Manila's Peace Accord with MIFL is a Big Booster for Najib Razak as great as Aquino III
by John Teo@www.nst.com.my
THE brand brand new assent accord in between a Philippine supervision as great as a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) sealed this week in Manila in a participation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is undoubtedly a large understanding for a Philippines.
It is additionally a rsther than large understanding for Malaysia. It is, after all, a initial real effort during brokering assent in unfamiliar land, nonetheless a group in uniform are not unfamiliar with United Nations-led peacekeeping missions in unfamiliar lands.
And a impasse in a assent process in Mindanao had been lengthy, extending great over a decade as great as spanning a terms of 3 Malaysian Prime Ministers.
While Malaysia has an seductiveness in a assent as great as stability of a close neighbouring nation for a own sake, you mount to reap approach assent dividends as well. The many immediate of these is Najib's really participation in Manila, upon his initial revisit as Prime Minister. That will likely translate in to swell as great as in sincerely reduced order upon a vital irritant in a relations with a Philippines: a explain upon Sabah.
The brand brand new assent horizon in between a Philippine supervision as great as a MILF is additionally desirous by a really success of a Malaysian governing model.
The MILF unabashedly proclaims which it wants to follow a indication of parliamentary democracy, down to a ministerial form of supervision led by a chief apportion answerable to an elected legislature as great as with a supervision obliged for clearly tangible ! as great as defined areas of executive responsibilities set out in a basic law or mini constitution.
What a MILF fought for, it right away gets in a form of a politically autonomous Bangsamoro, not distinct what prevails in Sabah as great as Sarawak under a sovereign setup. There can be no more sincere form of flattery accorded to Malaysia as great as what you mount for as a nation than this open attempt during imitation.
What only do outsiders find so endearing about us which maybe you ourselves sometimes fail to see? They probably see how a state leaders gain bureau through keenly contested elections. How these leaders stay in bureau not only by earnest assent as great as wealth though by actually delivering upon them as great as running for bureau again based upon only such a record. And how detractors of state leaders complain bitterly as great as plainly though hearten in unanimity with admirers when they see these leaders urge with a Federal Government what is perceived to be a state's due.
Moreover, outsiders probably additionally see how a state-federal agreement sincerely orderly distributes a healthy tension existent in between a inherited parochial instincts as great as a antipathies directed towards what is sometimes perceived as an overbearing though essential inhabitant political centre.
And seen from a particular vantage point of an mostly querulous as great as sometimes utterly dysfunctional political enlightenment in a Philippines, outsiders might perspective a parliamentary system of supervision as definitely efficient as great as effective.
The Philippine-MILF agreement is distant from a finished deal. It will be undergoing 
the wringer of exhaustive as great as exhausting open political discuss which has shown an unfortunate as great as supernatural propensity t! o derail many of what is mostly for a larger good. The consequential saving grace for this agreement might great be which it carries with it a impeccable imprimatur as great as unimpeachable dignified management of President Benigno Aquino III.
Crucially additionally for a MILF, Aquino has found an doubtful fan in a elder statesman as great as Senate President, Juan Ponce Enrile, who has come out for a assent agreement as great as said Bangsamoro will be a indication to test as great as find out how great is a parliamentary form of government. Enrile, incidentally, is scored equally politically to Joseph Estrada, who waged all-out war against a MILF while he was boss during a spin of a century.
Popular await for a brand brand new assent understanding in a Philippines has so distant been additionally utterly strenuous as great as hostile voices rsther than muted as great as isolated.
If all goes as planned as great as laid out in a horizon agreement, Malaysia as great as a Philippines might have both their fates happily intertwined as never before. We will have as many a stake in not only assisting a Philippines attain assent in a excitable south but, equally, in ensuring which a evolving Bangsa-moro entity successfully lives up to a great guarantee economically.
A pacific as great as moneyed Mindanao will, on top of all, be a many tolerable long-term solution to a unchecked upsurge of displaced Filipinos in to Sabah.
