“Rahman Dahlan’s remarks
that Sabah and Sarawak joined the Federation as the 12th and 13th States of
Malaysia is a typical UMNO stand that not only reflect his lack of
understanding of history on the formation of Malaysia but confirms my opinion
that many of our Sabah leaders are mere stooges and proxies of Kuala Lumpur
leaders. These Sabah leaders, no longer have
the heart and desires to fight for the special rights and position of Sabah and
Sarawak in Malaysia.” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in
response to Dahlan’s statement published in the Daily Express and Borneo Post
yesterday.
One
cannot simply pick up a paragraph in the proclamation which mention Sabah and
Sarawak along with the States in Malaya that this makes the two independent
States as simply additions to the existing States of Malaya.
If
this was the case, then why bother to call it Malaysia?
Why
not simply add Sabah and Sarawak as States of Malaya?
Or
why did the British bother to give independence and
nationhood to Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah (North Borneo) before forming
Malaysia?
In fact,Tun Fuad was even quoted rejecting Malaysia should
Sabah and Sarawak be made the 12th/13th States saying:-
“IF
WE HAD BEEN ASKED TO JOIN MALAYSIA AT THE TIMEMALAYA ACHIEVED INDEPENDENCE AND
BRITAIN MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US, THE STORY WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT ONE.NOW
THAT “MERDEKA” HAS BEEN MALAYA’S FOR SOME YEARS. AND WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING TOWARDS IT,
MALAYA’S PROPOSAL THAT WE JOIN THE 12TH, 13TH AND 14TH STATESSAVOURS OF
IMPERIALISM, OF A DRIVE TO TURN US INTO MALAYAN COLONIES …..TO JOIN MALAYA,
WHILE WE ARE STILL COLONIES ….. THE IMPLICATION IS TO HAND (OURSELVES) OVER TO
YOUR CONTROL.”
Even Tunku Abdul Rahman was quoted in giving the assurance
that:-
“THE IMPORTANT ASPECT, OF THE MALAYSIA IDEAL AS I
SEE IT, IS THAT IT WILL ENABLE
THE BORNEO TERRITORIES TO TRANSFORM THEIR PRESENT COLONIAL STATUS TO SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR THEMSELVES AND
ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE IN MALAYSIA
SIMULTANEOUSLY.”
Dahlan
should also understand that Malaysia’s Constitution is supposed to be a
completely new Constitution and that Sabah and Sarawak promulgated their own
Constitution and national anthem which give clear indications that it is a
nation among a group of nations in a new Federation called Malaysia.
Who
are the other nations? Namely, Malaya,
Singapore and Sarawak.
These
nation States along with Britain signed the Malaysia Agreement, 1963 to form
the Federation of Malaysia based agreed terms and conditions and they had
nothing to do with the subservient unitary States of Malaya.
The
fact that the then proposed Federation was not to be a unitary State but to be
a new sovereign state within a family of nations was clearly set out in the
Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) Report which states:-
FEDERATION NOT UNITARY
All delegations acknowledge the desirability that all
component States should retain their identity and autonomy, the possibility of
Malaysia being formed as a unitary State was never considered.
FEDERATION DEFINED
“An association
of several Sovereign States with a central organ vested with powers directly over the citizens of the member State and in certain defined
circumstances over the member States
themselves. There would be a Central Government
and also State Governments, but
from the view point of international
law, the collection of States forming
the Federation would be recognized as one Sovereign State within a family of
nations.”
MP
Dahlan should therefore, find it in his heart to defend the position of Sabah
as a partner of four entities in forming the Federation with its autonomy and
special rights, which include him as beneficiary rather than run down our
struggles to restore these rights.
We,
in UBF and STAR, are prepared to give MP Dahlan and other Sabah UMNO/BN leaders
a full account of how Sabah had been
played out and down-graded from 1 of 4 equal partners to 1 of 13 states.
Baru tahu ne budak nama Rahman Dahlan dari Tuaran.. baca banyak sikit buku sejarah bah bukan main ikut saja apa Umno cakap...ptui
ReplyDeletesaya sekula sampai tahun 2 saja, tapi tau jg pasal kemerdekaan sabah.Saya malula ada pemimpin yg tdk tahu sijara saba.Dahalan mari kita sikula balik.ambil upsr.sana ada kana ajar tu.
DeleteSia pun sikul jarajah 3 sahaja tapi sa lagi pandai dari ini MP Kuta Bulud import dari anak sama Tuaran kalau sejarah Sabah atau North Borneo.. Mimang kita dulu sebuah negara itu fasal TYT kita dulu dipanggil Yang di-Pertua NEGARA dan kita ada sistem kabinet negara malah imigresen kita yang kuasa, begitu juga dengan pendidikan dan kesihatan bahkan kita ada autonomi hal kewangan TAPI pemimpin Kuala Lumpur dari dulu mahu tukar palana-palan ini barang dan sejarah supaya kita tidak mempunyai banyak kuasa autonomi sebab mereka tidak suka kita boleh cakap NO sama dia orang.. Ne Malaya ada otak penjajah, itu Rhman pura-pura tidak faham sebab dia mau piara kedudukan dia.
DeleteDulu yang selalu berdiri sebelah Tunku time PM ialah pemimpin Negara Sabah dan Sarawak tapi kemudian palan-palan dorang ketepi terutama masa Dr Mahathir diganti pemimpin MCA dan MIC pula di sebelah kanan kiri PM konon itu sahaja penduduk majoriti Malaysia.
Ingatkah kamu Mahathir pernah berkata tanpa Sabah dan Sarawak pun UMNO boleh memerintah Malaysia, time tu majoriti kerusi UMNO besar, Nah ketulahan juga sebelum mati, sekarang UMNO 50-50 sama Pakatan Rakyat di Semenanjungt, terpaksa Mahathir telan balik kata-katanya itu tiap malam terngiang-ngiang di anak telinganya sendiri.
Ini Sabah kalau memerintah sendiri paling kaya lah di Spouth-east Asia.. Tapi pemimpin macam Rahman tidak berjuang untuk kmerdekaan rakyatnya tapi untuk faham-faham saja lah..
kita perlu tahu sejarah tanah air kita, jadi tak jg kita terkeliru.
DeleteJangan main komen sahaja mengikut perasaan, harus tau sejarah tanah air kita..
DeleteSingapura.. masa itu salah satu negeri dalam malaysia, sama dengan Sabah dan Sarawak.. sebelum begabung, memang, Sarawak, Sabah dan Singapura merupakan negara.. selepas persekutuan Malaysia... semuanya jadi negeri... bezanya.. negeri2 di malaya merdeka serentak pada tahun 1957.
ReplyDeletehuhu ko pun sala bilajar sejarah ni tuan.buat kajian lg ah.
DeleteLoser big time
DeleteOdoi dogo... ramai pula orang Sabah ni buta sejarah NEGARA sendiri. Talampau lama kana cuci otak oleh TUAN MALAYA!
Deleteni lagi lah...paling salah...mengelirukan rakyat saja...
Deletesaya sekula sampai tahun 2 saja, tapi tau jg pasal kemerdekaan sabah.Saya malula ada pemimpin yg tdk tahu sijara saba.Dahalan mari kita sikula balik.ambil upsr.sana ada kana ajar tu.
ReplyDeleteCuba lihat perjanjian Malaysia 1963. Ia menyatakan bahawa
ReplyDeleteThe states of the federation of Malaysia adalah:
a) The States of Malaya namely... (11 negeri Malaya)
b) The Borneo States namely ... North Borneo & Sarawak; AND
c) The State of Singapore..
Maksudnya ada 4 states saja yg membentuk Federation of Malaysia iaitu a,b dan c..
Betul 1000%.
Deletememang betul...
DeleteSabah dan Sarawak bukan negeri ke-12 dan negeri ke-13, kita sama taraf dengan Malaya.
ReplyDeleteTanpa Sabah dan Sarawak, Malaya sudah mati kebuluran.
Deletememang sama taraf...entah siapa yang pandai2 kasi ubah...
DeleteAda yang telebih pintar tu, tu lah pasal faktanya pandai berubah:P
DeleteHarap kerajaan akan menunaikan perjanjian Malaysia itu.
DeleteKami berhak menikmati yang sama seperti semenanjung.
Deletejadi perjuangkan hak2 dan kepentingan kita.
DeleteEntah mana yang belum, sana cakap lain, sini cakap lain... Rakyat yang tersepit. Pembangkang cuba kelirukan rakyat.
DeleteKenyataannya sekarang, Sabah sudah jadi salah satu negeri di Malaysia.
DeleteSemoga kerajaan Persekutuan akan menghormati hak Sabah dan Sarawak.
ReplyDeletekalau perjanjian 20 perkara dihormati dan ditunaikan sepenuhnya, barangkali tidak akan timbul ni isu..
DeleteEntalah susah juga mahu cakap. Syukur saja Sabah masih juga membangun walaupun tak sepesat mana.
DeleteDengan kekayaan sumber Sabah, Sabah patut jauh lebih maju. Adakah sebab segala urusan dibuat oleh orang2 semenanjung maka sebahagian besar keuntungan dibawa ke sana dan Sabah ambil peratus kecil saja?
DeleteProjek pembangunan di Sabah memang positif, SDC adalah contoh yang baik.
DeleteYang penting sabah semakin membangun, biarpun masih banyak lagi yang boleh di perbaiki..
DeleteBersyukur apa yang ada, perbaiki apa yang lemah, tuntut perkara yang masih belum ditunaikan.
DeleteBawa pigi Mahkamah Antarabangsa bah... cakap saja tiada guna. Minta tulung itu Boritis... bakas TUAN KITA...
ReplyDeletedulu macam ada pihak yang mahu bawa pigi mahkamah antarabangsa...jadi macamana sudah tu? gimik saja kah?
DeleteBiasalah kalau hangat-hangat tahi ayam... Cakap saja tinggi tapi tak juga pandai tercapai. adidi..
DeleteJust be patient on the International Court action.. It is under process, perhaps in London Court first o even in Malaysian Court like the Borneonisation court case in KK High Court now..
DeleteBut once a Borneon party that has Borneo Agenda in its mind takes over the state government, we will make sure that state government act on behalf of us to sue the Federal in the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Will the Borneon party that is said to has 'Borneo Agenda' really protect our rights? I'm afraid once they win, all they do is busy enriching themselves.
Deletesekejap sejarah macam ni, sekejap macam tu...ahli2 politik malaysia memang buta sejarah kah atau pura2 buta? selaku pemimpin baik kerajaan atau pembangkang, fakta sejarah tidak harus dimanipulasi...buat malu kepada negara asing saja..
ReplyDeleteRakyat pun semakin keliru pasal sejarah kita. Harap kebenaran akan dijelaskan kepada semua.
DeleteDekat pilihan raya baru persoalan sejarah timbul. Pemimpin yang terdahulu tidak pernah utarakannya? Atau mereka memang tidak sedar apa2?
DeleteMau dekat PRU.. ahli potik pembangkang pun jadi pengkaji sejarah sudah..tau semua benda...
DeleteSebab itulah kalau nak bercakap tu fikir dulu sehabis mungkin baru cakap. hehehe
ReplyDeleteKita harus bihak menilai hal seperti ini. Pastikan kita undi atau buat keputusan yang tepat next GE nanti.
ReplyDeleteSimon Sipaun mahu membawa perkara ini kepada Queen Elizabeth's counsel untuk mengadili perkara ini.
DeleteWhat is the progress at the moment? This issue is over long standing. Will any action being taken or remain as question to everybody?
DeleteUrghh hate when the history is being politicized for some people's sake. Don't know who is being true and who is not. Stop lying and confusing the rakyat.
ReplyDeleteThe real problem is that a referendum was never held in Sabah and Sarawak in 1963 on Malaysia. Today, Putrajaya rules Sabah and Sarawak through their local proxies (local Muslims and illegals) who are supported by their stooges (local non-Muslims including the Orang Asal). Taib Mahmud is the chief proxy of Putrajaya in Sabah/S'wak. Rahman Dahlan is just a proxy. So, of course he will say things like the Malaysia Agreement is not valid, Sabah the 12th state in Malaysia etc
ReplyDeleteUntuk makluman semua, Akta Malaysia diluluskan oleh Parlimen Malaya pada 16 September 1963 untuk menubuhkan Malaysia. Dibawah adalah 2 bahagian dalam Akta Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteDi bahagian:
PART H
THE STATES OF THE FEDERATION
4. (1) The Federation shall be known, in Malay and in English, by the name Malaysia.
(2) The States of the Federation shall be—
(a) the States of Malaya, namely, Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor and Trengganu ; and
(b) the Borneo States, namely, Sabah and Sarawak ; and
(c) the State of Singapore.
Di seksyen 5, Akta tersebut:-
"Governor" means the Head of State, by whatever style known, in a State not having a Ruler (and in particular includes the Yang di-Pertua Negara in Sabah and the Yang di-Pertuan Negara in Singapore);
Akta Malaysia adalah untuk membentuk Malaysia. Jadi, adalah nyata di seksyen 4, Malaysia terdiri daripada States of Malaya, Borneo States dan Singapura.
Dalam seksyen 5, nyata Governor Sabah adalah Yang DiPertua Negara. Ini bermaksud Sabah sebuah negara.
Ini lah sejarah sebenar. Kalau maseh tidak percaya, pergi tengok di Parlimen atau di Perpustakaan Mahkamah Tinggi, Kota Kinabalu.
I really don't know where this is heading at.
ReplyDeleteSenang sahaja.
DeletePulihkan Sabah sebagai Negara
Kembalikan Hasil dan Hak Rakyat Sabah.
Semua itu dalam Borneo Agenda yang diperjuangkan oleh STAR Sabah.
Dengar lagu BORNEO AGENDA yang dilancarkan oleh STAR Sabah.
Perjuang Star untuk Sabah?? bukan untuk JK?
DeleteWe can only disagree to eventually agree at a point.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is failure to understand ourselves as one.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to learn more about our history.
ReplyDeleteI think there are some lack of understanding from history here.
ReplyDeleteStudy well to be approve of history.
ReplyDeletesejarah haruslah difahami dengan sebaiknya.
DeleteThe problem is not learning history or understanding history.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is that our history has been distorted.
Malaysia never existed before 1963 and was only formed on 16 Sept 1963 (Malaysia Day) when the States of Malaya (comprising 11 states), Sabah (then North Borneo), Sarawak and Singapore agreed to form the Federation of Malaysia.
This is an undisputed historical fact. There is no question of independence for Malaysia as it was not in existence and never colonized.
Officially, this year will see the 55th celebration of Merdeka.
However, come 16 Sept 2012, Malaysia will only be 49 years old.
Malaysia Day was never officially recognized until 2 years ago.
Why is this important day covered up as though it never existed?
Isn't it time that we correct history as it has been twisted and celebrate Malaysia for its 49th year this year?
How to study well on history if the distortion continues?
kekeliruan harus dibetulkan.
ReplyDeleteyang penting hak dan kepentingan rakyat Sabah harus dijaga dengan sebaiknya.
ReplyDeleteSelepas 10 tahun Sabah menyertai Malaysia, dan sehingga kini, 48 tahun Sabah Merdeka didalam gagasan Malaysia . Sabah tidak pernah lagi berdepan dengan satu situasi cemas yakni tidak berlaku konfrontasi antara rakyat Sabah kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan. Kehidupan harmonis menjadi pegangan utama rakyat Sabah dan inilah bukti mengapa pada tempoh tersebut tidak ada pungutan suara untuk mengkaji semula Perjanjian Malaysia.
Deletebila mau dekat PRU ada saja yang timbul, jadi kita perlu menilai dengan bijak.
ReplyDeletebila dekat pru ada saja isu tu..yang penting buatlah penilaian dengan sebaiknya.
DeleteApa yang lebih penting kepentingan rakyat tidak di abaikan.
ReplyDeletesetuju dengan connie, kepentingan rakyat harus diutamakan. itu yang penting.
ReplyDeleteSTAR tidak perlulah banyak cakap dulu. Buktikan mampu atau tidak menawan hati rakyat.
ReplyDeleteJK..Penduduk Sabah kenal siapa JK sebenarnya. Tidak mustahil juga STAR akan kehilangan JK juga nanti. Kerana kita perlu tahu yang mana JK adalah antara pemimpin yang suka berpindah rendah.
ReplyDeletesemua pemimpin2 politik pun cuma bikin kasi keliru rakyat saja ba ni.. macam mana pula dalam akta Malaysia yang perjanjian dokumennya ditandatangani di London menjelaskan bahawa Sabah bergabung sebagai negeri bukan negara??
ReplyDeleteSabah bukan sahaja hidup aman damai tetapi kini mengecapi nikmat pembangunan infrastruktur secara berperingkat2 dan ini adalah usaha bersama di antara Kerajaan Negeri dan Kerajaan Persekutuan.. lebih baik pemimpin2 pembangkang memfokuskan kritikan mereka untuk kebaikkan masa depan Sabah, bukan menimbulkan kekeliruan berkenaan dengan sejarah pembentukan Malaysia..
ReplyDeleteToday, I went to the beach front with my kids.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
