A tale of two cities – Raimy Che Ross’ side
15 Jun 2005 (malaysiakini.com) – Raimy Che Ross shares his (different) side of the story behind the lost city of Johor.
Discovery insight: Dumber and dumber
Somewhere in the underground vaults of a Jabatan Kerajaan’s Swedenborgian space, lurk two files; one marked “Gelanggi”; the other, “Linggui”.
The folder with “Linggui” scribbled over its cover should, by now, be about half a yard thick and bursting at its spine. Stuffed within are presumably minutes to clandestine meetings, press clippings, confidential memos, dodgy expedition plans, nefarious schemes, plus the frantic drafts of the forthcoming Cabinet Report due in August.
The other binder, bearing “Gelanggi” across its surface, would in comparison be quite a slim file. It would contain nothing more than a few personal letters and printed e-mails written by yours truly, my CV, perhaps copies of the JMBRAS article, and my original draft proposal for a proper follow-up expedition to validate the find.
Reason for the disparity?
Bolehlah-land buffoonery.

the truth is out there. why Kota gelanggi has not been pursued. jUST BECAUSE IT WOULD BRING THE TRUTH THAT HINDU & BUDHIST FAITH EXISTED BEFORE ISLAM. JUST LOOK AT WHT THE M’SIAN GOV HAD DONE TO LEMBAH BUJANG.

yes. like india ruled by the moguls until the british saved the parias.. hindus were long lost then, most of them changed to christianity to redefine their parianess.. my great respect to mahatma gandhi, though he is a hindu, he is my hero.. he died as a hindu, but he fought for all. don’t hate me, it’s the truth!
oh btw, not all malays are muslim. when they convert to islam, they inherited the arab jahilia attitute. they became asian arabs wannabe. also, malays has a crossbreed religion in between hindu and buddha before islam. these religions shared by many but not owned. remember, they were invaded by raja chola from southern india. (is he a black hindu or white or brown? does this matter to you? if not, very good then.)
it racial kind of claims that sides between us..
i’m a malay and i’m willing to share in peace. the problem is that we are sharing with people who won’t share with us.. don’t talk about the same workload when your real god is money or greed.
wassallam. may allah bless you and your family regardless of who you are and what race or country you came from.
