The 11 states in Peninsula Malaysia are like zip-saw puzzles being pieced together to form the Federation of Malaya.

The Federation of Malaysia on 16/9/1963 is the formation of the three nations with Sarawak 18points and Sabah 20points of Agreement on equal basis.

But UMNO-BN has broken all the rules and regulations of the Agreement all these years. MA63 started the machinery of plundering and exploitation of the UMNO-BN in these two territories.

Sarawak and Sabah are now like beggers in the Federation hungry for proper development. These UMNO-BN political thugs always come with the promises of funds for development during the time of election.

Many a time the promised allocation funds did not come at all or did come with a large portion being pick-pocketed in the forms of commission or being drained in other loopholes all the way down from the “PM’s office”.

It is giving some after so much plundering and exploiting. In short, I should say, “It is giving in minimal after so much plundering.”

I must say the illegimate concentreation of power in the hand of the Federal government is the curse and shame of UMNO-BN.

There are only foul plays in everything in the Federation of Malaysia. I dare to declare the federation of Malaysia is void or worthless in every sense.

Sarawak and Sabah are being colonised since MA63. There are calls for secession being echoed here and there for the people who care for the upholding the enitities of Sarawak and Sabah as a whole as stipulated in MA63.

In my investigation of MA63 and Sarawak’s and Sabah’s position in the Federation, I chanced to come upon the organization “Sarawak-Sabah Kuala Malaysia / SSKM” founded by Doris Jones. I have become the follower of Doris Janes in the cause since then.

I also came upon many good and upright souls pleading our Federal Master to review MA63 and to uphold the Agreement of the Federation of Malaysia/MA63 for everybody’s good. The pleadings just fell on the deaf ears of the dead souls.

S4S called for 300,000 signatures in three months for the autonomy for Sarawak for the same reason and cause.

KUCHING, Jan 5 — The Sarawak For Sarawakians (S4S) movement said it has collected 270,000 signatures, or over 10 per cent of the Sarawakian population, in its campaign for legislation mandating referendums on issues involving the state’s ‘autonomy. - See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/10pc-of-sarawakians-want-referendums-on-state-autonomy-ngo-says#sthash.BoLcrjNW.dpuf

For 52 years, Sarawak and Sabah have been plundered and exploited. Do we need another 52 years to gain our autonomy or secession from the Federation? It is beyond my guessing in such an uncertain political climate.

But I know SSKM /S4S/ have started the cause with gathering force and will be in command in the course of time. I see how Qin and Qing dynasties in different time era in China got perished in self-destruction in the mandate.

看到刘利民跑到西马半岛去争取独中教育的定位是自我矮化的行为。砂拉越本身就是一个国家。他跟西马半岛国地位是对等。我就是不明白，他干嘛一定要马来半岛国去要求他们认定独中地位。这其不是我们自己砂拉越的立场都莫名其妙送给马来亚半岛了吗。独中在砂拉越被承认，还不够吗？傻瓜！

砂沙子民这52年被UMNO-BN政党和朋党恨恨洗脑，所以才会如此摆出的都是这么奴才相。我们跟马来亚本岛是伙伴关系。绝对不是中央和州的关系。马来亚国是半岛11州所组成。砂拉越独中办学拨款是去找砂拉越政府，马来亚半岛的独中交给半岛人吧。沙巴的交给沙巴。各自为政和合作。

是时候要拿回砂拉越教育权。不是老是把砂拉越的自主权全部主动的交给UMNO-BN政混们。我们砂拉越的领袖们，醒醒啊。识相点。不要为了利益什么都可以出卖。跟马来半岛任何交易，一定要有砂国为主的立场。不是摆出各种奴才相。敢敢的拒绝霸权的中掠夺和剥削。砂拉越和沙巴人一直允许UMNO-BN违宪。

其实BN时下的政府根本就是违宪的政府。回到MA63立国合约，马来西亚是3国联邦。马来亚国选根本不应该包括我们砂沙两国。这是乱78糟做法。DAP和PKR或希联最好搞清楚砂拉越和沙巴和马来亚本岛在马来西亚MA63 契约的关系。

Federation of Malaysia 1963 does not exist’

FMT Staff

| February 18, 2014

Separation, not Pakatan Rakyat, is the answer for Sabah, Sarawak woes within the federation, says activist Daniel John Jambun

KOTA KINABALU: The opposition’s stand that it is better for Sabah and Sarawak to vote BN out rather than secede from the federation is purile, claims activist Daniel John Jambun.

“The people of Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya have long lost their sovereignty to an apartheid-style set up in Putrajaya.
“As in Thailand, it’s not possible to change the government through the electoral system because of this loss of sovereignty.

“What exists is the Federation of Malaya 1957 masquerading as the Federation of Malaysia 1963,” said Jambun.

Jambun pointed out that Article 1 of the Federal Constitution stated that the Federation will be known in Malay and English as Malaysia.
Article 160 of the Federal Constitution however defines Federation as that set up by the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957.

“Article 2 further states that Sabah and Sarawak are the 12th and 13th states in the Federation.

“The first 11 states are the States of Malaya. So, it cannot be suddenly said that Sabah and Sarawak are the 12th and 13th states in Malaysia.

“This means the Federation of Malaysia 1963 does not exist,” he said.

No referendums
Jambun was responding to comments from both constitutional lawyer Aziz Bari and Monash university professor James Chin.

He said while Aziz was barking up the wrong tree on Sabah and Sarawak re-thinking the idea of Malaysia after 50 years, Chin was also wrong to label separation attempts in Borneo as treason.

“When the two Borneo nations were dragged into the Federation with Malaya, the Conference of Rulers, the Sultans and the states in Malaya were not consulted.

“Why must Sabah, Sarawak go through the Conference of Rulers now that they want to stand on their own two feet?” he asked adding that no referendum was called before the Malayans and British dragged Borneo into the Federation.

He cited principles in the Western Sahara Case Advisory Opinion ICJ Reports (1975) 12 which supported Sabah and Sarawak going their own way.

He said the principles include (a) a unique cultural or ethic group; (b) a defined geographic area; (c) the will to emerge as a free state; (d) the will to self-determine governance independently; (e) attempts to assert the aforesaid wills.

“A reading of this case is a good start as well as the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Territories and Peoples, General Assembly Resolution (XV) of December 14, 1960 GAOR, 15th Sess, Supp 16 at p 66.

“Whether it’s easy or otherwise for Sabah and Sarawak to leave the Federation is beside the point.

“We have to consider the exact nature and actual circumstances surrounding the British departure from Sabah and Sarawak in the wake of the independence of these two countries on 31 Aug, 1963 and 22 July, 1963 respectively,” he said in a statement here.

Pre-meditated move
Jambun went on to add that the disturbing contents of declassified British colonial documents made it clear that the British were convinced that Malaya would colonize Sabah and Sarawak after their departure.

“These revelations and facts clearly demonstrate that the UK Government abandoned Sabah and Sarawak, inadvertently or otherwise, to Malayan colonialism on or before 16 Sept, 1963.

“The British disguised it as a coming together of parts of the empire in the wake of decolonization although they knew Malaya would colonize Sabah and Sarawak after they left,” he said.

Jambun in actuality the strategy was the Singapore and Malaya getting together in the wake of the occupation of Sabah and Sarawak by the latter to “facilitate” the Singapore-Malaya merger.

“Malaya ostensibly would not ‘agree’ to the merger unless Sabah and Sarawak were part of the 1963 Federation to offset the large Chinese population in Singapore.

“After Malaya got Sabah and Sarawak, it kicked out Singapore from the Federation two years later.

“But the Borneo nations were not allowed to leave.. why? he asked.
According to Jambun it was clear that then prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman had used the 1963 Singapore-Malaysia merger as an excuse to get Sabah and Sarawak in as colonies.

“Having got his hands on the two Borneo Nations, he lost no time within two years to kick out Singapore to pave the way for apartheid a’la ketuanan Melayu.

“Why (else) did the British force the Rajah of Sarawak to cede his kingdom to the colonial office in London and “buy” Sabah for 1.2 million sterling pounds from the British North Borneo Company.

“Both were done in the wake of World War II, if not to unwittingly or otherwise myopically facilitate Malayan colonization in shouldering the defence burden in the interests of Britain’s commercial empire in Borneo.

“The no compliance on the Malaysia Agreement (by Putrajaya) stemmed from the fact that there was no proper decolonization in Borneo and that Malaysia at the time was not properly set up by the British Government in particular and the UN in general,” he said.

Malayan Independence

The history of British involvement in Malaya goes back to 1786, when the East India Company established a trading post on Penang Island. Sir Stamford Raffles founded a British settlement on the island of Singapore in 1819 and by 1830 the British Straits Settlements also included Malacca. From the 1870s the sultans of the small Malay states began accepting British ‘advisers’, who were effectively rulers. In 1896 a federation of Negri Sembilan, Perak, Selangor and Pahang was established with its capital at Kuala Lumpur. Heavy immigration from China and India was encouraged to supply labour for British rubber plantations and tin mines.

Invading from the north, the Japanese rapidly overran Malaya and took Singapore in 1942. After the war, in 1948, a Federation of Malaya was created under British protection, but British and Commonwealth troops had to put down a Communist insurrection, which lasted into the early 1950s. It was by now agreed that Malayan independence was the answer to the Communist claim that they were fighting to free the Malayan people from the British yoke. An election in 1955 was won hands-down by the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) by running Malay candidates in Malay-dominated areas, Chinese candidates in Chinese areas and Indian candidates in Indian ones. The UMNO’s leader Tunku Abdul Rahman became prime minister when the independent Federation of Malaya came into being in 1957.

At a ceremony in the new Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, Abdul Rahman proclaimed Malaya as ‘a sovereign, democratic and independent State founded on the principles of liberty and justice, and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people and the maintenance of a just peace among all nations.’ He went on to say that Malaya had been ‘blessed with a good administration forged and tempered to perfection by by successive British administrators’ and called for Britain’s legacy not to be forgotten or spoiled in the future. A message from the Queen welcomed Malaya to the Commonwealth and numerous Commonwealth premiers sent goodwill wishes. The Union Jack was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted in its place, while elsewhere in the country there were fireworks, bonfires, dances and concerts.

The federation was renamed Malaysia in 1963, when besides Singapore and all the Malay states it also included two areas in North Borneo – Sarawak and Sabah. Singapore opted out and went its own way in 1965.

My comments:

The Federation of Malaysia is made up of the Federation of Malaya, Sarawak and Sabah. So, Najib is the prime minster of the Federation of Malaya. To position himself as the PM of Malaysia is very much against the constitution of the Federation of Malaysia. The acts of supremacy over Sarawak and Sabah, "auch!!!!" are the shameless behaviour of the autocrat. The UMNO and Najib know no shame.

I hope more and more Sarawakians and Sabahans are aware of our position and relationship in the Federation of Malaysia. The 11 states in Peninsula Malaya are in an entity of the Federation of Malaya. Non of the states can claim to be in the Federation of Malaysia, can you? Prove me wrong. For Sarawak and Sabah, we can opt out the Federation of Malaysia. But if any state in Peninsula Malaysia, if you want to opt out , you are opting out form the Federation of Malaya, not Malaysia. Prove me if you can. Facts stand out to all forms of argument. (事实胜于强辩)。

History was not the subject I liked. But now I must try my very best to find out the history of Malaya Peninsula and the Federation of Malaysia to ensure that there is no mixed up hoping to undo the messed up by the UMNO political thugs on purpose.

The Federation of Malaya

The Federation of Malaya

The Federation of Malaya, which comprised the nine Malay states and the Straits Settlements of Penang and Malacca, was inaugurated on 1 February 1948 to replace the Malayan Union.^[1] The exclusion of Singapore, which remained a separate crown colony, was the sole feature of the Malayan Union that was retained in the new federation.^[2]

Officially formed on 1 April 1946, the Malayan Union was the outcome of British efforts to improve administrative efficiency through the creation of a unitary state as the first step towards the eventual self-government of Malaya.^[3] However, the Malayan Union scheme, which entailed the surrender of Malay sovereignty over the Malay states and the extension of common citizenship to immigrant communities, was viewed as a severe blow to Malay political standing.^[4] Widespread Malay opposition to the scheme prompted the British to pursue confidential consultations with representatives of the newly formed United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and the Malay rulers.^[5]

The decision to replace the Malayan Union with a federation was made by the British Colonial Office in July 1946, and an Anglo-Malay Working Committee was convened to draw up the details.^[6] The working committee proposed a federation of the peninsular states and settlements, with increased safeguards for the special position of the Malays and the sovereignty of the Malay rulers, as well as more restrictive citizenship requirements.^[7]

In Singapore, groups opposing the federation scheme formed a united front, the Council of Joint Action (CJA), which later expanded into the Pan-Malayan Council of Joint Action (PMCJA), in December 1946.^[8] The PMCJA called for the inclusion of Singapore within a united Malaya, responsible self-government with a fully-elected legislature, as well as equal citizenship rights for all who had made Malaya their permanent home and the object of their undivided loyalty.^[9] Between 1947 and early 1948, the PMCJA partnered the Pusat Tenaga Rakyat (PUTERA), which was a coalition of Malay organisations, to mount an anti-federation campaign that culminated in an economic strike or hartal in October 1947.^[10] The coalition fell apart shortly after the formation of the Federation of Malaya in February 1948.^[11]The separation of Singapore from the Malayan peninsula marked an important milestone in the political development of the island until 1963 when it merged for a brief period with the Federation of Malaya to form the Federation of Malaysia.^[12]References1.
