Residents On The Cocos Islands Feel Cheated By Australia (2012)

Cocos Malaise: When the Cocos Islands voted to become part of Australia in 1984, its residents were promised control of their land. Nearly 30 years on, locals say they're now being denied a future on their own islands.

"I want our youth to be able to stand on their own two feet and take responsibility in the Cocos Islands,", explains island elder Cree Bin Haig. "If this doesn't happen, it's as if we have gone back to being under colonial rule." 28 years ago, Malay elders negotiated the islands' integration with Australia based on promises that they would take ownership of their land and have their customs respected. Today, the islands remain blighted by external influence and many feel short-changed. "This is the homeland of the Cocos Islanders, not the homeland of the whites," declares former government adviser Dick Whittington. "But the whites have the power here. It's not right. It's not fair."

As a Cocos Malay living in Western Australia, it's already a tough journey for us living under Australian colonialism. For example, Pauline Bunce (person at 6:47) wrote a journal article about students being punished at the school on the Islands in 2009 for speaking their mother tongue; Linguistic Imperialism is something from the Stolen Generations.

I see slaves mentioned, Wealthy Englishman Alexander Hare hired a captain to bring him and a volunteer harem of 40 Malay women to the islands, where he hoped to establish his private residence. Clunies-Ross returned two years later with his wife, children and mother-in-law, and found Hare already established on the island and living with the private harem. A feud grew between the two. Clunies-Ross's eight sailors "began at once the invasion of the new kingdom to take possession of it. After some time, Hare's women began deserting him, and instead finding themselves mates amongst Clunies-Ross's sailors. Disheartened, Hare left the island. Encouraged by members of the former harem, Clunies-Ross then recruited Malays to come to the island for work and wives. Clunies-Ross's workers were paid in a currency called the Cocos rupee, Where are the slaves? Sent from my iPad

There are also ethnic Malays in Australia who came to Australia prior to the establishment of Malaysia or who have come from other regional countries including Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. However, after the establishment of Malaysia there are only limited to "Malaysian Australians" refers to Malaysians who have migrated to Australia or Australian-born citizens who are of Malaysian descent. This may include Malays as well as overseas Chinese, Indian, mixed Malaysians and other groups.There are about 500 different Aboriginal peoples in Australia, each with their own language and territory and usually made up of a large number of separate clans. Aboriginal Australians are the various Indigenous peoples of the Australian mainland and many of its islands, such as Tasmania, Fraser Island, Hinchinbrook Island, the Tiwi Islands, and Groote Eylandt, but excluding the Torres Strait Islands. Aboriginal Australians comprise many distinct peoples who have developed across Australia for over 50,000 years. These peoples have a broadly shared, though complex, genetic history, but it is only in the last two hundred years that they have been defined and started to self-identify as a single group. The definition of the term "Aboriginal" has changed over time and place, with family lineage, self-identification and community acceptance all being of varying importance.The term Indigenous Australians refers to Aboriginal Australians as well as Torres Strait Islanders, and the term should only be used when both groups are included in the topic being addressed, or by self-identification by a person as Indigenous. (Torres Strait Islanders are ethnically and culturally distinct, despite extensive cultural exchange with some of the Aboriginal groups, and the Torres Strait Islands are mostly part of Queensland but have a separate governmental status). What were the 19 crimes that sent prisoners to Australia? About 20 percent of Australians are descendants of convicts. Most ex-convicts stayed in Australia and joined the free settlers, with some rising to prominent positions in Australian society. However, being of convict descent instilled a sense of shame and cultural cringe. Attitudes became more accepting in the 20th century, and it is now considered by many Australians to be a cause for celebration to discover a convict in one's lineage. They are dominant and very powerful over policy for Australia.

It turns white people from british though colonized but still good at providing education and cooperation, in contrast to white dutch they don't care to us Indonesians, they are really evil colonizing we do not give education about the progress of modern thinking and development but we will keep trying even without outside help towards progress :)

anak negara macam apa ini dosa ko seharus nya kau banga jadi anak negara dari pada aborine di bunuh ama si ingris sampai dikit dan ampir punah udah untung kebudayan dan adat kita tidak punah untung untung kebudayan kita tidak di musnahkan tidak seperti yang dilajukan british kepada aborigin

Let's Go Forward Couldn't agree with you. I have the same thought. It seems that British provided education back in Malaya (include Singapore) and Borneo only to elite but of course, much better than those Dutch. I can understand why Indonesian are so patriotic as they fought so hard for freedom their ancestors been yearned for. Unlike Malaysia, we "might be lucky" as compared to our fellow Indonesian and also other british's colonised countries back then. And to the comment above me, telling the truth doesn't mean someone is not appreciative and being disgraceful of their country. It is history. Learn it!

Let's Go Forward Sorry to say, tapi klasik banget komentarnya, menggerutu soal apa yg dilakukan Belanda ratusan tahun yg lalu -dan membandingkannya dengan apa yg dilakukan Inggris pada koloninya-. Entah siapa yg memulai lagu jelek ini, sampai lebih dari 70 tahun merdeka saja masih bicara hal soal bagaimana penjajah memperlakukan jajahannya. Wake Up ! Sudah tahun 2000an nih..penjajah itu ya penjajah..tanya sama orang India sana yg dijajah Inggris, atau baca soal Gandhi..

Plenty of ocean currents there. Excellent place for an underwater ocean wave electricity plant and aqua culture farms (fish, crabs, lobsters, ocean weeds for medicines). They could also establish fruit plantations and a fruit juice factory like they have on the small Tahiti island of Bora Bora. Via the airport there they could ship all that stuff to WA and onwards to Asia or to the African coast islands.

The Coco Malays are complaining because they are the minorities under Australian administration but you have not seen how we non Malays minorities in Malaysia are treated by the majority Malays who are Ketuanans in Malaysia. We feel the same as you feel and that is how things go in this world. Majority always discriminate against the minorities.

[@mybraintalks]

Discrimination by the Malays in malaysia? Ever heard those 10 malaysian billionaires who are non malay complained? do u know how much malay majority contributed to the non malays busineses in malaysia? do you know how many non malay businesses were being assisted by the 'malay majority' government? .ever heard of vernacular schools for Chinese and Tamil in Malaysia? ever see how the chinese and tamil language are widely used in medias and even signboard in Malaysia? ever heard how non malays festivities are considered national holidays in malaysia? ever heard how the non malays have their own party like MCA and DAP and these parties are really hostlie towards the malays community? Then, have u ever heard how the chinese businesses discriminate the non chinese and make mandarin as mandatory for employment? ever heard how the chinese landlord only accept chinese to rent their house? ever heard how the chinese businesses have this cartel to manipulate the price of good so their community have better pricing in Malaysia? The non-malay in malaysia actually are not that oppresed and discriminate in Malaysia..Stop playing victim and stop spreading lies...

[@inthenewsbw2003]

Are the Malays oppressing you? No. You have the freedom to build & study in your own schools (at the expense of integrating with Malays even as you complain of racism). You have the freedom to profess your own faith, practice your own culture, operate your own businesses, elect your own politicians to be Ministers in the government. In fact you have profitted immensely from Malay generosity more than you ever would from where your ancestors came. Dont try to play victim. We can see through your ruse.

[@zairatulumierah9436]

Malay didn’t opressed you since colonism of British.It British who divide and conquer tanah Melayu.All of these constitution is a promise by your ancestors because British brought them here as labour.
