What is Referendum law?
I could never understand the obsession abt the Referendum law thingy. A referendum which is a voting process (to vote Yes or No on specific issue of national interest) is under the jurisdiction of the election commission SPR which is the federal body empowered to register voters and hold elections. Referendum law would hv to b federal law and enacted in the federal government. If you want referendum law, then it is for MPs to bring before Parliament.
        However, the State is empowered to call for and hold Inquiry for State purpose under State List II (10) of the IGC Report. This is the avenue available to Sarawak if Sarawak wants to gather public opinion on a matter affecting Sarawakians.
        The Sarawak government can carry out this process if it wants, any time if endorsed by the Sarawak Cabinet (this excludes assistant ministers who are not part of cabinet). There is nothing to stop the Sarawak government from holding an Inquiry under State List to discover if the people want autonomy or independence. But the current Sarawak government will not dare to do it.
        When we make demands, we hv to know what are the correct and relevant constitutional processes. No use to demand what is not doable constitutionally.

I stand corrected if anyone disagrees. 😀
Note: you don’t need a referendum to exit, Singapore did not hold a referendum to leave Malaysia in 1965. Even if there is no referendum law, Parliament can still legislate to hold an election not necessarily to choose the govt, but to have a referendum ie voting process to vote on a matter of national interest.

My comments:
With this awareness, in 2021, we people should know which representatives to elect to represent us to vote Sarawak out of the federation of Malaysia which stands for nothing but plundering, exploitation, oppression, suppression, robbery and bullying.

小我和大我完成独立

agatha wong 5:30 PM
        自古都有不少政治人士在生命受到威胁和金钱诱惑之下而出卖国家出卖人民等等的事发生。人总是有情感有缺点的，在顾忌自身和亲人的安危与幸福之下，不得不向邪恶屈服。 过后有些及时忏悔而成为英雄人物或是圣人。 当然也有一些有很忠诚和正义感强的英雄人物从始至终都不向恶势力低头，以牺牲小我完成大我的精神捍卫国土。
        环顾历史，1976年6月沙芭首长Fuad Stephen的飞机爆炸事件和在同年7月砂沙两国被马来亚殖民地化的事件发生，稍微有思考能力者应该不难理解这两宗案件的吊诡吧！ 砂沙两国从政者与人民也就从此逆来顺受。 有了前车之鉴，马来亚知道砂沙人民好欺负，也就得寸进尺和英国殖民地统治者没差异，掠夺砂沙资源，占有土地（如分割部分砂沙国土为联邦治辖区）, 占有砂沙两国丰富海域，删改历史欺骗学生，等等。
        当时的反对党元老们和砂执政党元老们都不提砂主权和砂独立课题。是否有什么苦衷就只有天知道了。 可是现今的砂行动党也不提砂主权和独立课题就很吊诡了！！是否被殖民地统治到昏头昏脑，还是另有原因也只有天知道了！ 如果政治人物都被殖民地化熏陶到失去自尊，失去尊严，失去斗志，逆来顺受，习以为常，而自我矮化成为奴隶性格，事事听从主人指示，那真是呜呼哀哉也！ 反观普罗大众，也有不少民众对殖民地化课题很冷感，这更是理所当然的，怪不得民众。 主要祸首当然还是马来亚统治者。 还有就是教育制度，不鼓励学生积极思想，不激发学生质问思考，更糟的是删改历史欺骗学生以及用宗教教材困扰学生的独立思考能力，等等！
        很庆幸的是在大约2014年间，有人提出砂主权和自治权。 民间有一帮人士就立刻发起维护砂主权和自治权运动，而且连续坚持到现在。 他们以S4S名义主办各种活动唤醒国人对主权和自治权的关注，也同时拆穿1963年组织马来西亚联邦的不公平合约！ 起先我也对S4S有疑问没有全力以赴支持。 深思之后，就很认同这帮各路英雄豪杰为了捍卫国土劳命奔波的各种付出。如果独立之后，这帮先锋队应该受到表扬！
        我之前发表的几次文章里都特别呼吁大家向前看，为争取独立和自主权应该不分党派和种族而团结一致。 不要再回头看，不要再指责从前治政者的错误，因为这样的指责只会造成分裂和拖延独立。我从前发表的言论已经强调过，一天的拖延等于砂国送给马来亚（以现在的价格计算）RM176,000,000 (850,000xUS$50x4.15)。 所以我们要非常警惕，不要掉入殖民地统治者的挑拨离间阴谋，而削弱和拖延我们争取独立的力量和时间！很遗憾的是砂行动党不但是不合作，反而是 (相信是为了捞取政治本钱) 一而再再而三的攻击前朝的执政偏差。
        对于S4S提起的公投，我起先也很让同和参与。过后我再分析之下 却认为1963马合约其实已经是作废了 没有法律价值（虽然我不是律师）。然而有些人士还是认为63马合约有效。 不过我还是保持原来的观点，认定63年合约已经无效。 我也有打算向国际法庭申请审判63马合约无效，还砂朥越自由身，独立主权。可惜我不懂法律程序。 很高兴在前几天看到两位前政治元老黄景和与温利山律师的观点和我一样。 有空闲时，我希望能向他们请教如何向国际法庭申请宣判63马合约无效。目前砂内阁千万不要和马来亚进行检讨63马合约，因为这是一个非常危险的阴谋诡计，会让砂国陷入比1963年马合约更悲惨的命运，再也没有回头路了！！
        俗语说”姜是老的辣”。 尤其是当了22年首相的马哈迪怎么可能会心甘情愿以小党的地位在联盟里被两个大党牵制着？他是深谋远虑之士，从成立土团党开始就在布局新的巫统3.0诞生。 真的如我在11月4日发表的文章所做的猜测。 最近所发生的事件如巫统党员跳槽，教育部长的政策等等，应该更促进砂国越快宣布独立越好。更何况我们敬爱的英雄人物，已故的阿迪南已经宣布7月22日为独立日。为何砂内阁还不要提升为国会内阁呢？ 顺理成章的让Taib 坐正总统的宝 座，Abang Jo当首相不就行了吗。 难道又有不可告人的苦衷吗？

21 reasons why Tun Mahathir cannot become prime minister

21 reasons why Tun Mahathir cannot become prime minister

MT Webmaster

Last updated Apr 23, 2018

         (Malaysian Chinese News) – A pilot lists out on his Facebook 21 reasons why Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Mahathir cannot become the prime minister and he is especially thankful of Mahathir’s bumiputra policy that forced him to become a pilot.  Calling himself Thiru, he said he graduated with a doctorate degree in civil engineering but learned that the “Indian quota” for lecturers in local universities had been filled. So he signed up as a “guest lecturers” on a contract renewable once in a few months. Another university offered him to be an associate professor.
He said mockingly that in order to fulfill Mahathir’s “bumiputra only” policy, he tried to go to the US to take up a post-doctorate programme which he was qualified.  However, he did not expect that this programme was also limited to bumiputra only which made him unable to pursue an academic career.  He was eventually forced to become a pilot.
     “Now Mahathir wants to save a ‘Malaysia which practises racial
discrimination’.”
        Thiru asks Pakatan supporters whether to let Mahathir ‘save Malaysia’ or ‘save Malaysia from Mahathir’?
        Thiru thinks there are 21 reasons that Mahathir cannot become the prime minister. He says:

• When I was in primary two, Mahathir tried quietly to control the tin market through Maminco Holdings.  When the tin market collapsed, his firm lost US$253 million (equivalent to RM985 million).  Eventually, the company closed down. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from mismanagement.
• He caused BMF to lose RM2.5 billion in the Hong Kong financial scandal and now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ a financially mismanaged Malaysia.
• Due to his ambition to develop heavy industry, Perwaja Steel was set up and lost RM10 billion. Eric Cheah became the scapegoat.   Now Mahathir says he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from losing GLCs.
• His privatization policy is in reality to pass to his cronies national public amenities, including electricity power, telecommunications and even railway network giving birth to super-rich Malays and multi-billionaires and widening the wealth disparity among the bumiputra.    Now Mahathir says he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from such bad policies.
• His speculation on foreign exchange in 1985 resulted in Bank Negara’s loss of US$10billion in foreign reserves. And now he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from foreign exchange deficit.
• MAS lost RM8billion in a span of eight years but he kept helping it financially. Even when MAS shares fell from RM8 to RM3, the government used public funds to buy up its shares at RM8. He received a 32% stake while the RM1.8 billion from public funds had gone to businessman Tan Sri Tajuddin. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from kleptomaniac.
• The PKFZ scandal had resulted in a loss of RM4.6 billion. He freed himself leaving behind Tun Ling Liong Sik. Now Mahathir says he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia.
• Under the programme to nurture bumiputra suppliers, he forced Proton and other industries to buy from designated suppliers on long term basis. And now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from money politics.
• He belittled WTO and raised import tax on foreign cars up to 300% forcing people to buy Proton on bank loans stretching up to nine years. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from trade protectionism.
• He neglected Sabah and Sarawak’s development for 22 years and now he says East Malaysians should rely on self-improvement rather than financial aids. Mahathir now says he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from the J community, K community, Sabah and Sarawak.
• Under Operasi Lalang, he jailed people he didn’t like without trial and now he says he would ‘save’ Malaysia from such wrongdoings.
• He suspended three newspapers and jailed editors for reporting his political and financial scandals. Now he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from the oppression of press freedom.
• He weakened the power of the monarchy and laid down the unprecedented principle placing executive power above that of judiciary. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from government intervention of the judiciary.
• He changed the population composition of Sabah by launching his IC project in increasing hugely the number of immigrants leading to the Lahat Datu incident. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from the serious immigration problem.
• He blamed financial speculator George Soros and the Jews for the devaluation of the ringgit. When that failed, he turned and blamed the deputy prime minister for being a gay and sacked him. Now Mahathir says he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from the abuse of human rights.
• When his former deputy and family were having dinner, he sent people to break up the glass door and kidnapped him in front of his family members and put him in jail. Now he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from political persecution.
• He sent people to assault his former deputy and pretended he was shocked. Subsequently, he set up police independent panel to investigate the incident but the panel died a natural death with the withdrawal of funds. Now he wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from a police state.
• When he realized the ringgit will soon collapse, he, instead of repaying the debts, forced the merger of a group of leading banks comprising some profitable banks and his cronies to redistribute resources and also stopped people from depositing money overseas. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from capital control.
• He repeatedly blamed the Jews and regarded Schindler’s List is a movie appealing for sympathy for the Jews. The movie was banned in Malaysia. Zoran Nikolic the KL/Selangor footballer was sacked after winning the Malaysia Cup because he has a Serbian passport. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from religious fundamentalism.
• During his reign, he used racialism to divide the people through the top national academic institution. He tried to convince this institution that race A is superior than race B and C because B and C are ‘outsiders’ and not bumiputra. Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from racism.
• He once accused Lim Kit Siang for practising nepotism by making his son Lim Guan Eng the chief minister of Penang. Isn’t it nepotism when he allowed his son Mukhriz to become Kedah menteri besar? Now Mahathir wants to ‘save’ Malaysia from nepotism and cronyism.

        It has been a grave mistake of Harapan Pakatan to select Dr M, the most evil-minded one in the whole federation of Malaysia to be the Prime Minister.  He has been too abusive, autocratic, self-cnetred, corrupt,  crony-minded, greedy, megaglomaniac, nepotic and selfish to uphold the principles of democracy. 

He has tarnished and squashed all the good intentions of HP to build a new and better Federation of Malaysia consisting of three nations of equal status Peninsular Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak.  Though we have been denied the equal status and colonised since time immemorial, after 509, we Sarawakians are more determined than ever before to fight for independence to quit from the federation of Malaysia which stands for plundering, exploitation, oppression, suppression, robbery and bullying.

        The devil is said to be the master-mind in every evil work in the federation of Malaysia.  He practised centralisation of power to plunder, exploit, oppress, suppress, rob and bully others at will.  There is no secret in the age of internet to tell how much money the Mahathir family and his cronies have embezzled during his 22 years as PM in the federation of Malaysia.   He is so smart to keep the money in Isreal which the federation of Malaysia has no diplomatic relationship to do investigation.  However, I believe that the Mahathir family and his cronies will have to face the tribunal some day.  Their time will come and we want as much justice to be done as they do on Najib and his cronies.

          He denied the development of Sabah and Sarawak.   These Malayan masters have amassed ill-gotten mega wealth and hidden overseas.  I believe in retribution to every evil-doer.  I guess that the time for the Mahathir family and his cronies to face the tribunal is not too far away.

        Where is justice in the federation of Malaysia?  When Najib and his accomplices are put to trials, I think that many people like me are looking forwards to the trials of the Mahathir family and his accomplices as well.  We shall enjoy watching the arch robber catching other robbers and in the end, the arch robber is caught eventually to justify the situation.  (大贼抓小贼，最后抓到谁。太好玩了)

        When the devil was asked to preach integrity among the civil servants,  he preached without knowing that 99% of the civil servants know too well how corrupt and colluded he was as PM from 1981 to 2003.  He was forced to abandon the seat of PM in 2003 reluctantly when he saw the power of people at that time to dethrone Suharto. 

        He is too autocratic, self-centred, corrupt, greedy and selfish to believe in reformation in favour of democracy which is people-centred and –friendly in every practice.  That is why he rejected the introduction of local government which involves people from different strata of the society and wide-awareness of individual citizen of their responsibility and commitment.
