Hindraf Makkal Sakthi won its initial converts upon a alternative side of a South China Sea in late November when Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPi MaFo) gave a toll publicity of its just-announced five-year Blueprint for a Indian Nation in Malaysia.
The UK-based NGO's chairman, Daniel John Jambun, pronounced which he has conveyed his movement's unqualified await for a Blueprint as well as in particular a proposed Ministry for Minority Affairs to Hindraf chairman, P. Waythamoorthy, by email from London.
"We wish to demonstrate a solidarity with as well as joining towards alternative elements of a 3rd Force," pronounced Daniel in a telephone call from Kew Gardens in London, England. "Hindraf in general as well as Waythamoorthy in particular have demonstrated their sincerity, dedication as well as joining towards a onslaught of a minorities in a country."
Daniel felt which while a minorities collectively have up 45 per cent of a race in Malaysia, they do not form a "homogenous" block, unlike a Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia -- Bugis, Javanese, Minang, Acehnese as well as Indian Muslims, between others -- who were bound by a usual religion as well as an adopted language. All a some-more reason for a Ministry of Minority Affairs, according to Daniel, to have a stake in a Federal Government.
Hindraf may stick upon UBF, Usno underneath a Star symbol
United Borneo Front (UBF) as well as Star (State Reform Party) chairman, Jeffrey Kitingan, echoed Daniel's remarks. Daniel is additionally a Star emissary c! hairman. Both UBF as well as Usno (United Sabah National Organisation), an additional ad hoc movement, have been fielding candidates in a forthcoming 13th General Election underneath a Star symbol. That's a suspicion which Hindraf is reportedly considering as well in Peninsular Malaysia.
It's not startling which a Borneons have been upon board with Hindraf upon a Blueprint. Like a Indian Nation in Malaysia, they too have suffered huge taste over a last half century underneath a Umno regime.
In a box of a Borneons, they have been deprived of a benefits of Article 153 of a Federal Constitution by trait of their mostly being Christians. In addition, they have been fighting for their countries as illegal immigrants continue to inundate in as well as come in a electoral rolls by a back door as well as go upon to win "Instant Native" status.
Sabah as well as Sarawak, a World Bank confirmed in late 2010 in Kota Kinabalu, were a lowest territories in Malaysia. This is not something which a people bargained for when their leaders were steamrolled by a British as well as Malayans to drag their newly-independent nations -- Sarawak upon twenty-two July 1963 as well as Sabah upon 31 August 1963 -- in to Malaysia upon sixteen Sept 1963.
The Indians, similar to alternative non-Malays, were victimized by their bona fide interests not being famous as pledged by a 2nd Prong of Article 153.
Not even cendol licences for Indians
To supplement insult to injury, Article 153 was not cramped to a in accord with money coming in in a 4 specific areas viz. a polite service, institutions of aloft learning owned by a government, supervision scholarships, as well as opportunities from a supervision to do business. Umno not usually embarked upon a clean sweep orsapu bersihof these 4 specific areas exclusively for its members though unilaterally extended Article 153 in its flaw as well as exaggeration upon every aspect of h! old up i n Malaysia. As Hindraf Legal Advisor, P Uthayakumar, has noted, Indians can't get even a elementary license from a local authorities to sellcendol(coconut divert drink) from a tricycle by a roadside.
The roots of a crisis confronting a minorities in Malaysia, as highlighted in a Blueprint, have been executive laws -- supervision policies in action -- desirous by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany which targeted a Jews.
The Jews were increasingly tighten out from many areas of a manage to buy as well as were finally rounded up as well as sent to a gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Chelmno, Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor as well as Treblinka in a "Final Solution" devised by a Nazis.
Is it any consternation thus which Hindraf has raised a emanate of "ethnic cleansing" in Malaysia?
The cendol licences aside, a box in point is a actuality which a number of non-Malays as well as non-Muslims in a polite use has forsaken to less than 10 per cent during a last count earlier this year. At a time of independence for Malaya in 1957, Indians formed over 60 per cent of Division One polite servants. Today, a number of Indian Division One polite servants can be counted upon one's fingers, as well as there would be fingers to spare.
The bottomline is which a proposed Ministry, as worked out by Hindraf, is being touted as a key to reversing a damage done to a minority communities by assorted executive laws underneath a Mahathir Administration in particular.
Equal Right for All, Rights Not Mercy
Hindraf wants Article 153 scrapped as well as Equal Rights For All as pledged by a Federal Constitution. Hence, a movement's motto, "Rights, Not Mercy".
The transformation has no issues with a Orang Asal, a Orang Ali in Peninsular Malaysia, a Dayak in Sarawak or a Dusun as well as Murut in Sabah, getting a assisting hand from Government though not non-Orang Asal similar to a Malay-speaking! communi ties jumping upon a bandwagon. Hindraf does not see a Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia as carrying any some-more rights than alternative non-Orang Asal.
The Borneons agree which a 2nd Prong of Article 153, as enshrined in a Federal Constitution, should have been reputable as well as honoured by a Federal Government.
In addition, a Umno Government should not have extended Article 153 to every facet of hold up in Malaysia, a Borneons concede.
In supporting a Ministry of Minority Affairs, as mooted by Hindraf, a Borneons wish multiform issues tighten to their onslaught to be taken up as well as resolved.
Return of carry out of oil as well as gas to Sabah, Sarawak
For starters, a people of Sabah as well as Sarawak wish carry out of their oil as well as gas fields to be returned to them before they run dry within a next 15 years. The demand is formed upon a recommendation of a Sabah Law Association which a Petroleum Development Act (PDA), which facilitated a supposed oil agreement, is unconstitutional as well as thus a latter is null as well as void.
The fate of a PDA as well as a oil agreement naturally raises questions upon a basement upon which a Federal Government as well as Petronas, a inhabitant oil corporation, carried oil as well as gas from fields in Sabah as well as Sarawak given 1976.
BoPi MaFo has generally been outspoken upon a emanate of compensation, during 8 per cent per annum interest compounded yearly, "for all a oil as well as gas stolen from Sabah as well as Sarawak given 1976 by a Federal Government as well as Petronas".
Overall, a Borneons wish a benefaction revenue-sharing formula between Putrajaya, Kuching as well as Kota Kinabalu to be looked during again to simulate a autonomous standing of a two Borneo Nations in Malaysia.
The return of liberty would mean which a Federal Government should confine itself to usuall! y defenc e, unfamiliar affairs as well as inhabitant mercantile formulation as far as Sabah as well as Sarawak have been concerned.
Autonomy would be meaningless unless a Federation of Malaya stops masquerading as a Federation of Malaysia as well as a created Constitution of Malaya is no longer passed off as a created Constitution of Malaysia. Malaysia, Sabahans as well as Sarah pledge, has a phonetic Constitution formed upon a Batu Sumpah of Keningau, between alternative inherent papers together with a created Constitution of Malaya.
Then there's a emanate of Putrajaya statute Sabah as well as Sarawak by local proxies abetted by their stooges. The NGO's subsidy a local antithesis wish "the traitors, those who betrayed a people for 30 pieces of silver" to be brought to comment for their crime of preventing a climb of bona fide supervision in a Borneo Nations in Malaysia.
