 , I win the bet and will treated them with some cheap beers. If it goes down to USD 40 I treat them in a good restaurant . It made them aware of oil price and keep monitoring the price during news time I guess.

"Living on trees" huh, nah, I'd suppose that you can find a "civilized lifestyle" in the bigger towns, yeah. But there *are* natives too, like gogota said, right. Actually I think they'd do much better. One, they never "needed" all that fossil power, and two, they probably don't know what they might have missed anyway, far away from all the toxic consumeristic culture.

Yes, but not unlimited. Malaysia's oil reserves are, what, about 2-3 billion barrels? That's good for just about 1 month of global oil usage.
Was that before the 20 Aug spike to $49.40 on NYMEX - you should already have won - if you made the bet after that, well, don't worry, unless the price collapses under the support level, you should win!
hmmm.... my wife is a native.... but they do need fossil power..... like the electricity in the whole sarawak are mostly generated by natural gas.... they do have tv, motorcycle, sugar and vcd. But I think the old one will survive without fossil oil. That is why I am moving my home to the rural area so that me and my kid can start to learn to live a life with nature

...the true
civilian casualties of the Vietnam War were 2,000,000 in the north,
and 2,000,000 in the south. Military casualties were 1.1 million
killed and 600,000 wounded in 21 years of war. These figures were
deliberately falsified during the war by the North Vietnamese
Communists to avoid demoralizing the population."
So approximately 5.1 million total Vietnamese casualites.

"We can at least drive lorries up to Thailand to buy rice in an emergency. Borneo is an island, getting rice there takes time."
