Berita ni merupakan tamparan hebat buat UMNO-BN

Sebenarnya masa saya kat Sarawak baru-baru ni pun sempat bersembang dengan beberapa orang sana yang turut mengakui Sarawak masih belum dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh kerajaan Malaysia.

Maksudnya mereka masih lagi ada pertalian dengan British dan memang sekali sekala pihak British akan datang ke Sarawak untuk membuat pemantauan dan mengambil tahu hal2 mereka… mungkin orang Sarawak sendiri boleh menjelaskan perkara ini….

GEORGE TOWN: A group of prominent politicians and social activists from East Malaysia are seriously contemplating pulling out Sabah and Sarawak from the Federation of Malaysia.

They are planning to take up their case to the United Nations to hold a referendum on the status of the Borneo states as independent nations.

They no longer want their states to be under the clutches of the Umno-led Putrajaya administration.

The group has already sought legal advice from the international community to explore all orderly and democratic means to legally declare Sabah and Sarawak as separate sovereign states.

Sources said the group was keen to avoid any civil unrest, bloodshed and armed conflict with the central government, features usually associated with separatist movements.

“They want to resolve the pressing issue by peaceful and civilised means,” said the source.

It’s learnt that about seven representatives from the group met London-based Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairman P Waytha Moorthy in Indonesia early this week to discuss the matter.

Sources close to the group said the activists sought Waytha Moorthy’s help to facilitate their imminent representation in the UN.

It’s learnt that Waytha Moorthy had agreed to assist them, with the help of several influential international organisations.

Waytha Moorthy recently facilitated a group of activists to air their grouses and grievances against the federal government at the UK Parliament.

‘Systematic looting and plundering’

The group of activists are deeply perturbed by the federal government’s alleged violations of the states’ rights, interests and benefits for more than four decades since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.

“The group is angry over the systematic looting and plundering of the states’ wealth by Umno and its cronies,” said a source.

Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore formerly joined Malaysia in 1963. However, Singapore left the Federation in 1965.

The Sabah and Sarawak activists believe that just like Singapore, their states too can pull out from Malaysia.

Sabah and Sarawak are two natural resources rich provinces in Malaysia, with massive wealth potentials in oil reserves and forestry.

However, Sabahans and Sarawakians are convinced that they have remained poor due to the federal government’s “manipulation and usurpation” of their power to self-determine their own affairs.

Unhappy over petro dollars

They are crying foul over the mere five percent royalty cut received for their own oil, while the Putrajaya administration “steals” 95 percent of petro dollars.

“People from both Sabah and Sarawak realise that they are being short-changed. They know there has been daylight robbery of their god-given richness,” said a source.

Another contentious issue is the existence of an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrants as rightful citizens in Sabah.

Sabahans termed the illegal immigrants, mostly Filipino and Indonesian Muslims, as former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s legacy.

“The government since under Mahathir has systematically brought in these aliens and granted them citizenships. These aliens are now legal MyKad holders in Sabah. It’s absolutely outrageous and ludicrous,” said the source.

The illegal immigrant issue in Sarawak is not as disturbing as in Sabah although it is equally damaging.

‘Raping of forest wealth’

The major issue in Sarawak is the “raping of state forest wealth” by the Umno-backed Taib Mahmud’s government at the expense of the indigenous population.

The natives are also disgruntled by the usurpation of their customary land rights by the authorities despite a recent apex court ruling against it.

Sabahans and Sarawakians are also said to be peeved with the “Malay-nisation and Islamisation” process of their states’ bureaucracy and political systems.

Activists claimed that the federal government had appointed native Muslims to helm various ministerial portfolios and government departments to hasten and fasten this process.

“These Muslim leaders and bureaucratic heads are puppets dancing to the tune played by their masters in Putrajaya,” said the source.

Saya terkejut bila baca Sinar Harian pagi ni yang bertajuk ‘Rakyat Malaysia di Jakarta diancam buluh runcing’ dan agak bingung memikirkan apa sebenarnya yang berlaku… di manakah silapnya sehingga berlaku sedemikian rupa? siapakah yang bersalah sebenarnya? atau adakah ini peringatan dari Allah untuk kerajaan Malaysia yang banyak dosa? Ikuti petikan Sinar Harian di bawah…

Rakyat Malaysia di Jakarta diancam buluh runcing

JAKARTA – Jabatan Penuntut Malaysia di sini, menasihati semua pelajar Malaysia di Indonesia supaya sentiasa berhati-hati memandangkan kebencian segelintir rakyat negara itu yang semakin memuncak berikutan penyebaran pelbagai fitnah oleh media massanya kebelakangan ini.

Jabatan itu menghantar khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS) bagi menasihati semua pelajar Malaysia di sini, agar jangan sekali-kali melalui Jalan Diponegoro bagi mengelak kejadian yang tidak diingini.

Kebencian mereka itu memuncak kepada tahap yang serius dan menakutkan berikutan media tempatan baru-baru ini menyiarkan berita dan visual lebih 360 sukarelawan ilmu kebal yang dilaporkan sudah mendaftar dan bersedia untuk mengganyang Malaysia.

Kebencian mereka itu memuncak lagi apabila hari ini terdapat sekumpulan orang yang menggelar diri mereka sebagai Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) mula bertindak liar dengan mengugut rakyat Malaysia dengan buluh runcing di Jalan Diponegoro.

Dilaporkan 50 anggota Bendera yang bersenjatakan buluh runcing (buluh yang ditajamkan hujungnya) memaksa orang ramai yang melalui jalan itu menunjukkan tanda pengenalan mereka dan jika kebetulannya orang berkenaan seorang rakyat Malaysia maka orang itu akan terus ditahan.

Sebelum ini pernah rumah kediaman yang disewa pelajar Malaysia di Universiti Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta dibaling telur busuk oleh kumpulan yang berdemonstrasi terdiri daripada sekumpulan mahasiswa tempatan kerana marahkan Malaysia yang difitnah sebagai mencuri tarian Pendet yang berasal dari Bali.

Berikutan isu itu yang terus diapi-apikan media massa tempatan dan dikaitkan pula isu lampau yang diungkit semula, beberapa kumpulan rakyat Indonesia juga berdemonstrasi di depan Kedutaan Besar Malaysia di sini.

Walaupun penafian dibuat bahawa Malaysia tidak pernah ‘mencuri’ tarian itu untuk iklan video klip promosi pelancongan negara yang sebenarnya dibuat sebuah syarikat swasta yang berpejabat di Singapura, namun hakikat itu ‘atuh ke telinga yang tuli dan mata yang buta’. – Bernama
