PBK President being interviewed again on 5/5/22

PBK PRESIDENT VOON LEE SHAN INTERVIEWED AGAIN FOR FACEBOOK STATEMENT

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?

Sarawak struggle for independence

SARAWAK'S STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE

(From an internet posting 05/05/2022)

A LITTLE KNOWN AND WELL-HIDDEN BRITISH COLONIAL ARRANGEMENT IN S. E ASIA 

(A comment made in relation to colonial crimes of Great Britain)  

One of the forgotten British imperialist crimes was the bloody annexation of Sabah & Sarawak into the Malayan Federation renamed "Malaysia" on 16 Sept 1963.

The Malaysia federation proposal was a plan to consolidate British strategic interests in S E Asia by annexing the colonies of North Borneo and Sarawak and independent Brunei with Singapore into the Malayan Federation.

The Borneo people strongly opposed this as a neo-colonial plan by the British in collusion with Malaya.

Facing a strong united opposition the British Special Branch instigated an uprising in Brunei (on 8 Dec 1962) whose people also strongly opposed Malaysia. This immediately aborted the independence movement's plan to go to the UN to seek support for independence as the Brunei People's Party leading the delegation was made illegal and "banned". The uprising was also used as propaganda against the opposition to promote Malaysia and inflicted a culture of fear on the people that has lasted till today.

Under the pretext of suppressing the "rebellion", mass arrests and detention took place in Sarawak of over 6,000 to 10,000 "suspected communists".

The suppression drove many into Southern Kalimantan Indonesia where they formed armed resistance guerilla forces and fought the British (till 1970) and Malayan occupation army till 1990. Many of those arrested were detained for over 20 years without ever being tried in an open court - but the world does not know about these cases. This was British justice.

The guerilla war was a silent war as the British and Malayan governments kept tight control over the news of the independence war from the outside world because the British and allies did not want their dirty deeds of yet another re-drawing of the colonial map to be publicised. 

To secure Malaysia for Malaya the UK had to deploy some 50,000 air sea and land forces including Australian and New Zealand, armed forces to suppress the independence fighters. They did not finish their unsavoury assignment till 1970. The Five Powers Defence Arrangement was set up in 1971 and this has been maintained till today showing the importance of the 

area to the western imperial alliance. 

They boast that this was their most successful decolonisation since most of their other neo-colonial creations in Africa and the Caribbean had failed. But the other side is a lie they spread that Malaysia was peacefully created and approved by the Borneo people. 

To maintain their foreign-imposed rule of Sabah and Sarawak the Malayan regime had to use "emergency laws" and repressive laws of arrest and detention from 1963 to 2012 to suppress and control the people under a state of fear from openly opposing their colonial rule.

The people's grave fears of re-colonisation have become true as the resource-rich Borneo territories have been the best gift Malaya could get from Britain and exploitation and expropriation of their petroleum resources have developed Malaya and enriched their elites. The 2 countries have been kept backward and undeveloped as they were before 1963 and in fact, reduced to being vassals or dependencies with limited self-government. 

In recent years, the younger generation awakening to the reality of their respective countries' colonial status, has become active in campaigning to seek independence by peaceful means.

Last December a group of 12 Sarawkians filed a legal suit in the Kuching High Court against the British Malayan and local puppet Sarawak governments seeking declarations to invalidate the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and declarations that Sarawak has the right to exit from the Malaysia federation.

 

Manyin: 8,829 teachers in Sarawak teach subjects they were not trained in

BY CHURCHILL EDWARD ON JUNE 30, 2021, WEDNESDAY AT 6:04 PM

KUCHING (June 30): The state Education Department has identified 8,829 non-option teachers across Sarawak, said Education, Science and Technological Research Minister Datuk Michael Manyin Jawong.

The non-option teachers are teaching Science (2,995), Mathematics (3,992), and English (1,842).

Manyin explained that a non-option teacher is one who is, for example, trained to teach Bahasa Melayu but asked to teach Mathematics or Science due to the unavailability of Mathematics or Science teachers in that school.

“Currently we are addressing this issue with the RM6 million allocation given by the state for re-skilling and upskilling of these non-option teachers,” he said in a statement today.

Manyin said the initiative conducted with the Education Department and local teacher education institutes (IPGM) is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

On Sarawak’s 90:10 policy for teachers, where 90 per cent of teachers in the state must be Sarawakian, he said it seeks to address the high turnover of teachers, especially in rural schools.

He pointed out that many teachers, especially non-Sarawakians, found it hard to adjust to rural life in the state.

Manyin said Sarawak still maintained 10 per cent non-Sarawakian teachers to have a mix.

“This will give teachers from other states the opportunity to come to Sarawak, understand our cultures and customs better, and subsequently strengthen integration in our country,” he said.

“It will also allow our students the opportunity to be taught by experienced teachers from the other states. At the same time, we also need to expose our Sarawakian teachers to teach in other states in order to gain more experience both in teaching and cultural understanding outside Sarawak and become more efficient

As of April 2021, Sarawak was short of 3,385 teachers — 1,545 in secondary schools and 1,840 in primary schools.

Manyin said his ministry, established in May 2017, seeks to assist and complement the Ministry of Education (MoE) in addressing education issues in Sarawak by working closely with the Education Department and other related agencies.

Since its inception, his ministry and the department had looked at the overall performance trend of Sarawak’s students in public examinations, which was found to be unsatisfactory.

He said the most glaring factor was the poor physical condition of schools, where 1,020 were categorised as dilapidated and from which 415 were critically dilapidated.

The other factors were high turnover of teachers, especially in rural schools, and mismatch of subject options.

In addressing dilapidated schools, Manyin said RM1 billion had been allocated for this in contra with Sarawak’s soft loan from the federal government.

A total 148 schools covered under this initiative are currently under various stages of implementation.

In addition, the Sarawak government has already repaired 66 rural schools under the Rural Transformation Initiative (RTI) at a cost of RM21 million.

Under Projek Rakyat (People’s Project), four schools are being improved — SK Ulu Segan (RM28.5 million), SK Maludam (RM35.765 million), SK Merpati Jepang (RM12,75 million), and SK Kampung Penasu, Daro (RM35 million).

Sarawak also approved RM3 million for the construction of a new Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI) block at SMK Matang.

Manyin added Sarawak has also approved an allocation of RM160 million for the repairs and upgrading of 60 dilapidated schools in the northern region.

     

 

My comments:

This BN-GPS government has been in power for far too long to resolve the issue of teachers shortage and irrelevant assignments to teachers to teach the subjects they have not much ideas.  When the so-called federal government has failed to deliver their work properly, the Sarawak government has not been able to get back our sovereign rights as a nation in the federation, isn’t it the time for Sarawakians to change the poor and lousy government for a better and more dynamic one all for the good of Sarawakians?

 

Alamak!  What a curse!  What a pity!  What a shame!   To hear that the BN-GPS government has to pay out again and again from our own coffer to retrain our teachers when the so-called federal education department has failed again and again to deliver the task properly, are you as Sarawakians determined to flush out this government for good?

 

Please calculate for me to find out how much the taxpayers’ money (sweat and blood) this corrupt and indulgent government has squandered  light-heartedly and how much has been pocketed by these corrupt political thugs.

 

When soooooooo---- much money in terms of our natural resources and taxes in different categories have been taken by the Malaya colonial masters and imperialists,  it is disgusting and exasperating beyond words to say that we still need to pay for extra education expenses to upgrade our schools and upskill our teachers. 

 

Sarawak short of 3,385 teachers as of April this year – Manyin

BY CHURCHILL EDWARD ON JULY 1, 2021, THURSDAY AT 7:02 AMSARAWAK

Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong

KUCHING (July 1): As of April this year, Sarawak faced a shortage of 3,385 teachers – 1,545 in secondary schools and 1,840 in primary schools, Minister of Education, Science and Technological Research Datuk Amar Michael Manyin Jawong has disclosed.

 To address this issue, his ministry is working closely with State Education Department (JPNS) to engage with Teachers Training Institutes (IPGs) in the state to come up with the proposal of employing interested graduates as temporary teachers, he said in a press statement themed ‘Sarawak should produce own teachers to overcome shortage’ yesterday.

He was reacting to a statement made by Senator Jaziri Alkaf Abdillah Suffian, who is the Sarawak Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) chief, which was published on June 21 in the Malay Mail Online and also the statement by Democratic Action Party (DAP) Long Lama branch chairman Marcus Hugo Matu Lejau published on June 21 in the Borneo Post Online.

The recruitment of these temporary teachers must go through qualifying test (psychometric test) and interview conducted by JPNS and IPGs, Manyin said.

Those who passed and are selected will be required to undergo six months of practical teaching in schools during which they will be assessed by IPG lecturers and the schools.

Those who are found to be suitable, really interested in teaching, passionate, committed and with the correct aptitude will be recommended and offered to do Diploma in Education at an IPG for a period of one and half year on a part-time basis while teaching.

Upon completion of this course, those who fulfil all the requirements will be awarded Diploma in Education which will qualify them to be appointed as DG41 trained teachers, both in secondary and primary schools, he added.

 If this proposal is accepted by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Manyin said the state authorities are confident in resolving the issue of shortage of teachers throughout Sarawak within the next three years.

“We had discussed this proposal a few times with officers from MOE since 2019 and also with the Senior Minister of Education in April 2021. In addition, we had also made a follow-up through letter dated April 14, 2021 to the Senior Minister of Education, and a similar proposal was sent to YAB Prime Minister through a letter signed by YAB Chief Minister dated May 6, 2021.

“Even though we have not received an official reply from MOE, the fact is that, one of the strategies or approaches taken by MOE as announced by the Senior Minister recently is very similar with our proposal,” he said.

 Apart from addressing all the issues, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Research also introduced programmes like leadership course for school leaders attended by 1,265 headmasters, and 1,265 senior assistants, which cost the state government about RM2.5 million; various refresher courses for teachers at a cost of about RM1 million; Sarawak English Language Education symposiums (Seles) for northern, central and southern regions attended by about 2,500 participants at a cost of RM2.5 million; teaching of science and mathematics in English in all public primary schools starting from Primary 1 in 2020 incurring a cost of RM11 million; and provision of teaching and learning materials to schools at the cost of RM5.8 million.

Others include the connection of electricity supply to 125 rural schools with an allocation of RM50 million (currently under various stages of implementation); connection of treated water supply to 41 rural schools with an allocation of RM9 million, of which 35 have been completed thus far; and provision of computers (Raspberry Pie) for all primary schools throughout Sarawak at the cost of RM12 million, he said.

“Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this project (provision of computers – Raspberry Pie) is slightly delayed. We are targeting to complete the project before end of 2021.

 “We are fully aware of all the issues and problems pertaining to education in Sarawak. Our minister is not new to these issues, as he has been a teacher and school principal for 25 years before entering politics. He was also once on the interview panel for Teachers Training Colleges’ intake in Sarawak in 1975 and 1983. Thus, he knows very well the ins and outs of education issues.

“As suggested by the Senator, we can produce our own teachers provided that we are given the authority and better still given full autonomy over education. Therefore, we would like to urge the Senator to convey to his colleagues at the federal level the aspirations of Sarawakians to have authority in education.

“If the Senator and DAP Long Lama chairman have any more better proposals or ideas with regard to education in Sarawak, they are most welcome to discuss with us instead of going to the media without genuine fact,” the statement pointed out.

    This is obvious that this 59-year-old BN-GPS government has no ability to deliver their duty as far as education for Sarawak is concerned.  They have been in power for too long.    

It is the Malaya government, the colonial masters are doing thisis to force this puppet-like-GPS government to submission on purpose 

to break the ratio 90% Sarawakians: 10 Malaya teachers by ex-CM Adnan Satem.   

 Do you still want to keep this government which is so corrupt and ever-ready 

to collude with the colonial masters for their self-interest and posts?  Alamak! 

 What a curse!  What a pity! What a shame!
