Persidangan Dewan Rakyat yang bersidang pada April tahun 2012 lalu telah meluluskan penggubalan Rang Undang-Undang Laut Wilayah 2012. Menurut Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz semasa sesi penggulungan rang undang-undang ini, telah mengatakan sebab penggubalan undang-undang tersebut adalah kerana memandangkan tiada undang-undang persekutuan lain yang menetapkan lebar laut wilayah Malaysia selain daripada Ordinan N0.7 1969 yang dibuat di bawah Proklamasi Darurat 1969 dan Akta Zon Ekonomi Ekslusif 1984 (Akta 311).
Brunei, Sulu sultans had no territory to cede to British North Borneo Chartered Company
By Joe Fernandez
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN : It's interesting that your reader Mr Chong Tet Loi should write in the DE Forum on Sunday 3 Feb, 2013 -- "Ancestors of Migrants came via front door" -- that the Brunei and Sulu Sultans ceded territory in Sabah to the British North Borneo Chartered Company and/or its predecessors.
I beg to differ.
The westerners found early on that their idea of territory and land ownership was not as practised by many other cultures especially the Islamic, the Maori and Indians (America).

| Malaysia Today editor blasts Umno for its distorted version of the country's history and debunks its claim of having fought for independence |
CAMBRIDGE: Raja Petra Kamarudin debunked Umno’s version of Malaysian history and detailed Tunku Abdul Rahman’s sorrow at the destruction of his vision of a multiracial Malaysia, when he spoke at Cambridge University South East Asia Forum (CUSEAF), first Lent term event on Wednesday evening.
Within a stone’s throw of the Tunku’s alma mater, St Catherine’s College Cambridge, Raja Petra told the audience of 90 people, comprising mainly students in their 20s that, “the Tunku used to say he was the happiest PM in the world, but in a later interview, said, ‘I wish I had died earlier…living to this age and seeing my fellow Malayans killing one another. It saddens me. This is not what I planned for my country.’”
According to the Malaysia Today editor, the Tunku died a heartbroken man and neither spoke to, nor forgave the person whom he blamed as the architect of the mess – Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Amalillo, a ‘distant relative’, says Musa
 |
| Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman wants the authorities to investigate alleged conman Manuel Armillo and "take the necessary action" – relative or not. |
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman whilst denying allegations that he prevented the deportation of a suspected Sabah conman involved in scamming 15,000 investors of RM895 million in the Philippines, confessed that Manuel Karingal Amalillo is a “distant relative”.
“The arrest of a man named Manuel Amalilio (seated third from left) reached me like it reached most people, through the news.
“I have a large family and I have just recently been informed that this individual is a distant relative.
‘It’s too late for Sabah Umno, BN’
 |
| BN leaders in Sabah can chastise the opposition as much as they want in order to serve their peninsular master, but their end is nearing, says opposition STAR. |
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Barisan Nasional’s ‘incessant holler’ and attacks on opposition parties especially the State Reform Party (STAR) has not deflected grassroots perceptions of the BN’s unworthiness.
In fact the more BN leaders defend the alleged wrongdoings of their Umno-BN bosses and justify the coalition’s continued presence in Sabah, the more compelling the need to boot them out, claims STAR chief Jeffrey Kitingan.
In a statement lambasting state BN secretary Abdul Rahman Dahlan for hitting at the opposition’s insistence on the Borneo Agenda which includes Sabah becoming a nation ‘within’ Malaysia, Jeffrey said the current ‘domination’ by the peninsular was “morally wrong’

Dompok scares Christians with hudud
 |
| Support for Barisan Nasional is plunging and religion seems to be the only weapon left to fight the war against Pakatan Rakyat in Sabah and Sarawak. |
PENAMPANG: Embattled Upko chief, Bernard Dompok, has raised the “Islamic state” bogeyman to scare Christians in Sabah and Sarawak into voting for the ruling Barisan Nasional in the coming general election.
Worried that support for Upko (United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation) and the ruling coalition is plunging, Dompok warned the Christian community in both states that voting in BN would prevent the shift towards a more Islamised country as desired by opposition PAS, a partner in the Pakatan Rakyat pact.

Malaysian MPs and the barber story
Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.
One
day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked
about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you,
I'm doing community service this week.'
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When
the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank
you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Do you trust Jesus?
Ironically, a person like Ibrahim Ali provides a platform for Christians to become better Christians. Let me explain.
Have you ever wondered why when Jesus wanted to liberate Israel from tyrannical Rome (the government during his time)?
Instead of asking Rome to change, he sought to persuade Israel to change? Jesus felt that without the change of hearts in Israel itself, liberation in any form is impossible.
Jesus, at great length, explained that the resentment and bitterness that his fellow brethren carried in their hearts was nothing short of suicidal.
In fact he suggested that they be smart and read the signs of the times (e.g. in Luke 12:54-56) and not to follow the Zealots.
Anwar should redeem himself in Sabah
By Joe Fernandez
It’s unlikely that Anwar had anything to do with the tainted electoral rolls in Sabah and with good reasons too. The modus operandi on the MyKad scam in Sabah, by all accounts, was in operation long before he became Umno Deputy President, Sabah Umno head and Deputy Prime Minister.
Indeed, it might even have begun shortly after Malaysia in 1963. The suspicion stems mainly from the number of people classified as Malays, not recognised as a Native Group, in Sabah.

Anwar before RCI will be High Noon
By Joe Fernandez
It can be safely assumed that the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) in Sabah will find it extremely difficult not to take up Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s publicly expressed willingness to appear before it. The RCI resumed this week after a short break.
The RCI must not give the impression to the public that they have been instructed by the Government to do everything possible not to allow anyone to embarrass former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad during its proceedings.
