We rise to keep our country beautiful

In our beautiful country, our great forests are home to our native people and to every wonder of animal, tree, plant and flower.

In our beautiful country, against the cries of the people, powerful businessmen greedy for timber plunder and destroy great forests that are also home to our native people.

In our beautiful country, against the cries of the people, powerful companies convert to oil palm plantations large areas of great forests that are also home to our native people.

In our beautiful country, against the cries of the people, powerful politicians build dams to flood vast areas where there are great forests that are also home to our native people.

In our beautiful country, against their cries, our native women and children are raped and their leaders murdered, and nary a culprit charged or punished, to show that powerful men can have their way.

Even then, our native people stand up to resist corruption, tyranny, violence and destruction - to keep our country beautiful.

And we rise for the same.
