Like Anwar, Najib is ignorant about Sabah's autonomy - STAR

PUTATAN: The assurance by the Prime Minister that Sabah's autonomy is a non-issue because its provision is still intact "under the 20-Points of the Malaysia Agreement" is unacceptable because it misses the whole point about Sabah's autonomy, said State Reform Party (STAR).

STAR's State deputy chairman, Awang Ahmad Sah, who is contesting for the Putatan parliamentary constituency under the STAR's ticket, said in statement here that the Prime Minister seems to be as ignorant as PKR advisor Anwar Ibrahim on the matter of Sabah's autonomy.
 
"While Anwar said state autonomy is up to the federal to give and not according to the state's demand, Najib on the other hand said it is still in tact," AwangSah said. "I am flabbergasted that that Najib as the Prime Minister is again proven to be ignorant about our history. The day before that he said that we joined Malaysia and then became independent on September 16, 1963. Now he is saying our autonomy is still intact in the 20-Points of the Malaysia Agreement.

"The fact is that the 20-Points are not part of the Malaysia Agreement, but an agreement that contributed to the drafting of the Malaysia Agreement. And the PM of all people should know that many of the rights promised in the 20-Points have been hacked away because of Kuala Lumpur's interference in Sabah's governance over the decades.

"As a matter of fact, many of the promises in the 20 Points were never implemented, such as Borneonization and the rights of the state to collect its own revenues. Malayans still head 85% of federal departments and agencies in Sabah and this excludes other junior positions which are all filled by Malayans.

"What the PM and Anwar need to be reminded of is the fact that the autonomy for Sabah is not something for the federal government to decide, but something that was given as special conditions for Sabah's participation in the creation of the Malaysian federation. As our chairman, Dr. Jeffrey, had said, all that  have to be done with this autonomy is compliance and implementation, not to try to change its definition and beat around the bush with lies and deliberate ignorance to hoodwink Sabahans.

"Although the 20-Points had promised that we can collect and spend our own revenues, in 2012 alone, the Federal government collected RM24 billion from Sabah excluding other collections by other federal departments such as the Immigration Department, JPJ, and so on. In addition, under Tenth Schedule, Part IV, Section 2(1) of the Federal Constitution, the Federal Government is supposed to give back 2/5 (40%) of the nett revenue collected from Sabah, but this has been denied to us. Isn't this a case of daylight robbery and denial of our autonomy?.

"And what development is PM talking about?  He is contradicting his own BN Manifesto on development.   In the BN manifesto, BN pledges to build another 5,300 km of roads in Malaya but only 4,800km in Sabah and Sarawak comprising 2,300km in Sabah and 2,500km in Sarawak.  And PM acknowledges Kinabatangan is bigger than his Pahang state.  In fact, Sabah and Sarawak combined is more than 1.6 times the size of Malaya.  What about the existing more than 21,300 km sealed roads in Malaya compared to about 6,000 km of sealed roads in Sabah and Sarawak?  Shouldn’t the PM and BN be promising 20,000km of sealed roads in the Borneo states if BN wish to build another 5,300km of roads in Malaya?

"What autonomy are we talking about if in 2012, Sabah contributed  RM17.88 billion in oil revenue to Petronas (in addition to the RM24 billion from state revenue)?  When approving a water treatment project in Keningau, why must the Federal Government consider it a project funded by a federal loan of RM235 million?   If the PM means what he says on development, shouldn't the RM235-million water project be fully funded by the federal government?

"On security, it is very wrong for the PM to say that the people should be thankful to the BN government for providing peace and harmony.  The PM and BN government should instead be thankful to the people for choosing to live in peace and harmony in Malaysia unlike Muslim countries like Syria, Libya and Egypt who chose to take up arms against their governments.

"On the security, the PM should blame his predecessors for our insecurity in Sabah for making the people here feel unsafe.  The insecurity is caused by the Project IC and unwarranted issuance of ICs to unqualified foreigners and until today, the PM has not taken any action on these dubious ICs and the culprits behind their issuance where the evidence is overwhelming.  The process of Project IC is still on-going under Najib’s watch as PM. The bottom line is therefore this: the insecurity in Sabah is caused by the BN government for failing to oversee the proper implementation of the security forces. Because of this failure foreigners could easily come in and out of Sabah and Malaysia while the BN government is so obsessed with preventing the entry of politicians and activists like Tian Chua, Haris Ibrahim and the Australian parliamentarian."

AwangSah insists that what the PM has said were mere rhetoric to fish for votes in the coming GE13.  It is time for Sabahans to wake up from their 50-year slumber and vote and kick out the BN State and Federal governments and stop the continuous humiliation of Sabahans as the BN's "fixed deposit.”

    1. AUTONOMY OR INDEPENDENCE?

      SPAMMING IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH UNLESS YOU TALK SENSE!

      Brunei and Singapore are not in Malaysia because of "equal partnership" issues.

      They are both economically far better off than Sabah and Sarawak who achieved the honour of being the poorest "states" of Malaya.

      So the common sense question is why are Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia?.

      This recent comments were found in the net discusses all these issues.

      || Michelle Yeoh is paid one million ringgits a year from the tax payers money to ' promote' Malaysia. So her show of support of BN is more of a commercial decision. I doubt she will be in Malaysia or in its politic if not for all the commercial gain." Sarawak commentator.

      GOOD POINT!- But is it to promote Malaysian tourism or "politics"? If the second she is being bais.

      If you are getting all that taxpayer funded tax money you are comprised & obliged to sing their song.

      At least the Korean gangnam guy did make a choice when asked to stand with you know who & said "no' to BN-UMNO image polishing.

      Sarawak friends & compatriots- sad to say Sarawak & Sabah annually are forced to give some RM150 billion in oil & taxes as protection money for "security and prosperity in Malaysia".

      The “Federal 2012 Budget” was RM239 billion.

      No prize for guessing who are the 2 " rich countries" funding the whole of Malaysia.

      And what did we get back for being generous?

      "Sabah and Sarawak .... received a meagre RM9.55 billion". That is just 1/15th of what Malaya robbed them for . Where did all that money disappeared to?

      See the Tony Pua article on the 2012 budget! He points out how our people have been marginalised. http://dayaknation.org/blog/?p=75]

      Even with my so so maths I guesstimate that for the 50 unenviable years in Malaysia we were being robbed of RM5 trillion! Some are calling this Malaysia a "hell hole".... but our countries are not bottomless pits!

      We know that there is more unreported cash in trillions which has been stashed overseas by those are are monarchs of all they survey.

      Mariam Mokhtar in an article criticising our "great leader" made this interesting comment:

      "Najib might have to reconsider his soft approach with Taib. If he does not get rid of Taib, the calls for the cessation of Sarawak from Malaysia will grow louder, and this will imperil BN and place the finances of Malaysia in a precarious state."
      https://hornbillunleashed.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/45164/#comments

      Is Sarawak that important to Malaysia?!

      No wonder in 1965 when Singapore left over equal partnership issues, Sabah and Sarawak were not consulted and Najib recently declared these countries are forever part of Malaysia. The term "countries" is used because Malaysia was supposed to be 5 countries equal partners.

      [The original "Malaysia concept" died in 1963 when Brunei smartly refused to sign the Malaysia Agreement as UMNO wanted control of its oil and refused to accord equal partnership status to the Sultan. See Peter Quek's pithy article "Malaysia is dead when Singapore left the Federation in 1965"
      http://borneoherald.blogspot.com.au/2010/09/malaysia-is-dead-when-singapore-left.html#more]

      It explains why Sarawak & Sabah are at the bottom of the poverty sludge pit! We have been ripped off for 50 years when all that wealth could have done wonders for both these countries.

  6. Rahman seterusnya mempersoalkan apakah bentuk autonomi yang ingin diberikan oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim kepada Sabah.

  7. Katalah pembangkang menang dan katalah PKR mempunyai kerusi yang terbanyak di Sabah, saya nak tanya Anwar apakah beliau tidak akan masuk campur sekalipun untuk menentukan siapa Ketua Menteri di kalangan wakil rakyat PKR.

  8. Saya nak katakan jangan main lepas sahaja..kalau PKR menang Anwar berjanji tidak akan mempegaruhi siapa Ketua Menteri….Saya kira beliau tidak akan berjanji begitu. Sudah tentu sebagai Ketua Umum kepada PKR dia akan tentukan siapa Ketua Menteri Sabah pada waktu itu..

  9. Dari segi autonomi pula, Rahman seterusnya menambah memang tidak dapat dinafikan Sabah mempunyai autonominya sendiri. Sejarah pembentukan Malaysia ini memang diberikan kelebihan kepada Sabah dan Sarawak dan saya kira pada satu sudut kita juga mempunyai autonomi. "Saya kira orang tidak sedar.
