KUCHING: The return of Sarawak’s autonomous rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is meaningless if Sarawakians do not give Barisan Nasional (BN) the mandate this coming 14th General Election (GE14).
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the people ought to continue being with BN this GE14 to maintain the existing government, which has always been sincere and honest in planning for the future of the people and the state.
“I understand that many are happy with the Prime Minister’s statements on restoring Sarawak’s rights under MA63. I also know that at grassroots level, our efforts to streamline the development of the oil and gas industry in Sarawak together with Petronas have already reached the level that has been requested.
“However, these will all be meaningless if Sarawak is unsafe, unstable, and does not have a big mandate to ensure that what is being planned can be implemented,” he told a press conference at the ‘Program Jelajah Perkasa Perwira’ at the 1st Infantry Division Headquarters Muara Tuang Camp here today.
Hishammuddin also assured that his ministry will always strive to protect Sarawak from any threat.
But at the same time, he also hoped that the state government would also look into the welfare of the Malaysian Armed Forces serving in the state.
During the ceremony, Hishammuddin was on hand to present Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg with the Honorary Brigadier General.

   My comments:  
  It is words of shamelessness, evil and abuse of power.  He is slapping the faces of Abang Johari and all the Sarawakians by saying that.  This shows that he and all UMNO political thugs have no respect for MA63.  Saying to return the rights which belong to Sarawak only invoke more hatred and anger towards these political thugs.  The sights of these UMNO-BNised political thugs always incite so much disgust and rage in us, Sarawakians who have been exploited and plundered since the formation of Malaysia.  In the name of Malaysia we have been plundered and exploited at will by the Malaya government.  
  
  
  Poor Stephen Kalong Ningkan the only Chief Minister who wanted to protect the rights of Sarawak was sacked from the post.  How these evil-minded UMNO political thugs plotted to get rid of him.  Shame to Tunku Abdul Rahman for what he had done to Kalong Ningkan.  One day, we Sarawakians will install him as our hero.  One day, we Sarawakians will tell the autentic history in our history textbooks.
  
  
  The so-called national election only traps us Sarawakians and Sabahans to send UMNO-BNised ministers there to collude with you to exploit and plunder us.
  
  
  I hope all the Sarawakians will vote wisely for our own good.  Though the other party .... so lousy in many ways, we need another system of government to talk about MA63 or secede for good.
