The Lahad Datu deadlock by Sulu intruders upon government as good as skill rights in Sabah recalls that Malaysia, in 1963, was touted by the British, Malayan as good as Singapore Governments as an next to partnership of Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya, Singapore as good as Brunei.
That's far from being the box today.
The past has finally caught up with Malaysia's unsure sovereign government, right away led by embattled Prime Minister Najib Razak as good as his Umno-BN coalition, as good as will haunt the destiny in Sabah.
There's no approach that Malaysia can take upon the Sulu people as good as alternative bootleg immigrants in Sabah as good as win as the experience of Manila in the Philippines south shows. Lahad Datu-type incidents in Sabah, if they recurr or keep recurring, will be Putrajaya's Achilles Heel in Sabah. Malaysia, the Filipinos know, is the paper tiger with two submarines in Sabah that couldn't acknowledge them. They consider that Malayans will not quarrel to urge or keep
Sabah. But some-more upon the confidence aspects in the while.
Sabah. But some-more upon the confidence aspects in the while.
First, the small walk down mental recall line in joining the dots that has led up to this High Noon moment in Lahad Datu.
The Brunei Sultan rejected the thought of Malaysia during the 11th hour though did not, during the same time, stand up for Sabah as good as Sarawak.
Singapore was diminished from Malaysia in 1965 though Sabah as good as Sarawak, the facilitators, were not authorised to exit in turn. The Singapore Government maintained the discreet silence upon the emanate after momentari! ly toyin g with the thought of another Federation with Sabah, Sarawak as good as Brunei to reinstate Malaysia. This thought is still worth posterior given Malaysia has been beaten upon all counts by Singapore. It had to substantially surrender the Iskandar Development Region in southeast Johore to the city state as good as island republic.
Sabah, in eventually restoring the autonomy of 31 Aug, 1963, cannot embody the bootleg immigrants already in this Nation in Borneo. The bootleg immigrants, either from Sulu or elsewhere, entered Sabah after independence.
In any case, Lahad Datu contingency not mean removing in to rhetoric, polemics as good as formulating issues in brawl and/or issues in unconstrained brawl upon Sabah.
We need to be cut as good as dusty to get solutions as good as not be side-tracked by the governing body of distraction as good as disruption.
No referendum in Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, Malaya
The fewer issues there are, and/or fewer not pertinent as good as vaporous matters, the improved towards an eventual solution.
Again, as good as therefore, the concentration in the arise of Lahad Datu should be upon the bearing of the thesis statement upon Sovereignty, skill rights of foreigners as good as Referendum:
(1) the actuality that the Sovereignty of Sabah rests with the people. This Sovereignty, to criticise the point, has never been transferred to Brunei, Sulu, Spain, Britain, the Philippines or Malaysia;
(2) the defunct Sulu Sultan had no as good as has no in isolation or open skill rights to Sabah or to tools of Sabah and/or no in isolation skill rights in Sabah or in tools of Sabah. The Brunei as good as Sulu sultanates extorting tolls from the terrified trade along the waterways in northern as good as eastern Sabah, by no means confers, skill rights or territorial rights upon the extortionists; and
(3) the ac! tuality that no Referendum was held in Sabah, or for that make the difference in Sarawak, Malaya or Brunei, upon Malaysia.
The emanate is clear: Sabah's autonomy of 31 Aug, 1963 stays as the solitary indicate of self-determination as good as should be reputable as good as celebrated by All, the UN, the UN Security Council as good as the general community. The pretenders to the throne of defunct Sulu Sultanate should take note as well.
Sabah needs to revive this autonomy if Malaysia cannot be salvaged as an next to partnership of Sabah, Sarawak as good as Malaya. This salvaging contingency be subject to apart Referendums upon Malaysia -- as good as excluding the bootleg immigrants -- in Sabah, Sarawak as good as Malaya. Again, the bootleg immigrants from Sulu in Sabah cannot be partial of this process, explain or no claim.
Lahad Datu-type incidents can degenerate in to "civil war"
The bootleg immigrants in Sabah either from Sulu or elsewhere, cannot too be partial of any decision to revive the nation's autonomy in the event that Malaysia cannot be salvaged by Referendum.
They would have to lapse to their home countries assisted by the UN as good as return, if they wish, with valid transport papers released by their respective countries.
None of the bootleg immigrants in Sabah can sojourn in this Borneo Nation as demanded by the intruders concerned in the on-going Lahad Datu deadlock upon interest of the bootleg immigrants from Sulu.
Still, the Lahad Datu event or any subsequent identical incident can simply degenerate in to the Syria-style "civil war" incident -- despite in between illegals as good as locals -- where the UN as good as Malaysia will be helpless. The only locals who will join the bootleg immigrants have been the Suluk as good as Bajau, already screaming marginalisation as good as disenfranchisement by the continuing liquid in particular of the non-Sulu bootleg immigrants. < div> If the Moros can quarrel the Philippines Gov't for so long, the intruders from Sulu can take up arms opposite Sabah as well.
Security incident in Philippine south, Thai south, Sabah similar
It might be payback time as good for Manila in Sabah upon another dimension, for the long-running Muslim rebellion in the Philippine south, unless Putrajaya backs the Philippines Government in the brawl with China upon the Spratly islands, the large partial of that belongs to Sulu as good as the Sulu-claimed areas in Sabah.
Can Malaysia urge Sabah when the rebels in the Philippines south have all along been using this Nation as the protected haven for arms as good as group with Putrajaya seeking the alternative approach in the wink-wink attribute with them, evidently in the interests of "Muslim brotherhood".
The confidence incident in the Philippines south parallels that in the Thai south as good as by extension in Sabah.
No member state of the UN, under the Charter, can rivet in acts -- either covertly or sincerely -- that compromise the government as good as territorial firmness of another member state of the world organization for assent as good as security.
What if the Sulu people seize tools of Sabah, for the start, by force? When push comes to shove, people who have nothing to remove have been capable of anything. We live in desperate times!
The intruders have already seized, for all practical purposes, the encampment in Lahad Datu where the event continues. And nonetheless the Police have seen it fit to keep the Army out of the picture to keep up pretences upon the confidence situation. The Police have no business receiving upon armed foreigners invading the country.
No the single thinks that they will behind down but bloodshed. Heaven forbid! They have already stated that they will not leave Sabah. They have substantially stockpiled even some-m! ore weap ons all over Sabah to call the Suluks from in between the bootleg immigrants in Sabah to arms. They will substantially be joined by mercenaries from in between alternative bootleg immigrants who already fear for their destiny in Sabah.
Muslims in Sabah, Sulu feel tricked by Putrajaya
Again, it's no tip that the long-running fight opposite the Philippines Government was fuelled by arms as good as group available from protected havens in Sabah combined by denying the Orang Asal the right to rule Sabah. During the Mustapha Government, the arms came from Libya's Muammar Ghadafi. That's because Manila had to eventually bring Putrajaya in to the assent process in the Philippine south as good as as the facilitator.
Sulu, identical to the internal Suluks as good as Bajau in Sabah, patently right away feel tricked rightly or wrongly by Putrajaya.
How will the gentle-natured Sabahans urge themselves opposite the battle-hardened people of Sulu?
The authorities should control the state-wide poke for bootleg weapons held by foreigners in Sabah.
RCI the straw that pennyless the camel's back
The Orang Asal in particular should form vigilante groups to strengthen their villages in defending the Sovereignty of Sabah as good as to emphasize that the defunct Sulu Sultanate had no as good as has no in isolation skill rights to Sabah or tools of Sabah and/or in isolation skill rights in Sabah or in tools of Sabah. It's doubtful that the internal Suluk as good as Bajau would be celebration to any Sulu venture in to Orang Asal domain in the Sabah High Country.
This is the domain that the Brunei as good as Sulu sultans avoided identical to the disease during their rapine days along the northern as good as eastern coasts.
This is the domain that the Brunei as good as Sulu sultans avoided identical to the disease during their rapine days along the northern as good as eastern coasts.
Even so, Sabahans should not take things for granted. They cannot rest too much either upon Putrajaya that has failed to strengthen their! Nation given Malaysia in 1963. There have been no guarantees that Malaysia's token forces in Sabah would not rush with their tails in between their legs to Sarawak for dear life. This is an appalling failure of comprehension as good as blind trust as good as faith in the rebels in the Philippines.
Better protected than sorry!
The current confidence incident in Sabah was brought about in partial by the revelations during the on-going Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI), not only the assent agreement in the Philippines south leaving out the Sulu supposed claimants to Sabah, as alleged in the Manila press citing apologists for the single of the claimants to the defunct Sulu Sultanship as good as who is concerned in the Lahad Datu deadlock in in between dialysis sessions in Manila,
reportedly paid for by the Philippines Government. The RCI was the proverbial straw that pennyless the camel's back.
reportedly paid for by the Philippines Government. The RCI was the proverbial straw that pennyless the camel's back.
We will get the true picture when the Police fail in Lahad Datu as good as the Army moves in.
Dangerous precedent
The Police, it contingency be noted, were rebuilt to occupy beast force opposite unarmed as good as pacific people, who wanted to witness Hindraf Makkal Sakthi handing over the Memorandum Seeking Legal Aid to the British High Commission upon 25 Nov, 2007, opposite participants in the pacific mid-Feb 2008 Rose Rally in Putrajaya as good as opposite the participants in the assorted Bersih rallies.
In Lahad Datu, they have been humbling themselves upon bended knees, cringing as good as grovelling,and speaking in soothing voices as good as whispers with the armed intruders in Lahad Datu, in literally begging as good as imploring them teary-eyed to lapse to the circuitously Sulu Islands in the Philippines. Probably, Putrajaya will chuck in loads of money as good from Petronas for the intruders.
Nothing could be some-more telling.
The dangerou! s fashio n in Lahad Datu will create some-more identical situations in Sabah in the nearby destiny for Putrajaya that has prolonged ridden the Sulu tiger in the Philippines south as good as Sabah. The Sulu intruders have been by with abduction ordinary Sabahans for ransom. The Sulu tiger will eventually lapse with Putrajaya inside it as good as the grin upon the face.
