HARASSMENT OF POLITICAL ACTIVISTS CONDEMNED BY SAPA & SSRANZ
SSRANZ President Robert Pei said PBK President Voon Lee Shan was today (05/05/2022) again invited by the Malayan Bukit Aman Special Branch police to give an "interview" over a Facebook comment he made recently that "Ningkan and Jugah's position as CM and as federal minister was a political bribery because they nearly withdrew from Malaysia Plan after April 1963 elections"
He said that Mr Voon was interviewed before the PRN12 and soon after and then in March 2002. He was also illegally arrested and interviewed by the MACC for several hours around February 2022.
Mr Voon said, "I could decline to give a statement because a suspect of a crime can always keep quiet, but, I choose to take the opportunity to screw up the federal government and the relevant authorities in harassing activists for speaking for their rights and for speaking about problems faced by Malaysia."
I said the perception of Sabahans and Sarawakians is that for every plate of rice eaten by people in Malaya, 95% are paid by oil and gas revenues from Sabah and Sarawak. Sabahans and Sarawakians are only left 5% to eat."
He took the opportunity to present a 60-page statement to the federal government on the plight of Sarawak and Sarawkians in Malaysia. Many Sarawakians have come to see this as a subservient colonial master/subject relationship.
Many of us know that there was a lot of skullduggery going on in the so-called formation of Malaysia where Sarawakians were put under intense pressure to agree to the Malaysia plan. Many aspects of this have been well documented. For example, there was a lot of haggling over the deal to make Temenggong Jugah the first governor of Sarawak and this was rejected by the Malayans. Many political issues had to be settled or traded with compromises to conclude the annexation of Sabah and Sarawak in 1963.
The SSRANZ president pointed out that a joint press release made with SAPA in April 2022 condemned the continuing politically motivated harassment of Sarawak activists as unacceptable since it breached human rights including freedom of speech and the UN guidelines on repeatedly using the police to investigate civil matters without any real legal basis.
He said: "We have nothing against the police if they are doing their job. However if the police are being used by politically motivated parties to repeatedly make "police reports" to investigate individuals exercising freedom of speech as a form of harassment and intimidation, it constitutes a serious breach of human rights and UN guidelines on police standard operating procedures."
He said the UN police SOP guidelines stressed among other things that:
• Members of the police shall exercise their functions, powers and duties as impartial servants of the general public and the Government of the day. No member of the police may participate directly in political activities.
• No member of the police may be ordered or forced to exercise his or her functions or powers or deploy police resources to promote or undermine any political party or interest group, or any member of such a party or group.

VOON LEE SHAN'S COMMENT ON HIS INTERVIEW
I am under police investigation in connection with MA63.I was suspected to have committed a crime for speaking about MA63 and rights of citizens of Sabah and Sarawak in the federation.
I gave more than 60 pages of written statement to this officer and he spent two days in my office.
I could decline to give a statement because a suspect of a crime can always keep quiet, but, I choose to take the opportunity to screw up the federal government and the relevant authorities in harassing activists for speaking for their rights and for speaking about problems faced by Malaysia.
I said the perception of Sabahans and Sarawakians is that for every plate of rice eaten by people in Malaya, 95% are paid by oil and gas revenues from Sabah and Sarawak. Sabahans and Sarawakians are only left 5% to eat.
Why not people in Malaya earn and give Sabahans and Sarawakians 95% of what they EARN? WILL THEY DO THIS?

Saya di bawah siasatan polis berhubung dengan MA63. Saya disyaki telah melakukan jenayah kerana bercakap tentang MA63 dan hak rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak dalam persekutuan.
Saya memberikan lebih daripada 60 muka surat kenyataan bertulis kepada pegawai ini dan dia menghabiskan dua hari di pejabat saya.
Saya boleh menolak untuk memberikan kenyataan kerana suspek jenayah sentiasa boleh berdiam diri, tetapi, saya memilih untuk mengambil kesempatan untuk mencemarkan kerajaan persekutuan dan pihak berkuasa yang berkaitan dalam mengganggu aktivis kerana bercakap untuk hak mereka dan bercakap tentang masalah yang dihadapi. oleh Malaysia.
Saya berkata persepsi orang Sabah dan Sarawak ialah bagi setiap sepinggan nasi yang dimakan orang di Tanah Melayu, 95% dibayar hasil minyak dan gas dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Orang Sabah dan Sarawak hanya tinggal 5% untuk makan.
Mengapa tidak orang di Tanah Melayu memperoleh dan memberi rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak 95% daripada apa yang mereka DAPAT? ADAKAH MEREKA LAKUKAN INI?
