“Sabah will mark and commemorate the 49th anniversary of Sabah Independence on 31 August 2012 with a convoy of vehicles from Tambunan starting at 7.30 am. to Keningau town where a parade will be held at the Town Padang commencing 8.30 am. The commemoration will end with a Luncheon cum Hari Raya Open House at the Restoran Pelancongan Pedalaman, Keningau at 12.00 noon” announced Dr. Nicholas James Guntobon, Organizing Chairman of the events in a press statement released today.
Although the commemoration will be held, it can be said that the festivities will be without joy if we look at the sad state of affairs inflicted upon Sabah since its independence in 1963.Independence of Sabah on 31 August 1963
However, it is important that the people of Sabah should be informed and enlightened of the actual history of Sabah and stop the twisting of the facts of history by our leaders to suit their political interests without consideration of the real and inconvenient truth that Sabah gained its independence on 31 August 1963.
Independence Day of a nation is one of the most important and celebrated event. Rightly, the Sabah government should celebrate Sabah Independence Day and should not bow to the imposition of the celebration of the 55th year of Malayan Independence which has no relevance or meaning for Sabahans.
Despite all the recent misgivings and public outcry on the non-recognition of Sabah Independence Day, it is sad that the Sabah government has failed to listen to the voice of the people and has failed to take any positive action to commemorate or recognize Sabah Independence Day this 31st August.
All Malaysians Invited for Sabah 49th Year Do
As a responsible organization and political party, STAR Sabah has no alternative not only to initiate the several planned events to commemorate Sabah Independence Day this 31st August but also to take an affirmative step to put things right regarding Sabah Independence and stop the nonsense of twisting the facts of history.
STAR Sabah take the opportunity to invite all Malaysians to attend the Independence commemoration events and share in the commemoration of this year’s Sabah Independence.

DeleteSince Malaysia obtained independence from the British, Malaysia has developed and progressed tremendously, both politically and socio-economically, and is today one of the most advanced, peaceful and prosperous nations in the world.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Sabah too has progressed well.
Deleteteruskan usaha untuk membangunkan rakyat dan negara ini.
DeleteSabah memang banyak membangun juga. Harap hari demi hari Sabah akan terus maju.
DeleteJANJI JOKE KA?
DeleteDON'T CONTINUE THE BIG LIE!
MALAYA INDEPENDENT FROM BRITISH COLONIAL RULE = 31 AUGUST 1957
SABAH "NOTIONAL (NOT NATIONAL) INDEPENDENCE" = 16 DAYS FROM 31 AUG 1963 TO 16 SEPT 1963...
IF INDEPENDENT WHAT IS THE NEED TO BE PART OF MALAYSIA- NOW ONE OF THE MOST BACKWARD COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD?
SABAH SARAWAK RAPED & ROBBED BY MALAYA & MADE THE POOREST MALAYAN COLONIES?
DE-COLONIZE & UNFEDERATE FROM MALAYA COLONIAL HEGEMONY!
Usaha untuk membangunkan Sabah harus diteruskan lagi.
DeleteWe can show the world that we are indeed worthy of what the founding fathers did for this nation. Like all countries, we, too, have had our ups and downs in our struggle for a better nation.
ReplyDeleteNo need to show the world, just show to ourselves that we are proud to be in here.
DeleteFortunately and thankfully, the country has been blessed with a good and responsible government that is peace-loving and forward-thinking.
ReplyDeletePeace is vital. That's how a country should live by.
DeleteThis, in a way, was greatly influenced by the spirit of oneness and brotherhood of the nation's founding fathers: Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Tun V.T. Sambanthan.
ReplyDeleteThe spirit of multi racial leaders and rakyats.
DeleteFORGET ABOUT SABAHANS & SARAWAKIANS...ONLY MALAYANS AAIYOH!
DeleteWE HAVE SPIRIT OF SEPARATENESS- SEPARATE FROM MALAYSIA.... HOORAAAY!
ReplyDeleteIn setting the nation free, our forefathers wanted the people to be truly independent, free, happy and successful.
semoga lebih banyak kejayaan akan dinikmati selepas ini.
DeleteSemua pun mengaharapkan agar negara serta negeri kita semakin kukuh dalam semua aspek bagi memastikan rakyatnya hidup sempurna.
DeleteBULLSHIT!
DeleteBRITISH SET MALAYA FREE NONE OF THE UMNO BN PEOPLE DID ANY FIGHTING AGAINST JAPANESE & BRITISH!
HAVING BEEN SET "FREE" THE UMNO DOGS TURNED ON SABAH & SARAWAK TO ENSLAVE & COLONISE THEM!
WHERE IS OUR FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE?
Hope that the truth about Sabah's independence will be put down in history books so that the younger generation will not forget it.

ReplyDeleteThey wanted us to excel and to love, help and protect each other in good times or bad, realise our potential and raise the country to greater heights.
As loyal and responsible citizens, we must live up to their legacy and fulfil the original Merdeka spirit.
ReplyDeleteIt is the Muhibah spirit among us that paved the way for a new nation that belongs to all races. All Malaysians can and must play a role in nation-building.
ReplyDeleteWe must make sure we never take the nation's peace, stability and prosperity for granted. We must continue to work together to boost unity and improve race relations. When we remember and celebrate Merdeka Day, the spirit of patriotism appears naturally.

ReplyDeleteBeing patriotic means loving and serving one's country in the best manner. It does not just mean waving the Jalur Gemilang, singing Negaraku, reciting the Rukun Negara or chanting the 1Malaysia slogan.
I agree with that. jadi, kalau hanya TIDAK mengibarkan bendera, jangan pula mempertikaikan bahawa orang tu tidak patriotik.
DeleteYang penting kita faham makna kemerdekaan dan berusaha mengekalkan keharmonian yang ada.
DeleteIt is the duty and responsibility of all quarters -- the government, the opposition, the people, politicians, police and security forces -- to put national interest and well-being above anything else.

ReplyDeleteMalaysia is a democratic country and it is important that its people know how to exercise their rights with responsibility and understanding. The people, especially politicians, public figures and community leaders, must agree to disagree, not be overzealous or say and do things that may hurt the nation.
Malaysians must reject violence, abuse of power, corruption, fanaticism, racialism, injustice and prejudice. National Day is all about national unity and oneness. It is this unity and oneness that will propel the nation forward.
A multiracial government must continue to lead the way for national good and success and to prove to the world we are indeed worthy of what the nation's founding fathers. The original Merdeka spirit, the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara must be our most cherished guides.
ReplyDeletesetiap daripada kita hrus menghargai keamanan dan keharmonian yang ada.
ReplyDeletesetuju dengan si, keamanan yang ada harus dikekalkan demi kebaikan semua.
ReplyDeleteUtamakan keharmonian sebab ia penting untuk kita semua hidup selesa. Ketepikan dulu pegangan politik dan sambutlah hari merdeka dengan jiwa merdeka.
ReplyDeleteRakyat harus mengamalkan perpaduan dan persefahaman memelihara keharmonian negara.
ReplyDeleteKemerdekaan dan Pembentukan Malaysia juga disambut dengan meriah. Inilah yang terbaik.
ReplyDeleteJangan pula politikkan isu Kemerdekaan. Hari yang mulia ini tidak harus dikaitkan unsur yang merosakkan perpaduan.
ReplyDeletesaya cuma sambut Hari Kemerdekaan MALAYSIA pada 31 August dan Hari Malaysia 16 September..
ReplyDeletesambutan Hari Malaysia sebenarnya cukup untuk mewakili kemerdekaan Sabah dan Sarawak.. kerana kita merdeka selepas bergabung dengan Malaysia.. sebelum bergabung, Sabah masih lagi dituntut oleh Indonesia dan Filipina..
