Sabah will lose more rights, voice in parliament

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah and Sarawak are not ready for the one-vote-one-value voting system which will see both states’ presentation in parliament reduced by 15%.

Currently Sabah’s 25 and Sarawak’s 31 parliamentary seats make up 25% of the 222 seats in parliament

Agreeing with Upko Kota Belud deputy chief Ewon Benedict, UK-based Borneo Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPiMaFo) chairman Daniel Jambun warned that a redelianation of boundaries will further erode Sabah and Sarawak’s position as equal partners in the federation.

Benedick had reportedly said that  981,814 voters in Sabah and 1,083,972 voters in Sarawak were involved in the recent general election. This he said comprised 15%  of the total 13,268,007 voters in Malaysia.

“If we adopt the one-vote-one-value system, then the people of Sabah and Sarawak must be ready to accept its consequences,” Benedict had said.

Adding to Benedict’s comment, Jambun said any proposed redelineation of electoral boundaries must strictly adhere to the spirit of the Malaysia Agreement.

“Sabahans are very worried that after this exercise Sabah and Sarawak will lose more rights and voice in Parliament.

“This is because the exercise can be another federal manipulation with gerrymandering after which Sabah and Sarawak will lose more leverage as Borneo states,” Jambun said.

He said that consistent with the spirit of the 20 Points, both states should have 34% of the parliamentary seats, and it is for this reason that  Sabah and Sarawak must never surrender any seat – parliament or state seat – to any Malayan-based parties, but defend it by all means.

“Local opposition based party must unite and fight for their rights consistent with the Malaysia Agreement, the 20 Points, the IGC Report and the Oath Stone, both in letter and spirit.

“Allowing any seats to be contested by KL parties tantamount to surrendering the rights of the Bornea states.

“But as it is now, most of these seats have been robbed by KL-based parties — Umno, MCA, and Gerakan from BN, and DAP and PKR from PR (Pakatan Rakyat).

“Any seat transferred to a Peninsula-based party will be our serious loss because the parliamentarians will not be able to speak firmly for Sabah, simply because they have to toe the line with their Malayan political bosses,” he said.

Jamubun pointed out that the “very purpose” of the existing 34% seats that Sabah and Sarawak have is “to enable us to veto any negative laws thatKuala Lumpur may decide to impose on the Borneo states.”

“What we are worried about is that the federal government may be ignorant about Sabah rights as stated in the many documents such as the Malaysia Agreement the 20 Points, the Cobbold Commission Report and even the Oath Stone.

“This worry is strongly founded by the fact the during the recent campaign, the Prime Minister was making statements betraying his ignorance of Sabah history and Sabah rights.

“For example he, just like the PKR supremo (Datuk Seri) Anwar Ibrahim, didn’t know that Sabah’s autonomy was a special arrangement promised before the formation of Malaysia.

“If the federal leaders are still this ignorant, or feigning ignorance, then we are bound to lose a lot more with this redelineation exercise.

“There is also the real danger that the Barisan Nasional will use this exercise to strengthen its grip on the two states, which it considers to be its fixed deposits,.” he said.

  44. Melihat kepada keadaan ini, media Barat dan suara-suara pelobi Yahudi yang dahulunya kuat menyokong agenda Anwar sudah mudah menarik diri secara perlahan. Umpamanya pendedahan bekas Naib Presiden Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla mengenai sikap Anwar yang mungkir janji terhadap perjanjian beliau dengan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, menyerlahkan lagi kepada pihak Barat bahawa beliau bukannya seorang individu yang boleh dipercayai untuk menjayakan agenda mereka.

  45. Sikap Anwar yang sukar berpegang apa-apa janji yang dibuat menyukarkan lagi pihak Barat yang selama ini mendokongnyya dari segi moral dan material untuk terus berbuat demikian. Malah tindakan Jusuf untuk membuat pendedahan pengkhianatan Anwar terhadap janji tersebut melalaui akhbar berpengaruh Wall Street Journal sebenarnya mempunyai mesej yang tersirat.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Bagi Barat Anwar kini dilihat lebih banyak liabilitinya daripada faedah untuk terus menyokong beliau. Mungkin mesej yang ingin disampaikan oleh Jusuf telah difahami mereka lalu tidak lama setelah temuramah WSJ, majalah Economist yang dianggap jurucakap Barat menyuarakan sentimen bahawa pada usia 66 tahun, masa tidak lagi menyebelahi Anwar untuk menerusikan kempennya bagi pihak Barat.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Malah Economist melihat masa depan politik Anwar semakin malap apabila beliau gagal memimpin pakatan pembangkang menumbangkan BN. Barat melihat kegagalan Anwar pada PRU13 sebagai bukti kukuh bahawa harapan yang mereka sandarkan kepada beliau sejak 40 puluh lalu tidak membuahkan hasil yang diharapkan.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sejak 1998 ketika Anwar dipecat, pihak Barat dilihat begitu kuat menyokong agenda reformasi beliau sehingga media Barat tidak segan silu menganggap bekas pemimpin Abim itu sebagai 'West's best ever friend' atau kawan paling akrab Barat. Mungkin pada masa itu Barat memandang rendah kemampuan BN di bawah mantan Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad untuk bertahan dan yakin Anwar mampu menumbang kerajaan melalui rusuhan jalanannya.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Namun jangkaan Barat pada ketika itu meleset kerana Anwar terus dihumban ke dalam penjara Sg Buloh tetapi tetap lagi berharap akan kejayaan anak emas mereka itu. Setelah dibebaskan pada 2004 dan bergiat semula pada 2008, Anwar terus menjanjikan kejayaan kepada Barat bahawa beliau akan menjadi Perdana Menteri akhirnya tetapi pada 2013 juga cubaannya gagal.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Ini adalah usaha terakhir beliau dan besar kemungkinan tidak ada lagi peluang seterusnya untuk merealisasikan impiannya. Mungkin juga pihak Barat kini sedang mengintai-intai siapa tokoh politik di kalangan pembangkang yang boleh dibela bagi kepentingan mereka di rantau ini namun yang pasti ia bukan lagi orang yang bernama Anwar.
