Umno colonised and cheated us from the onset

History notes which Umno had flouted every indicate in the Malaysia Agreement as well as royally screwed Sarawak as well as Sabah.

COMMENT

By Kik Tajue

The essay 'Umno needs to 'colonise' S'wak for continuity' upon December twenty-nine created by Dr John Brian Anthony stirred me to write this.

Before we get down to the nitty gritty, let me say which Dr Anthony has done the tiny mistake in which Umno has, in fact, colonised Sarawak (and Sabah) given Malaysia came into being. We shall see this shortly.

But what is even some-more abominable is which the dual states have not just been colonised. They have in actuality been deceived as well as deceived in many ways.

Let us begin from the beginning. (For the discussion, we shall ignore Singapore.)

The theme is essentially really lengthy, though we shall try to be as brief by highlighting usually the many salient points.

Dubious start

When Tunku Abdul Rahman approached the British supervision with the view to combining Malaysia, he was in actuality in the midst of the traffic with Diosdado Macapagal (then boss of the Philippines) as well as Sukarno (then boss of Indonesia) to form Maphilindo, the union of Malaya, the Philippines as well as Indonesia.

The British supervision cobbled together the Cobbold Commission to find the views of the peoples of Brunei, Sabah, Sarawak as well as Singapore. After the whirlwind tour which lasted all of the single month, the Commission reported which the peoples of those countries, except of Brunei, were in favour of combining the brand brand new confederation.

Bearing in thoughts th! e vastne ss of Sabah, Sarawak as well as Brunei total (far bigger than Malaya), as well as the poor information exchnage there, the single fails to understand how the Commission could have done the correct pursuit within such the short time.

Let us not forget which it had to check with Singapore, too.

Sukarno was incensed, as well as voiced which he would vanquish Malaysia. Thus began his Konfrontasi, which started in 1962 as well as ended in 1966.

The many affected during the war was Sarawak as well as Sabah to the obtuse degree. The outcome upon Johor as well as Singapore was negligible.

It was the British Army, with the little Australian as well as New Zealand troops, which fought off the Indonesia Army.

The Malaysian Army from Malaya came usually during the tail finish of it, to carry out mop-up operations as well as to tackle the remaining communists.

When Sabah as well as Sarawak concluded to get together with the then Federation of Malaya (FOM) to form the connection of Malaysia, it was upon the bargain which the 3 entities would be next to partners.

Which equates to there would be usually 3 horizontal stripes as well as 3 rays emanating from the star of the stream flag.

Instead of treating the dual states as next to partners, Umno has relegated them to the same in front of as the component states of the former Federated States of Malaya (FOM).

Position diminished

Sabah as well as Sarawak (which, for convenience, we shall hereafter impute to as 'Borneo') concluded to get together with the FOM to form the connection of Malaysia theme to sure conditions.

These conditions have been contained in the Eighteen-Point Agreement for Sarawak as well as Malaya as well as the Twenty-Point Agreement for Sabah as well as Malaya.

Umno has in the centre abandoned as well as dishonored the Agreements. we am noting the salient points below:

! Point 1

While Islam would be the inhabitant sacrament of Malaysia, there should be no state sacrament in Borneo, as well as the provisions relating to Islam in the Constitution of Malaya should not apply to Borneo.

But Islam has been done the central sacrament of Borneo. As which is so, nothing of the natives, which form the infancy of the population, as well as unless they have been Muslims, nor any alternative non-Muslims can ever become the governor for the simple reason which the conduct of state must be the Muslim.

Point 2

While Malay would be the inhabitant denunciation of the Federation, English should be the central denunciation of Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal, but reduction of time. Note that, greatfully but reduction of time.

Had this indicate not been ignored, Borneo would have been spared the Education Ministry's odious policies.

In fact, Marcel Jude Joseph, the distinguished counsel in Sabah, has pointed out which even Section 17 of the Education Act 1996 does not state which Malay shall be the main middle of direction as well as is the usually middle of education.

Sometime in Nov 2011, he filed for judicial review to stop the Education Ministry's preference to abolish the PPSMI (Teaching as well as Learning of Science as well as Mathematics in English).

Justice as well as right to self-determination

Point 3

States which the brand brand new Constitution, the Constitution of Malaysia (or what we call the Federal Constitution), should be drafted. Although it would be formed upon the Constitution of the FOM, it must be the completely brand brand new document drafted as well as concluded in the light of the free association of states as well as should not be the series of amendments to the Constitution drafted as well as concluded by opposite states in totally opposite circumstances.

This h! as also been ignored. One concludes which the little lazy people simply edited as well as cut as well as paste the Constitution of the FOM.

Indeed, even sure definitions or phrases have been not right or uncover unfairness.

In Malaya, we have been deemed the bumiputera if we verbalise Malay during home, practice Malay custom, enlightenment as well as tradition, as well as we have been the Muslim.

In Borneo, as well as if we have been not the Muslim, we have been deemed the bumiputera usually if both your parents have been natives. This has caused the lot of problems for local Borneans, especially those born of local as well as non-native parents. we am the single of those adversely affected. My late mom was Chinese as well as late father was the native.

The word 'High Court in the State' as used in the Federal Constitution vis-a-vis the make the difference of denunciation used in Borneo is another example of incompetency. It is misleading as well as meaningless.

There has never been the High Court of the State of Sabah, nor the High Court of the State of Sarawak.

The High Court has been well known as the High Court of Borneo and, subsequently, as the High Court of Sabah as well as Sarawak.

Obviously, the chairman or persons who nice the Constitution of Malaya to furnish the Federal Constitution were clueless as well as acted upon their own but consulting their counterparts in Borneo.

Point 11

Borneo should retain carry out of the own finance, development as well as tariff, as well as should have the right to work up the own taxation as well as to lift loans upon the own credit.

Strictly speaking, this is not the case.

Point 15

The then existent educational complement of Borneo should be maintained as well as for this reason it should be underneath state control.

This is not the case, either. Education has been done the sovereign m! atter. I f this indicate had not been ignored, Borneo would be excellent as well as fine today. Indeed, it was before the assorted hare-brained Malaysian Ministers of un-Education mucked up everything.

There have been many alternative ways in which Umno has eroded the standing of both the states as well as their non-Muslim peoples, though we shall stop here.

Time to lift out

Besides dishonoring the Agreements as well as relegating Sabah as well as Sarawak to an insignificant position, Umno has squeezed hundreds of billions of ringgit every year over the final forty years from the inorganic substance resources of the dual states to exhaust upon grandiose projects in Malaya as well as to enrich the Umnoputras.

Someone has compiled no fewer than 65 instances of estimable leakages over the final decade alone.

Other healthy resources especially in the forms of lumber as well as land, upon the alternative hand, have been gobbled up by BN politicians in the dual states.

But go to the farming areas in the dual states now, as well as we will find abominable conditions, still poor communication, villages with no water as well as electricity, ad infinitum.

Only about 3 months ago, an English every day reported of the woman living in Kuching city who had usually the single bra costing RM10. She as well as her family had moved from the farming areas to the city in the hope of anticipating practice as well as ended up having to live in the miserable squatter area instead.

And thousands of Sarawakians have left to work in Singapore as well as Johor because they could not find the pursuit in their own state.

If Pakatan Rakyat will stick to the promises should it trounce Umno in the next ubiquitous election, it is the usually entity which can save the ordinary Sabahans as well as Sarawakians.

The usually alternative viable choice is for the dual states to lift out from Malaysia altogeth! er. This move is highly recommended.

Point 7

Yes, Point 7 (of the Agreement) says there should be no right to secede from the Federation. But the Federal government, in the form of Umno, has not celebrated the Agreement. As which is the case, which particular indicate can be abandoned by the peoples of Sabah as well as Sarawak, too.

If we have been meddlesome to see the finish Agreement, we can go to sarawakheadhunter.blogspot.com. It can be found about one-quarter down the page.

Dr Azmi Sharom has created an interesting article, Broken Promises: The Malaysian Constitution as well as Multiculturalism. Google can indicate we to the assorted sites where it can be found.

Kik Tajue lives with his 3-year aged Rottweiler upon the mountain outside Kuching whilst essay the book. He reads FMT daily.
