到底谁在‘卖砂’?

以事论事,事实求是---到底谁在‘卖砂’?

谁在马联邦体系内,谁都在卖砂。马联邦的整个体系模型模式就是想尽办法殖民砂拉越。

自马联邦开端以来,他们就采取各种殖民手段。

他们以马联邦的名义掠夺,剥削,打压,抢劫,霸凌和殖民砂拉越。从来一点都不放松。1966年大陆架法令就是马霸权殖民的进行曲。

1974年,人联党加入砂国阵。砂国阵就是在联邦国阵大阵营内,以英国西敏式的操作:少数服从多数,否则就要面对党鞭。这就是陷阱。

1966年,砂发生宪法危机,马联邦就乘虚而入干预砂内政。第一任首长宁甘是被马的Tunku和砂的Taib Mahmud 和TunHaji Open推翻拉下台的。

即使,砂爱国义士群起反对抵抗不了英殖民者和马来亚狼豺虎豹的摧残下,失败告终。

1974年,石油发展法令和2012年领海法令都是至砂于死地。

2018年改朝换代后,砂火箭队所作所为也都是砂国阵当时走的同一套路。

请问邱先生,砂火箭队和当年砂国阵有差别吗?

今天砂政盟,一面谈自主权,一面接受殖民。砂天然气100%属砂,却自愿分49%股份给Petronas。怎么一回事?

Allocation for religion in Sarawak

PRESS STATEMENT
Re: Allocations for religions in Sarawak

See The Star, Wednesday 20 December, 2023

Sarawak funding for religion should stop unless there is transparency and fairness over the matter. Over the years since Unit for Other Religions (UNIFOR) had been set-up, the Sarawak government under GPS had annual allocations to other religions. People of other religions, especially, the Buddhists or Christians seemed happy about it and for 2024 Premier had announced that he had allocated RM110 million for Sarawak’s Unit for Other Religions. 

Deputy Premier, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah had disclosed that since 2017 the government had approved total allocations of RM341.8 million for various house of worship. 

Over the years, the GPS government was telling about allocations to UNIFOR but how about allocations to Islam or for the propagation of Islam? Was Islam not funded? If not funded, then this is against fairness and a discrimination against the muslims. If been funded, the GPS government is to disclose to the public how much allocations been given to Islam.

If been funded, it is here that I demand transparency and fairness from the GPS government to disclose how much had been allocated to religion of Islam since 2017. I demand transparency and fairness over this matter because the muslims may not feel happy if allocations were only meant for prayer houses under UNIFOR. Non-transparency and fairness in allocations of funds can create racial and religious tensions between the muslims and non-muslims in the state. I hope premier takes this seriously for the peace of the people of Sarawak.  

I also demand transparency in this area of allocations because taxpayers have a right to know where or how their money is spent. This is a legal demand. People should not be made to pay taxes unless they know how their money is spent. It should be legal not to pay taxes to the government when the government refused, failed or could not disclose to public where their money is spent. 

Again, such allocations, if any, to Islam or for projects for Islamic cause should not be more than that was allocated to Churches or to Christian because Christians are the majority in the state. If allocated, it should be more or less the same as received by the Buddhists because Buddhists and Muslims in Sarawak are more or less of the same numbers. If allocations for Islam are more than what Christians can get, this can also cause disharmony among the various races in the state.

Mahathir created all these

WHAT MAHATHIR SAID ABOUT THE MALAYS IS TRUE. BUT MAHATHIR IS ALSO THE MAIN REASON WHY MELAYU TO DAY ARE MUDAH LUPA. LAZY AND RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST. 

Forwarding as received. I don't know who wrote this long and brilliant piece but it hits the nail on the head.

If I am the Prime Minister of Malaysia, I'd feel ashamed.

 In this country, the Malays have it all. The bulk exporters are Malays, the wholesalers of sugar and rice are Malays, there are many Malays in international trading companies, the petrol company President/PETRONAS station operators are all Malays, the highway operators are Malays, the bread and oil flour operators are Malays, almost all the importers are Malays, and the owners AP are All Malays.

Wholesalers and importers of vegetables, food, oil and vinegar are Malays, the vast majority of those with shallow/deep sea fishing licences are Malays, the owners of the largest square metres of rice paddies are Malays, transport and long-distance excursion buses are Malays, water, electricity and gas suppliers are all Malays. And, while professing to be Muslim, even the directors of casinos/gaming companies are Malays. What level of hypocrisy.

With the exception of the coffin, toddy, car workshops and pig related industries, almost all others are 100 percent controlled and occupied by the Malays. 

If I were prime minister, I would be extremely ashamed and self-conscious.

The 2022 budget allocates 97% of funds to the Malay people, and only 3% for other talents. The people are already protesting, especially the Chinese, and they are furious!

The management of the country's largest higher education practice programme, Mara, is Malay, the management of the Pilgrimage Foundation is Malay, the malays are in charge of the provident fund, the Malays are really in charge of the MCA, the country's largest bank is Malay, the train LRT operator is Malay, the owner of mining and manufacturing plants is Malay, and many factories and engineering contractors are Malays.

They are everywhere, occupying all the political and economic fields, what else do the Malays want? Why not, for a change, develop the economy well, unite the people, bring the country into a positive track, and be a good leader? And in the past 50 years, the New Economic Policy has moulded the Malays into first-class crutched citizens, and indeed it has reached the level of ludicrousity.

Why do you still need to look up to the Chinese and other ethnic groups, Prime Minister? Repeating the same mistakes, not using means to divide the people? Is this what the government wants to see?

As the largest ethnic group in the country, after independence, it has deprived the economic, political, cultural, and religious ownership positions, and the government has been cultivating the Malays without doubt, sleeping and forgetting to eat, and meticulously cultivating the Malays for 50 years, but it is still unable to meet, refuses to treat all ethnic groups fairly, and continues to hold power and deceive the law, resulting in corrupt officials and corrupt officials who corrupt all.

For 64 years, the people are yearning, and the government is deceiving itself and fooling the people. Now it is not a question of the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians or the other 30 nationalities, it has come to the moment of national refoection, it is the problem of Malaysia, the problem of the Malaysians, the people yearn for a new Malaysian spirit. Don't blame the other ethnic groups, it is actually the Malays in power who are deceiving the Malays.

If I were prime minister, I would be extremely ashamed and self-conscious.

The monarch of the country is Malay, the Prime Minister is Malay, most Ministers are Malay, and the heads of government agencies are all Malays. The concept of political governance has derailed, the name of the country has been markedly evil, and the spirit of the Malays has been used to blind the eyes of the Malay and hinder the development of the country.

The Malays are falsely rallied in the name of justice, protecting privileges, ethnic status, religion, and imperial power from exploitation and abolition. But the whole country is Malay in power; the deputy is Malay, the chief police officer is Malay, the chief of the army, navy and air force is Malay, the president of the Bank Negara is Malay, except for Penang, all ministers and state chiefs are Malays, the finance minister is Malay, 3/4 of the MPs are Malays, the district/city officials are Malays, and the civil servants are 97% Malays.
        
Malay supremacy is a racist creed that the Malays are the masters of Malaysia, and that the Chinese and Indians constitute ethnic minorities, which provide for the treatment of the Malays by recognizing Article 153 of the Constitution. Of the 32.17 million people, 69% are indigenous Malays and Ibans and Kadazan, 21% Are Chinese and 7% are Indian.

The Malaysian Constitution contains a number of provisions providing for Malay privileges that state that the special status of the Malays and the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak must be guaranteed. This provision has over the years been contrived, cajoled and downright manipulated to include dominance in Public services, scholarships or grants, and educational or training privileges and almost in every sphere of life in Malaysia. 

Any permit or business licence must be reserved for a certain share to malays and aborigines; unreasonable places for Malays and aborigines for further study in Malaysian universities or educational institutions; Islam as the state religion; control or restriction on the propagation of any other religious doctrine or belief to Islamists; continued retention of Malay reservations that existed before independence, which are distributed only to Malays or aborigines; the national language must be Malay, etc.

In 1970, the Government initiated the New Economic Policy to improve the economic status of the Malays, which referred to preferential policies for Malays and aborigines, including the need for indigenous peoples to have a 30 per cent stake in the economic sphere;

Enrollment in tertiary institutions was originally 55 per cent Indigenous and 45 per cent non-Indigenous, which later became 95 Per cent native; listed companies had to sell 30 per cent of their shares to natives; through privatization schemes, bumiputra businesses were given more access to business and management opportunities; indigenous joint venture programmes were encouraged to achieve the goal of economic restructuring; the Government guaranteed that Malay students would study abroad and cultivate more Malay professionals. Instead of a general upliftment of the country, the government made this a zero sum strategy: Uplift Malay (not necessarily the other indigenous population) at the expense in non Malay. A policy that eventually leads to a lose-lose situation.

The NEP lasted for 15 years and a number of preferential policies played a role in raising the level of education and economic status of the Malays and indigenous peoples. After the expiry of the 1990 period, the Malaysian government proposed a new development policy that never stopped, but it took a total of 40 years. Since the founding of the Malaysia, Chinese are the largest income tax payers in the country, with a total of up to 80% and Indians about 10%. Because of the preferential Zakat system, even millionaire Malays pay little tax. 

If I were prime minister, I would be extremely ashamed and self-conscious.

The Malays should not always seek protection so that they are unable to rely on themselves and hinder the competitiveness and sound development of the country. Many Malays, hyped up by the political sentiment of the opposition, are still desperately defending the preferential treatment and support of the nation. The Malays had in fact monopolized all the domains and, compared to other races, they still considered themselves marginalized and the Malays as weak. This is a big lie that the government propagates. 

Religion is guaranteed, and Muslims pray every day, but wealth does not fall from the sky. Half a century later, having been educated into good and bad work, it is time to change course and face reality and work hard in life.

Why are you afraid of other peoples? The answer is actually very simple, because the government has cultivated the laziness of the Malay people, waiting for the durian to fall down every day, getting it for nothing, and getting used to waiting for work. In order to achieve its ends, the government uses religion to spread racial hatred, to distort the truth, to deceive the small, to do whatever it takes, just to grasp the privileges of preferential treatment and support?

Prime Minister, are you not ashamed? You don't take other ethnic groups seriously at all, will we be a family? How long will it take for the Malays to honest themselves and stand up?

Remember to forward! ❤ ️ 🙏 🏻

Program Pengukuhan...Tahunan 2023

*Hello Comrades,*

*Re: Program Pengukuhan Pertubuhah Politik Tahunan 2023*

*Venue: Pullman Hotel Kuching*

In attendance with me were Vice President Dr. Richard Ibuh and Supreme Council Member, Mr Atet Diego

We have picked a few points from today's talk by ROS. There are 126 complaints last year to ROS about party mismanagement and about takeovers or tussles for control of party, especially, when there were elections in the party. As briefed by the Investigating Officer from PDRM some groups came like helicopters or from nowhere wanted to take over the party and this normally led to instability in the party. They wanted to highjack the party from old members/committees.

ROS don't welcome instability in party as matters could be brought to Court. We understand that well because if matters go to court, ROS could be named as a party in the Suit.

From the talk, it seems that political parties need to examine their party constitutions and any amendments to party constitutions have to be in accordance with advice of ROS and legal procedures in the Societies Act, else the amendments could not be approved by ROS. 

For party to sack and suspend members, it seems that the advice of ROS political parties should have proper provisions for this. PBK's constitution is clear on how to sack and to suspend party members and all amendments been approved by ROS as they were all in compliance with the law and as advised by ROS.

Be advised PBK party constitution was amended not long ago and all clauses were on advice and approval of ROS and in accordance with the relevant laws. I hope members and supporters understand this and we all have to put things to rest and move on.

When ROS answered a question from the floor about the rights of members to complain, ROS gave an important hint to me that PBK has to tighten the party constitution further although I feel it adequate in dealing with desperados or unhappy members in the party. I believe that party has to be stable before we could face our enemies. We could not afford to spend energies and time on internal matters.

Records by ROS showed PBK is among the parties in Sarawak that has a good Report Card and we have to thank our learned lady Secretary General being a good goalkeeper for the party. Secretary General's job is heavy and we need to appreciate efforts been made in "book-keeping" by our Secretary General.

In compliance with Societies Act and directives of ROS all political parties must have a Registered or Certified Accountant to prepare and audit their financial returns each year to ROS in which this been complied by PBK. All our returns never been subjected to any queries by ROS.

It was disclosed that there are political parties that did not comply with directives of ROS and Societies Act that led the party being investigated and been issued show cause letters and warnings by ROS.


God bless Parti Bumi Kenyalang, God bless Sarawak.

Yours respectfully,

VOON LEE SHAN

"Race and Religion"

*Race and Religion Politics*

Sarawakians must understand race politics is a "Politics of Divide and Rule" taught by the British to elite Malays and UMNO. This became the mantra in Malay and Malaysian politics 

For this reason, when Malaysia was formed with UMNO leading or controlling the government, the federal constitution included Islam as the official religion of Malaysia, and the constitution also placed Malay rights as special rights in Malaysia although rights of other people are protected. 

These helped UMNO and Malays able to strengthen themselves against other Malaysian races. They can do this easily in Malaya because they have the numbers and they make sure they could stay together. In crucial times, the Malays could easily be united against other races because race and religion could help to unite them. 

It is hard to deny that Parti Bumiputera had not adopted this strategy to divide Sarawakians further. PB could survive because it has the support of Federal and UMNO over the decades. One could always guess that UMNO didn't want to see PBB be divided or fall and it could be for this reason the late Tan Sri Adenan Satem when he was chief minister, said Sarawak has no need for UMNO because there is already an UMNO in Sarawak. He was hinting PBB is proxy of UMNO or is UMNO for Sarawak 

We could read that the the real mentor of PB was Tun Razak who could have suggested Parti Bumiputra (PB) to merge with Parti Pesaka. Tun Rahman Yakub at that time was known to be very close to Tunku, Razak and Ghazali Shafie 

Jugah was supposed to work with SNAP and Razak could know this would not be good for PB in Sarawak. This was because Ningkan supported Jugah as Governor but Razak and Ghazali Shafie, if we could recall correctly, was against it. Tun Openg was then made the Governor - see the books by Prof Michael Leigh.

Jugah fell into the trap because he was offered to be the President when PB merged with Parti Pesaka to form PBB but not knowing that he has to pay the price that he later on was "forced" to retire from active politics. 

Jugah was made president for awhile only and Tawi Sli was also made CM in early days. This could be the strategy to please the Dayaks. 

After Jugah was no more president of PBB, Tun Rahman Yakub took over. Tawi Sli was also then removed! 

That completed the first phase of Dayak downfall. 

Are Dayaks still blind and deaf not to know the game played by race and religion politics? 

We could only be strong in Sarawak and pull down PBB/GPS, if Christians in Sarawak are united. 

We have to exploit Christian Supremacy in Sarawak and recognise Sarawak has one race only - the Sarawakian Race. 

We still have more than half Sarawakians who are Christians and we have to win the other 14% non Christians in Sarawak to form the government. There is no reason for this 14% non Christians be happy with what is going on in Malaysia and in Sarawak at the moment. They may also wish to agree for Sarawak independence from Malaysia.

If Sarawak could exit from Malaysia, PBB will be weak. At the moment PBB is strong because they know they can have support from UMNO always.

In a democracy, the rule is that minorities need to follow the majority but in Sarawak it was planned that the minority rules over the majority.

In Sarawak there are about 26-28 dayak majority seats out of 82. Even if Dayaks could be united and win all seats, Dayaks will still not be able to be Premier and Govenor of Sarawak. For this reason when you are not able to be in control of the government, you could not put your own people as head of government departments and government agencies.

For coming 13PRN more seats could be created but we doubt that there will be additional Dayak seats be given. This is a divide and rule tactic too. Can Dayak win when Dayaks are only fighting for Dayak interests only? If Dayaks still cling to Dayakism or Dayak interests only, Dayaks as Orang Asal would see themselves become squatters in their own land.

There are many Dayaks YBs who prefer to support PBB for their own survival. Their support for PBB will see Dayaks be split for long time to come and be left dry in their own land. 

*PBK is the only party pursuing the " Politics of Sarawakian Race & Supremacy of Christianity" in Sarawak*

*PBK deserves to be supported to fight against suppression and oppression of Malaya and to bring Sarawak to freedom and independence*

留马VS独立的拉扯战

留马Vs 独立 拉扯战
针对JamesChin/JC教授的新10点协议,非政府组织/NGOs –马婆罗洲困境基金会,SAS (Saya Anak Sarawak), 沙巴砂拉越澳洲新西兰权力组织/SSRANZ和肯雅兰党PBK便联合声明,评论JC教授在崩坏的马联邦成立60周年提出这新10点协议。

教授总结了沙砂/SS人民对马联邦无数次侵犯和不遵守MA63协议迟迟未实现SS人的梦想进步和繁荣国家的情景普遍不满。我觉得SS人一天比一天清醒,对不公平的对待也一天比一天感到愤怒。

在马联邦内,MA63所承诺的世俗, 多元化权力,婆罗洲化,自治,宗教自由,公民身份都一一被侵蚀。

SS的资源不间断的被掠夺和SS人不间断的被剥削的情况和马半岛不断的进步和繁荣是建立在SS的贫穷上。

马联邦(马半岛的伪装)一直以来,都不履行MA63原本宪法条款像每年向沙巴收税后,40%回馈,都没做到。

1971年推出的新经济政策,就制度化推崇马来族和回教主义至上完全破坏SS所推崇的世俗,多元流政经文教制度。这是无法挽救的冲突,SS唯一的途径就是寻求独立自主一切。

JC教授这10点协议证实马联邦从头到现在都未兑现创建时的承诺。所以,SS人民是时候以联合国赋予的人权1514号的自决权和1541号集体决议权来裁决SS更自由和快乐的美好和光明的未来。

为了更自由,更幸福的婆罗洲

婆罗洲先锋报
为了更自由、更幸福的婆罗洲

非政府组织表示James Chin教授的“十点协议”反映了联邦政府未能兑现MA63

James Chin教授提出了“十点协议”。

非政府组织认为沙巴和砂拉越没有任何未来留在马来西亚

2023 年 12 月 3 日

这是沙巴、砂拉越非政府组织——即马来西亚婆罗洲困境基金会(Bopimafo)、澳大利亚新西兰沙巴砂拉越权利组织(SSRANZ)、我砂拉越儿女组织(SAS)和肯雅兰土著党(PBK)的联合声明:

三个非政府组织主席 Daniel John Jambun、Robert Pei 和 Peter John Jaban 以及 PBK 主席温利山发表联合声明,评论JamesChin教授呼吁“重新肯定”沙砂的“十点协议”以及在摇摇欲坠的联邦成立60周年之际,根据1963年马来西亚协议(MA63),沙砂的世俗和多元化权利。

“JChin的十点协议(一)要求立即实现马来西亚联邦对沙巴和砂拉越人民的梦想和承诺;(二)重申沙巴和砂拉越在组建马来西亚联邦时与马来亚是平等伙伴;并重申婆罗洲州属在联邦宪法第1(2)条下的独特地位,有别于1963年马来西亚协议所载的马来西亚半岛11个州属。


它还(三)寻求重申沙巴和砂拉越各自对其领土范围内的资源拥有专属领土权;(四)重申沙巴和砂拉越的每个社区都有权拥有其独特的文化和仪式表达、身份和语言;(五)重申沙巴和砂拉越是世俗国家、多元宗教社会,正如我们的祖先所承诺的那样;(六)并重申所有沙巴人和砂拉越人都是平等公民,并拒绝一切形式的种族主义、宗教不容忍和至上主义意识形态。” (引用:婆罗洲邮报 23 年 11 月 30 日)

他们指出,教授总结了人民对马来西亚联邦政府 60 年来多次持续侵犯其基本 MA63 权利的普遍不满。这些仍然是未实现的“梦想”和幻想。

其中包括非法改变MA63马来西亚的世俗、多元化和多元文化概念、婆罗洲化、自治、宗教自由、剥夺公民身份以及未能按照协议发展和推进沙巴和砂拉越。经济发展不平衡,尤其是马来亚凭借沙巴和砂拉越的资源,特别是石油和天然气而发展起来,而SS却落后和贫困,甚至在基本结构和便利设施方面也没有取得什么进展。

最近,砂拉越电视台的圣诞颂歌节目引发了不满,该节目拒绝了砂拉越教会协会(ACA)将歌曲《O Holy Night》纳入节目的要求,因为官方政策排除了“宗教元素”。 ACA拒绝参加庆祝活动,并发表声明强烈批评审查制度,并维护砂拉越社会的宗教自由和世俗本质。这得到了整个砂拉越的广泛支持,电视台管理层很快就接纳了这首歌。

在沙巴,也存在类似的不满,因为未能履行 MA63 的创始条款,例如 MA63 规定支付(第 121D 条)每年税收收入 40% 的权利,以及许多其他问题,特别是缺乏发展、贫困和“非法”问题。

然而,非政府组织和PBK主席表示,重新确认是否会对马来亚人产生任何影响值得怀疑,因为马来亚人60年来一直逃避遵守MA63,否认沙巴MA63 40%的税收回扣权利就是例证。

他们表示,世俗、多元和多元文化政治制度的概念是沙巴和砂拉越放弃马来西亚真正独立的几个关键基本或基础术语之一。然而,自1971年新经济政策实施以来,这一概念已被改变,并被制度化的种族宗教至上主义(Ketuanan Melayu)种族隔离所取代。

此外,即使联合政府同意这10点,它也不太可能获得反对党的任何支持,反对党由坚定的种族宗教原教旨主义者组成,发誓要废除世俗概念并取代马来西亚作为伊朗或阿富汗风格的伊斯兰教统治者和宪法。这些人还宣称“马来西亚属于马来人”。

他说,教授提出的重新确认沙巴砂拉越权利的10点呼吁实际上证实了马来西亚是在创建时做出的承诺从未兑现或已被删除,因此具有误导性和欺诈性。

NGOs say Prof James Chin's "10-Point Agreement" Reflects Failure of the Federation to Honour MA63

Prof James Chin proposed a "10-Point Agreement".

NGOs do not see any future for Sabah & Sarawak to remain in Malaysia

3rd December 2023

This is a joint statement by Sabah, Sarawak NGOs - namely Borneo Plight in Malaysia Foundation (Bopimafo), Sabah Sarawak Rights Australia New Zealand (SSRANZ), Saya Anak Sarawak (SAS) and Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK):

Mssrs Daniel John Jambun, Robert Pei and Peter John Jaban, the respective presidents of the 3 NGOs and PBK President Voon Lee Shan have issued a joint statement commenting on Professor James Chin’s “10-point Agreement” calling for “re-affirmation” of Sabah and Sarawak secular and pluralist rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) on the occasion of the 60 anniversary of the shaky federation.

“Chin’s 10-point agreement calls for the dream and promise of the Federation of Malaysia for the people of Sabah and Sarawak to be fulfilled without delay; reaffirm Sabah and Sarawak as equal partners with Malaya in the formation of the Federation of Malaysia; and reaffirm the unique status of the Borneo states under Article 1(2) of the Federal Constitution, distinct from the 11 states in Peninsular Malaysia, as enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement of 1963.

It also seeks to reaffirm that Sabah and Sarawak each possess exclusive territorial rights over the resources that are within their own territorial boundaries; reaffirm that every community in Sabah and Sarawak has the right to their distinct unique cultures and ceremonial expression, identity and language; reaffirm that Sabah and Sarawak as secular states, multi-religious society as promised by our forefathers; and reaffirm that all Sabahans and Sarawakians are equal citizens, and reject all forms of racism, religious intolerance, and supremacist ideology.” (quote: Borneo Post 30/11/23)

They noted that the Professor had summed up the widespread dissatisfaction of the people with the multiple and continuing violations of their fundamental MA63 rights by the Malaysian Federal government over 60 years. These have remained unfulfilled “dreams” and illusions.

They include the illegal alteration of the MA63 secular, pluralist and multicultural concept of Malaysia, Borneonisation, autonomous self-government, religious freedom, denial of citizenship and failure to develop and advance Sabah and Sarawak as agreed. This is starkly heightened by the lopsided economic development whereby Malaya has been developed with Sabah and Sarawak resources particularly oil and gas, while they have been left backward and impoverished with little progress even in basic structures and amenities.

The unhappiness recently flared up over the TV Sarawak’s Christmas Carol programme which rejected the Association of Churches in Sarawak’s (ACA) request to include the song “O Holy Night” in the programme because of official policy excluding “religious elements”. The ACA declined to join the celebration and issued a statement strongly criticising the censorship and asserting the religious freedom and secular nature of Sarawak society. This received popular support throughout Sarawak and the TV station management quickly backed down on the exclusion of the song.

In Sabah, there is a similar dissatisfaction over the failure to honour MA63 founding terms such as the MA63 stipulated payment of (Art 121D) 40% entitlement to annual tax revenue among many other issues especially lack of development, poverty and the “illegals” issue.

The NGOs and PBK presidents said, however, that it is doubtful that the re-affirmation would have any impact on the Malayans who have evaded honouring the MA63 for 60 years as exemplified by the denial of Sabah’s MA63 40% entitlement.

They said that the concept of a secular, pluralist and multicultural political system was one of several key basic or foundational terms for Sabah and Sarawak to give up real independence for Malaysia. However, this concept has since the implementation of the New Economic Policy in 1971 been altered and replaced with an institutionalised race religion supremacist (Ketuanan Melayu) apartheid.

Further, it is unlikely that even if the Unity government agreed with the 10 Points, it would be able to gain any support from the Opposition which is made up of committed race religion fundamentalists sworn to dismantle the secular concept and replace Malaysia as an Iranian or Afghanistan style Islamic Caliphate and Constitution. The same people have declared that “Malaysia belonged to the Malays”.

Mr Voon the PBK president said that it was ironic the Professor had previously criticised PBK for seeking legal advice from a foreign lawyer who declared that Malaysia was a fraud. 

He said that the professor's 10-point call for re-affirmation of Sabah Sarawak rights in reality confirmed that Malaysia was created with promises which never fulfilled or have been removed and therefore were misleading and a fraud. 

He cited the British colonial office as having commented with concern in 1963 that the Malayans' promise that SS would have "accelerated development" in Malaysia was a "false prospectus". 

Mr Voon who filed a suit in the High Court of Borneo in 2021 to declare MA63 invalid, said the process of making MA63 was riddled with illegalities and deceit. 

Legal analysis of the making of MA63 has proven that it was, in fact, a null and void agreement from the beginning. This was because Singapore, North Borneo (Sabah) and Sarawak were still British-controlled colonies and not sovereign states with the legal capacity or competence to make international agreements. This view is supported by the International Court of Justice decision in the Chagos case 2019 and affirmed by the Mauritius vs. Maldives case iin 2021.

If MA63 was a validly made international treaty, it would have been terminated under International law, by the multiple violations of foundational and basic terms of the agreement and rendered it no longer binding. Either way, Sabah and Sarawak have the opportunity to seek independence which would free them to determine their own political destiny and social and economic development without foreign control.

The joint statement pointed out that the 20 and 18 Points were not binding agreements but just an expression of the people's desired terms for the federation. They said that there is no evidence of the agreements being signed with the UK or Malayan governments. According to the British colonial officials, the Sarawak 18 Points were never provided to them. They noted some of Sabah's Points like the "No State religion" stipulation was included in the Federal Constitution.

They questioned whether it was realistic to re-affirm the unfulfilled promises and prolong a union without meaning and benefit when it is so obvious that the agreed objectives of MA63 were never fulfilled but in fact, abandoned for 60 years. They said Sabah and Sarawak should look at the alternative solution of seeking an exit from the failed union.

They called on the respective Sabah and Sarawak state governments to seek a review of SS's position in Malaysia after the PAS party repeatedly rejected the concept of Malaysia as a secular country and the federation's failure to honour what was promised. It is widely anticipated that the PAS fundamentalist party will implement its Islamic Caliphate when it wins power and controls the Malaysian Parliament in a couple of elections time. The NGOs said the review of MA63 (if valid) would be timely and it was essential since it has already long been terminated by multiple breaches of fundamental terms for federation.

Sabah and Sarawak must seek lawful and peaceful means to Decolonise itself and work towards sovereign Independent nations.
