My comments on:  Flying old colonial flag or Malayan flag

(‘Unpatriotic’ to fly Sarawak’s old colonial flag, says Abdul Karim - Borneo Post Online)

This idiot has lost his touch of reality and plays blind and innocent to the truth of the formation of Malaysia which is actually Malaya in disguise.  The Agreement MA63 is considered void and null from the very beginning.  We were arranged by the British power to federate with Malaya.  The Malayan leaders at that time did not apply for a new nation with the joining of Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore.  But Malaya just changed the name to Malaysia in the make-believe that a new country was born.

        I wonder if he has the knowledge of the chagos Island which has been claimed back by Mauritius after a trial at the International Court of Justice.  Sarawak and Sabah which are in the same boat as the Chagos Island are elgible to self-determination to become a sovereign country.

        Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah pretends that he does not know that Malayan government in actual fact is the colonialist, imperialist and dominator.  They have tried all ways to plunder, exploit, oppress, suppress, rob and bully Sarawak.  He has been one of the beneficiaries in the federation of Malaysia/Malaya as they all belong to the political consortium enjoying all the benefits at the expense of Sarawakians.

        He has no sense of Sarawak for Sarawakians.  He has been so submissive to the colonial masters.  I have seen him rise to high official positions being eloquent in protecting the rights as his political consortium.   He is eloquent and very eloquent from this article we have seen how he partially argued his points of patriotism and unpatriotism based on his self-interested view.

        Comparing the formation of Malaysia/Malaya to the formation of the United States is like making a camparision of a triangle to a square.  It is out of context.  First the United States is made up of the states on the same piece of landmass.  Look at us – Sarawak is 14,370 kilometres away from Peninsular Malaya and we were arranged by crook or by hook by the British power which actually had to decolonise us based on the United Nations decolonisation resolution passed in 1960.  But the British government did it on the contrary and hence MA63 is a controversial treaty in every sense. 

I wonder why ….Abdul Karim has not the least sense of this treaty of  being illegal.  He is ever-ready to lick shoes of the colonial masters in order to please them for his own hidden agenda.  He is so disgusting and traitor-minded.  In other words, he is so Malaya-centric, minded and oriented to be fitted as a Sarawakian.  What a shame.  How can we Sarawakians trust this kind of political thugs to take charge of Sarawak affairs?  He is so patriotic to Malaya that he has lost his patriotism to Sarawak.  Who is he here in Sarawak?

‘Unpatriotic’ to fly Sarawak’s old colonial flag, says Abdul Karim - Borneo Post Online

---

Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah

SAMARAHAN (Sept 2): Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has criticised Sarawakians who fly the state’s old colonial flag, branding them as unpatriotic.

“When I go for a drive around Padungan I see a lot of shop houses flying those old colonial flags. They don’t have a sense of patriotism. Maybe they thought that we are still in colonial times.

“Im sorry, but I think they are not appreciative of the independence that we have gained now,” he said, referring to a busy street in Kuching.

Abdul Karim said this at the closing of the Samarahan District Merdeka@Komuniti programme here this afternoon which was organised by the Information Department.

Sarawak was under the rule of the White Rajah from 1848 until it was ceded to the British government in 1946. It gained self-rule on July 22, 1963, a few months before the formation of Malaysia that same year.

Abdul Karim said Sarawakians, including political leaders, should respect and accept August 31 as a symbolic day of independence for Malaysia including Sarawak.

He said although historically Sarawak only joined Malaysia on September 16, it had been agreed upon by Sarawak leaders during that time that August 31 is the independence day of Malaysia as a whole.

“This should not have been an issue in the first place. I know certain leaders in the state also made an issue out of this.

“August 31 is a symbolic date that should be accepted as Malaysia’s independence day, and for the unity of Malaysians,” Abdul Karim said.

He brought up the United States of America (USA) as an example, which celebrated July 4 as their independence day.

He said the USA has 50 states now, but when it gained independence on July 4, 1776, USA only had less than 10 states.

Abdul Karim, who is Asajaya assemblyman, said after two to three years, more states started joining the USA, and now it has 50 states, all united and together celebrating July 4 as their independence day.

“If we look at it based on the Sarawak issue, the USA should be celebrating 50 different independence day dates. But that is not the case because July 4 is a symbolic date accepted by all Americans,” he said.

Also present were Kota Samarahan MP Rubiah Wang, Stakan assemblyman Dato Sri Mohammad Ali Mahmud and Information Department Sarawak director Suwadi Guliling.

‘Peninsula folk should mark July 22 in same way S’wakians mark Aug 31’

 

‘Peninsula folk should mark July 22 in same way S’wakians mark Aug 31’ 

The Borneo Post                 1 Sep 2020 

KUCHING: Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing expressed hope that Peninsular Malaysians would mark Sarawak Independence Day in the same spirit that Sarawakians celebrate the independence of their peninsula kin.

“We, in Sarawak, celebrate Malaya’s happiness as a friend would celebrate a close friend’s birthday and happiness.  It’s my hope that when July 22 arrives, Malaya would reciprocate the same warmth and feelings for Sarawak. Friendship and understanding are a two-way traffic,” he said in a statement issued yesterday in conjunction with National Day.

Masing said that both Sarawak and Sabah share the pride of Peninsular Malaysia gaining her independence from the British in 1957 and being able to stand on her own two feet.

“I wish Malaya a Happy 63rd Hari Merdeka,” he added.

My comments:

😀  Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing is the only one from BN-GPS who has some sense of patriotism towards Sarawak.  Unlike Chief Minister Abang Johari who is so insensible that he takes the domination colonisation and imperialism of the Malayan government as a blessing to Sarawak.  He insists that Sarawak should be in the federation of Malaysia (Malaya in disguise) forever, not knowing that 90% of Sarawakians want Sarawak to be independent and free.  

I wonder how he can manage without the support of the mass.  Many times he has declared openly his intention to stay in the federation acting against the will of Sarawakians in general.  He is too complacent with his position as the chief minister of Sarawak which is open to the contest.  Will he still be able to hold the office of chief minister of Sarawak after PRN12?  I wonder!

Mycomments on Hanifah: Final Report will not be debated in parliament or made public

 

Mycomments on Hanifah: Final Report will not be debated in parliament or made public – Borneo Post online   August 11^th, 2020   

I wonder why the Special Cabinet Committee of MA63 wants to make the final report of their discussion so secretive and sensitive when the legality of MA63 is widely believed to be void and null.  Is it the reason for rejecting it to be debated and made public for fear of wide exposure to the scrutiny of the whole wide world? 

The legality and controversy of MA63 has been widely discussed in various quarters  and open to all for discussion.  Refusing to make public the final report of the Special Cabinet Committee of MA63 only invites speculation of negotiation of the big guns for self-interest and benefits at the expense of Sarawakians and Sabahans in general.  For the past 57 years, it has been the norm practice.  We all have borne witness how the BN-led Sarawak and Sabah governments practised the government by and of the people but not for the people.  

        Hanifah Hajar Taib represents nothing but the Taib family and his fellow accomplices to plunder, exploit, oppress, suppress, rob and bully Sarawakians.  Sarawakians have been impoverished by Taib Mahmud and his cronies who colluded with the colonial masters.  The evil practices that he created during his tenure as chief minister of Sarawak from 1981 to 2013 are still prevailing in Sarawak.  He is well-marked by his evil deeds being an extremely greedy, selfish, self-interested, egoistic, nepotistic, abusive, corrupt and devilish person. 

        The Sarawak BN-GPS government should declare Sarawak independence unilaterally, not indulge themselves in the make-believes that MA63 is legal and fool-play Sarawakians with the help of so-called federal government.  Enough is enough.  No one on earth in his right mind will cling to illegal agreement like the BN-GPS government. 

Abang Johari only makes a fool of himself being so submissive to the colonial masters and imperialists.  What is Abang Johari after all if Sarawakians see him a trash to be discarded?  Sarawak belongs to Sarawakians not the BN-GPS government which has impovished every aspect of Sarawak ranging from the infrastructure like the proper road system, public transport, quality medical services,  good quality of education system, job opportunities, water and electricity, telecommunication system and the like. 

Facing the dire conditions of Sarawak, like TaibMahmud, he has created dreams for Sarawakians to be fulfilled in the future.  He told Sarawakians that Sarawak would become the most developed “state”  in Malaysia (Malaya in disguise).  Who on earth in the age of internet still takes his words blindly without any research on the related literature on the tendency of this kind of political thugs?   The more incapable a leader is, the more indulgent he is in creating “future dreams” to be fulfilled. 

If we allowed BN-GPS government to lead Sarawak beyond the 12^th Sarawak election, we would be dragged into the maelstrom or mire of suffering and torture.   Be prepared to discard this abusive, corrupt, incapable  and weak government for good.

何俐萍.一道筑在东西马之间的高墙    2020-08-15 07:50:00  绵里藏心

迈入8月，内心总有一股无可奈何的情绪在翻腾。无他，年年8月无可避免又陷入国庆日和独立年份之争，即使政府已把国庆从8月横跨到9月，干脆在一个月内连庆两个历史上都各具意义的日子，都平息不了纷争。

曾几何时，“马来亚”成了西马的替代名字，虽然它确实是西马的前称，但毕竟这已是过去式了。当旁人左一句“马来亚”右一声“马来亚”，很坦率地说，我是听在耳里，觉得刺耳，内心泛起疙瘩。今日的局面是政客当初典当人民的委托所造成，但半个多世纪以来的剥削，最不该赔上的是两地人民的情谊。

因为政治意识形态愈加明显的不同，在两地之间已筑起一道虽然看不见也摸不着的高墙，而这面墙有趋向愈砌愈高的迹象。

但政治就像是双面刀，因为利益的考量，它让政客不得不在必要关头，把人民的感受放在心里。所有关系主权的释回，若不是基于利益使然，也若不是民间力量汇聚成雪球翻滚的效应，来自砂拉越的声音，恐怕只是如蚊子般嗡嗡作响。也同样因为民间的施压，促使一部分砂人走向必须争取以砂拉越为优先，强调地方主义至上，甚至是以独立为诉求。

地方主义没有对或错可言，独立自主也可以是人人追求的梦想，更不能被视为是不可饶恕之罪。民主意识的抬头，有太多实例已印证愈是采取高压的抑制手段，效果往往是适得其反，反弹愈是更大。当政者非但不能无视，反而必须适时、适地作出体面的回应，而且不能是言语上的敷衍，必须用行动作为回应和反馈。国油公司最近同意归还积欠砂拉越超过20亿的石油销售税就是政治干预带来的成果。

“这一次州选举我们要聚焦的是主权，不是谈民生……”、“我们必须努力去做，更要影响我们的下一代……”，和我说这番话的人是落力推动砂独者。这番话让我顿时有所思，主权是州选举的主旋律，捍卫本土权益是砂人都应共同促成的一份责任，但不管是高呼必须要回砂拉越的参组地位，或是疾呼砂拉越人必须省思是要继续过着权益被剥夺的生活还是要勇敢为后代辟一条独立自主之路，该捍卫和守护的还包括普遍砂拉越人憨厚、爱和平，从不以激进极端的手段争取的特质。

多年前，行动党默许仅仅是一个普通党员以毒舌文化涂毒这片土地时，我清楚记得很多砂拉越人是满腔愤怒，甚至是厉声批判行动党不该放纵，任由丘某人以污言秽言污染砂拉越。但今天，叫我惶恐和不安的是，砂拉越也有一群人是挟本土情意结，走的是偏执和狭隘的思维之路，把拒绝马来亚的一切当成是铁律，这难道也是我们所要“传承”给下一代？

今天，我们要争辩的已不再是国家究竟是独立57年还是63年，我们要思考，甚至警戒的是，国家面对的挑战早已不再具限于种族和宗教问题，而是扩大到区域之分，甚至是在鼓吹排外的思维。

我们要教育下一代，不管未来如何改变，此刻你我他都是共筑马来西亚的一分子，也必须明白，强调事事以砂拉越为优先是一种醒觉教育，唯教育绝不应该是在人民的心亩撒播仇恨的种子。

Mycomments:

我不知道何时开始“马来亚”这称呼会变成很刺耳的呼号。这怎么一回事呢？ 马来亚这国名是否已经累积太多太多太多负面的代名词呢？ 马来西亚是马来亚联邦的伪装。据说马来亚，新加坡，砂拉越和沙巴四国联邦。马来亚政府打从开始就抱着拼吞新砂沙三邦国的野心。新加坡无法认同马来亚政府的霸道，很庆辛的，就跟马来亚脱离关系。从此砂沙两邦国，被无限掠夺和打压，就。。。。沦落到今天的地步。

        今天，还有多少%砂人不认为马来亚化名名马来西亚不是殖民霸权呢？ 他们用各种方式洗脑砂沙两邦国人把马来亚当‘祖国’来对待。我们被狠狠掠夺，剥削，打压，抢劫和霸凌到今天。

有至少30%的人，以我个人观察已经完全马来西亚化，把侵略者当自家人看待。 完全没有砂拉越当成是国来爱戴，不管砂国跟马来亚有多少岁月的关系，那能接受他国霸占咱们国家而都无所谓呢。有人听到砂拉越独立这事儿很不是味道。认为这种关系马来亚和砂拉越—联邦和“州“最好要维持下去。

        马来西亚本来就是个‘怪胎’。 马来西亚/马来亚本来就地理，文化风俗。。。非自然的联合。  马来亚和砂沙筑有一道很高的墙没有什么奇怪。这57年被掠夺，剥削，打压和霸凌才是砂沙人心头恨和愤怒。 两地之间相隔1437 公里用非常手段硬凑在一起的，是时候来个了断了吧！

        砂拉越宣布独立对星洲日报可能会带来一定的影响。这家砂拉越报纸已经办得很马来亚化了，在马来亚发光发热，也很马来亚为中心和重心。

        对砂被殖民57年累积的愤怒转化成偏执和有人看起来很狭隘的思维是可以理解的。我不认为会流传到后代呢。 砂拉越独立了，一切摆平了，偏执和狭隘都主动化解了。 对排斥侵略者的代表本来就是人性，何必小题大做呢？ 我说当砂国获得独立后，一切自然就摆平了。游客带来国家的收入，那来的排外呢？ 

        对不起，天底下那一个殖民地可以跟殖民宗主国共筑国家。或者那一殖民宗主国真的有心 发展殖民地。砂沙两国今天的状况是谁造成的？ 大家都是马来西亚/马来亚一份子，砂沙两国还要要求继续共筑宗主国家，认贼做父吗？  砂人还能不愤怒吗?   心中很恨的表达被看成偏执和狭隘，那就要看谁做诠释了。
