We are united 6/6/2018
I cannot copy and past the news "Sarawakian lawyers urged to fight for MA63 rights"    I am typing it.
Kuching:  Sarawakian lawyers are invited to set up a team with the view to consider pursuing legal action in the International Court of Justice to seek a resolution once and for all the rights of Sarawak under Malaysia Agreement 1963  (MA63)
       The team must also assert in the Federal Court such rights which must be resolved by the International Court because MA63 is an international treaty.
       Lawyer Shankar Ram in calling for the setting up of the legal team, said in light of the Federal Court original action filed by Petronas against the Sarawak government regarding interpretation of purported rights under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA74), it is absolutely crucial for all Sarawakians to rise up to protect and advance  the fundamental constitutional rights of Sarawak for all Sarawakians now and for the future.
       Unless such is done expediently, the Federal Court will hear Petronas' case, he said.
       "We are in no position to seek a stay of the Federal Court proceedings pending the final adjudication by the International Court of Justice.  We must really act fast and now. "
     In any event, he said Sarawakian legal minds must help to assert Sarawak's legal rights under MA63 in the Federal Court.

My comments:
Seeing all the line up of the lawyers and others to protect the rights of Sarawak, I feel consoled and happy.  Do we have anything to lose to secede?  I hope the Sarawak government will work hand in hand with the local team and at the same time, we should be prepared to get lawyers internationally to help us if needed.
