还要继续马联邦的关系吗？

难道我们不应该问这样一种没有成果、没有吸引力、不平等、不公正的关系是否值得继续下去？

（16-09-2023 Robert Pei）

 到目前为止，没有人列出沙巴砂拉越继续成为马来亚摇钱树的原因和好处。

 文莱政府没有签署 MA63 并保留了其财富，这是正确的做法。 马来人要求100%控制文莱的石油和天然气。 当时的苏丹表示，马来西亚不符合他人民的利益，他不希望文莱成为马来西亚的摇钱树。 他知道不仅党卫军需要“发展”，马来亚11个州属也需要“发展”。 他知道马来亚人在经济上没有能力履行他们的承诺，因为1959年马来亚政府不得不借债1亿美元来支付国家的行政费用。

 MA63的附录J支持了这一观点，即联邦和新加坡达成了一项“附带协议”，从新加坡借款1.5亿美元来发展沙巴和砂拉越。 由于新加坡于 1965 年明智地离开，这笔贷款从未发放。

 过去60年只是展现了新殖民关系，正如MA63所说，新殖民关系被描述为殖民办公室从伦敦转移到马来亚。

 因此，马来亚没有钱，尽管我们的“祖先”，精心挑选的英国提名人对马来西亚的“发展”印象深刻。

六十年后的今天，难道我们不应该问：这样一种没有成果、没有吸引力、不平等、不公正的关系是否值得继续下去？

Isn't it time we asked if such an unfruitful unappealling unequal and unjust relationship worthwhile to hang on? 

So far no one has listed the reasons and benefits for Sabah Sarawak to remain the cash cows of Malaya. 

The Brunei gov't did the right thing not to sign MA63 and kept it's wealth. The Malayans demanded 100% control of Brunei's oil and gas. The then Sultan said Malaysia was not in his people's interest and he did not want Brunei to be a cash cow for Malaysia. He knew that not only SS needed "development" but also the 11 Malayan states. He knew that the Malayans were incapable of financially fulfilling their promises because in 1959 the Malayan gov't had to borrow $100 million to pay for the administration costs of the country. 

Appendix J to MA63 supported this view whereby the Federation and S'pore had a "side agreement" to borrow $150 million from S'pore to develop Sabah and Sarawak. The loan was never given as S'pore smartly left in 1965. 

The last 60 years only demonstrate the neocolonial relationship which was described as the transfer of the colonial office from London to Malaya, as stated by MA63.  

So Malaya did not have the money although somehow our "forefathers" the handpicked British nominees were impressed by the "development" in Malaysia.
