Sabah, Sarawak better distance from Anwar's support of Hamas, warn Borneo top activists in support of each other's statements

PRESS STATEMENT

12 November 2023

DON'T LET THE BORNEO TERRITORY OF SABAH AND SARAWAK BECOME THE NEXT GAZA

Sarawakian activist Peter John Jaban is warning the Sarawak government to guard its 

immigration autonomy carefully as Prime Minister Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim maintains his support for Hamas, just as SUHAKAM predicts a likely influx of refugees from Palestine. He is calling on the authorities to prioritise Sarawak’s demographic mix and social harmony, reminding them that the state has its own social issues to contend with before it seeks to  support the personal agenda of the Prime Minister.

Peter John said: “The whole world is horrified by what is happening to Palestinian civilians 

caught up the conflict. Of course, Sarawakians feel keenly for all victims of war. Our Prime 

Minister’s insistence in maintaining his support for Hamas, however, is a different matter. 

Hamas is an Islamist, militant movement which is directly responsible for this phase of 

conflict and for the killing of Israeli citizens, many of them young children or elderly. It also 

openly supports the imposition of an Islamic Caliphate and has demonstrated that it is 

prepared to use terrorism to further this.”

“Anwar’s continuing support for Hamas in particular suggests that there will be little attempt  or requirement to properly vet any asylum seekers from Palestine. This risks entry by radicalised and violent factions who could disturb the social fabric of moderate and multicultural Malaysia. This issue is all the more pressing in Sarawak, the only non-Muslim majority state in the country, also recently identified as one of the poorest states in the 

Federation. This is why we are calling on the Sarawak government to stand firm in 

controlling our borders.”

He went on to say: “Sarawak has already seen controversial Ustaz Abdul Somad Batubara 

preach in Kuching earlier this year, despite him being refused entry from several other 

countries, including Singapore. We have also seen our Deputy Premier earlier this year 

claiming that the Madinah Charter would form a good basis for the constitution of a 

multiracial, secular state. Sarawakians must guard carefully against radical influences. We 

must learn from the experiences of our neighbouring Borneo state which has already 

experienced massive demographic shifts over the last few decades.”

Any suggestion that Hamas members could gain asylum in Malaysia should be rejected, 

especially by the Sarawak government. If their Arab neighbours continue to deny them 

asylum, then what business does Malaysia have in going against global policy?

Regardless, if Anwar insists on isolating himself, Sarawak should not follow blindly. This is the reason we retained our immigration autonomy; so that we could retain our own character and individuality and protect our own economic development. Support for a terrorist organisation cannot be part of that.

Meanwhile in Kota Kinabalu, two of Peter's colleagues, Daniel John Jambun and Kanul Gindol issued their own statements supporting his call.

Daniel, the President of Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation, fully supports Peter's warning to the GPS government and reminds the GRS government in Sabah to do the same by tightening the immigration laws.

"Sabah is already swarmed with illegal  immigrants from neighbouring countries squatting illegally in 543 colonies spread throughout the state.

"Any influx of refugees from Palestine will turn Sabah into a terrorist haven which would then be very hard to control as can be seen and felt now," stressed Daniel.

Kanul, in his short message of support said: "Borneo should not be allowed to be made the human and economic shields for Malaysia just because of the folly of one particular party supporting a condemned terrorist organisation."

Malaysia should end proxy government imposed on Sabah and Sarawak...

                          Voon Lee Shan

PROXY government facilitates Occupation, non-compliance on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA'63), brought in internal colonisation policies, and made the Federal government look the other way on the Southeast Asia Sea!

                      Daniel John Jambun

By Voon Lee Shan, Daniel John Jambun and Kanul Gindol, 31-10-2023

THE statement by several Malay NGO, attacking Sabah and Sarawak NGO on the Palestine Solidarity Week in schools in Malaya, must be kept in perspective.

Palestine isn't the only occupied state in the world suffering human rights violations. There are other people as well, from Yemen to Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, suffering under tyrannical rulers.

In law, Article 8 in Malaysia, there can be no discrimination. The Constitution cannot be seen as going against itself.

Politics and international conflicts must be kept out of schools. 

It's an offence, under law, if even toy guns are carried by school children and teachers during Palestine Solidarity Week beginning Sun 29 Oct 2023. It's double standards if action isn't taken on the toy guns displayed in public.

The radicalisation of school children must stop. We are not sending our children to school to become terrorists in foreign conflicts.

Those who are itching for fight in the Gaza Strip should go there. Instead, they disrupt the peace and harmony in Malaysia.

Sabah and Sarawak, it must be stressed, have been occupied by Malaysia for 60 years.

Proxy government in Sabah and Sarawak facilitates Occupation, non-compliance on the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA'63), brought in internal colonisation policies, and made the Federal government look the other way on the Southeast Asia Sea. Malaysia should end proxy government imposed on Sabah and Sarawak. 

Colonialism, a form of criminal enterprise for accumulating capital, has been outlawed by international law.

When the Sarawak government seized land from Iban in Balai Ringin, sometime in 1982/1983, and gave it to certain people in politics,  Adenan Satem was "racist" towards those who lost their land for no rhyme or reason.

Many can recall him inviting the Iban for "tea and sympathy". It reeked of unbridled "racism", xenophobia, prejudice and hate.

Adenan only stopped making "racist statements" when he became Chief Minister.

Again, the Sarawak government, like that in Sabah, is a proxy government run by local tyrants and control freaks with licence on corruption.

The AG, IGP, MACC and Bank Negara are all not functioning to expectations on people "deriving personal benefits" from bribery and corruption based on abuse of power, conflict of interest and criminal breach of trust.

The people of Sarawak have lost sovereignty to a small group, installed by the Federal government after ousting Stephen Kalong Ningkan in 1966.

The government in Sarawak has not changed since 1966. The First Past the Post System fell on undemocratic soil. In the absence of one to one, there are no run-offs. Many candidates are declared winners although they come in with less than 51 per cent of the votes counted. There's no consent of the governed, no legitimacy, no democracy, no sovereignty.

It's the duty of the international community and the Federal government to restore the sovereignty of the people of Sarawak.

Orang Asal (Original People) are the majority in Sarawak.

Christian forms about 62% per cent of the population in Sarawak.

Yet, they are being denied the right to rule their own country. The Orang Asal have lost so much NCR (native customary rights) land because NCR cases don't start at the Land Office.

The High Court has no jurisdiction, as the court of 1st instance, on NCR land cases.

The Orang Asal are losing NCR land in the superior court because many judges don't understand Land Office, NCR land, Adat and Native Court.

Malay, having no Adat except among Minangkabau from Sumatra in Negri Sembilan,  don't have NCR land. Malay reserve land is government reserve gazetted by the British on Orang Asli (aboriginal people) land in Malaya.

KERAJAAN proxy memudahkan Penjajahan, ketidakpatuhan terhadap Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA'63), memperkenalkan dasar-dasar kolonialisasi internal, dan membuat Kerajaan Persekutuan berpaling daripada Laut China Selatan!

             

Oleh Voon Lee Shan, Daniel John Jambun, dan Kanul Gindol, 31-10-2023

KENYATAAN oleh beberapa NGO Melayu, menyerang NGO Sabah dan Sarawak mengenai Minggu Solidariti Palestin di sekolah-sekolah di Tanah Melayu, harus diambil dalam konteks yang betul.

Palestin bukanlah satu-satunya negara yang diduduki di dunia yang mengalami pelanggaran hak asasi manusia. Terdapat rakyat lain juga, dari Yemen ke Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, dan Pakistan, yang menderita di bawah pemerintah zalim.

Dalam undang-undang, Perkara 8 di Malaysia, tidak boleh ada diskriminasi. Perlembagaan tidak boleh dilihat sebagai bertentangan dengan dirinya sendiri.

Politik dan konflik antarabangsa harus dihindari daripada masuk ke dalam sekolah.

Ia adalah satu kesalahan di bawah undang-undang jika anak-anak sekolah dan guru membawa pistol mainan semasa Minggu Solidariti Palestin yang bermula pada Ahad, 29 Oktober 2023. Ini adalah piawaian berganda jika tindakan tidak diambil terhadap pistol mainan yang dipamerkan di tempat awam.

Pemelakuan radikalisme terhadap kanak-kanak sekolah mesti dihentikan. Kami tidak menghantar anak-anak kami ke sekolah untuk menjadi pengganas dalam konflik asing.

Mereka yang ingin bertempur di Jalur Gaza harus pergi ke sana. Sebaliknya, mereka mengganggu keamanan dan harmoni di Malaysia.

Sabah dan Sarawak, perlu ditekankan, telah diduduki oleh Malaysia selama 60 tahun.

Kerajaan proxy di Sabah dan Sarawak memudahkan Penjajahan, ketidakpatuhan terhadap Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA'63), memperkenalkan dasar kolonialisasi internal, dan membuat Kerajaan Persekutuan berpaling daripada Laut China Selatan. Malaysia harus mengakhiri kerajaan proxy yang dikenakan ke atas Sabah dan Sarawak.

Pemerkasaan, sebuah bentuk entiti jenayah untuk mengumpul modal, telah diharamkan oleh undang-undang antarabangsa.

Apabila kerajaan Sarawak merampas tanah dari masyarakat Iban di Balai Ringin, pada suatu ketika pada tahun 1982/1983, dan memberikannya kepada beberapa individu dalam politik, Adenan Satem adalah "rasis" terhadap mereka yang kehilangan tanah mereka tanpa sebab yang jelas.

Ramai yang ingat dia mengundang masyarakat Iban untuk "minum teh dan simpati". Ia memancar amarah "rasis", xenophobia, prasangka, dan kebencian yang tidak terkawal.

Adenan hanya berhenti membuat "kempen rasis" apabila dia menjadi Ketua Menteri.

Sekali lagi, kerajaan Sarawak, seperti di Sabah, adalah kerajaan proxy yang diperintah oleh pemerintah tempatan yang otoriter dan pemikir kontrol dengan lesen untuk rasuah.

Peguam Negara, Ketua Polis Negara, SPRM, dan Bank Negara semuanya tidak berfungsi dengan baik dalam hal "mendapat manfaat peribadi" daripada suapan dan rasuah berdasarkan penyalahgunaan kuasa, konflik kepentingan, dan pelanggaran amanah jenayah.

Rakyat Sarawak telah kehilangan kedaulatan kepada kumpulan kecil, yang dipasang oleh kerajaan Persekutuan setelah menggulingkan Stephen Kalong Ningkan pada tahun 1966.

Kerajaan di Sarawak tidak berubah sejak 1966. Sistem First Past the Post terjatuh di tanah yang tidak demokratik. Dalam ketiadaan satu lawan satu, tidak ada pilihan kedua. Banyak calon diisytiharkan sebagai pemenang walaupun mereka memenangi dengan kurang daripada 51 peratus undi yang dihitung. Tiada persetujuan pemerintah, tiada legitimasi, tiada demokrasi, tiada kedaulatan.

Tugas masyarakat antarabangsa dan Kerajaan Persekutuan adalah untuk mengembalikan kedaulatan rakyat Sarawak.

Orang Asal adalah majoriti di Sarawak.

Kristian membentuk kira-kira 62% penduduk Sarawak.

Namun, mereka dinafikan hak untuk memerintah negara mereka sendiri. Orang Asal telah kehilangan banyak tanah.#

Mental health scare at Labuan mission school?

Daniel John Jambun, 27-10-2023

The Education Ministry should refer some teachers from Malaya and local students, reportedly experiencing mental health scare at Labuan's sole mission school, for evaluation at the nearest medical centre. 

The medical evaluation will confirm, based on science, that the crucifixes placed at the mission school has no connection with the mental health scare experienced by some teachers and students. Apparently, those affected saw demons and wandering spirits and dancing lights.

The victims must have been suffering from depression, i.e. persistent feelings of sadness, before reaching the mental health scare stage. 

Demons, which drive delusions, are signs of forms of mental illness induced by stress unleashed by the immune system. Stress causes chemical imbalances in the brain. There's medication which can restore the brain chemistry in as little as three days. The healing process in serious cases take much longer and may include being institutionalised.

It's the court that can order institutionalisation, based on subject matter expert opinion, at the nearest mental hospital.

Mental health isn't medical issue but legal term.

The court will consider whether the mentally ill poses danger for the public. In that case, institutionalisation of those affected keeps the public from harm. It also prevents self-harm, including suicide, and stabbing incidents.

There have been reports in the media, not so long ago, that the Education Ministry discovered that one in seven teachers in Malaysia suffered from some form of mental illness. We no longer hear about these teachers in the media. The Education Ministry should clear the air.

If true, these teachers should be relieved of teaching duties and assigned light duties, enrolled at day care centre, and placed under medical supervision.

Let's hope that the Education Ministry isn't dumping mentally ill teachers on Sabah, Labuan and Sarawak.

Again, it's unfortunate that incidents of mental health scare at the mission school has been linked with the crucifix placed in classrooms and at various spots in the school.

For those unfamiliar, the cross is just what it states and carries no body, while the crucifix carries the body of Jesus Christ, the Messiah for two billion people worldwide. 

For what it's worth, there's no work in nothingness on the other side.

It's true that those who watch many exorcism or ghost movies see the crucifix playing the main role in chasing out evil spirits.

All this remains the stuff of fiction found only in movies. In real life, the crucifix remains in the mind of the faithful, or worn on a chain around the neck, but as a cross.

It's not the done thing that the senior teacher who was against the crucifixes being taken down, apparently temporarily, has been transferred on 24 hours notice.

The senior teacher has become victim of circumstances. She should be recalled, having spent most of her teaching life at the school.

KENYATAAN MEDIA

27 OKTOBER 2023

Ketakutan terhadap kesihatan mental di sekolah misi Labuan...

Kementerian Pendidikan sepatutnya merujuk guru dan pelajar yang mengalami ketakutan kesihatan mental untuk dinilai di pusat perubatan terdekat!

Kementerian Pendidikan sepatutnya merujuk beberapa guru dari Malaya dan pelajar tempatan yang dilaporkan mengalami ketakutan kesihatan mental di sekolah misi tunggal Labuan untuk dinilai di pusat perubatan terdekat.

Penilaian perubatan akan mengesahkan, berdasarkan sains, bahawa salib yang diletakkan di sekolah misi tidak ada kaitan dengan ketakutan kesihatan mental yang dialami oleh beberapa guru dan pelajar. Nampaknya, individu yang terjejas melihat makhluk halus, roh-roh yang berkeliaran, dan cahaya yang bergerak.

Mangsa-mangsa ini mungkin telah mengalami kemurungan, iaitu perasaan sedih yang berterusan, sebelum mencapai peringkat ketakutan kesihatan mental. 

Makhluk halus, yang menghasilkan khayalan, adalah tanda-tanda penyakit mental yang dipicu oleh tekanan yang dilepaskan oleh sistem imun. Tekanan menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan kimia dalam otak. Terdapat ubat yang boleh mengembalikan kimia otak dalam masa tiga hari sahaja. Proses pemulihan dalam kes yang serius memerlukan masa yang lebih lama dan mungkin melibatkan penempatan di institusi.

Ianya adalah mahkamah yang boleh memerintahkan penempatan di institusi, berdasarkan pendapat pakar yang berkaitan, di hospital mental terdekat.

Kesihatan mental bukanlah isu perubatan tetapi istilah undang-undang.

Mahkamah akan menimbang sama ada individu yang mengalami gangguan mental membahayakan orang awam. Dalam kes itu, penempatan di institusi individu yang terjejas dapat melindungi orang awam dari bahaya. Ianya juga dapat mencegah penganiayaan diri sendiri, termasuk percubaan bunuh diri dan insiden penikaman.

Terdapat laporan dalam media, tidak begitu lama dulu, bahawa Kementerian Pendidikan mendapati satu daripada tujuh guru di Malaysia mengalami beberapa jenis penyakit mental. Kami tidak lagi mendengar mengenai guru-guru ini di media. Kementerian Pendidikan sepatutnya menerangkan perkara ini.

Jika benar, guru-guru ini patut digantung tugas mengajar dan diberikan tugas ringan, ditempatkan di pusat jagaan siang, dan diletakkan di bawah pengawasan perubatan.

Harap-harap Kementerian Pendidikan tidak memindahkan guru-guru yang mengalami masalah kesihatan mental ke Sabah, Labuan, dan Sarawak.

Sekali lagi, memanglah tidak beruntung bahawa insiden ketakutan kesihatan mental di sekolah misi dikaitkan dengan salib yang diletakkan di bilik darjah dan pelbagai tempat di sekolah.

Untuk mereka yang tidak tahu, salib hanyalah seperti yang dinyatakan dan tidak membawa tubuh, manakala salib yang memiliki gambaran tubuh Yesus Kristus, Mesias bagi dua bilion orang di seluruh dunia.

Walau bagaimanapun, pada hakikatnya, dalam kehidupan sebenar, salib kekal di minda orang yang beriman, atau dipakai sebagai rantai di sekitar leher, tetapi hanya sebagai salib.

Adalah kurang sesuai bahawa guru kanan yang menentang pengambilan salib turun, nampaknya buat sementara waktu, telah dipindahkan dalam tempoh 24 jam.

Guru kanan itu telah menjadi mangsa keadaan. Beliau patut dipanggil semula, setelah meluangkan masa yang panjang sebagai pendidik di sekolah tersebut.

*Tafsir (interpretation) can bring Islam for compliance with the rule of law . . .*

*The rule of law, not Quran, is the basis of the Constitution!*

Islamic 'law' practices are not possible as the rule of law is the basis of the Constitution.

Islam is not law but based on the concept of sin. That's the same as Karma.

In Islam, sunnatullah means God's law on cause and effect i.e. Karma.

The Supreme Court of India has declared that syariah isn't law but based on a person's willingness to accept it.

It would be unconstitutional to impose syariah on anyone.

In jurisdiction, God isn't source in law.

Law must have source to have jurisdiction, authority and power.

The court of law is only about law.

The court of law isn't about ethics, moral values, civilisational values including that based on Islam, theology, sin, God, righteousness, justice or truth.

There's greater emphasis on the spirit of the law in the rule of law, the basis of the Constitution, albeit read with the letter of the law.

The letter of the law, by itself, isn't law at all. It's dictatorship, rule BY law, rule by Man, the law of the jungle where anything goes for acting with impunity.

There's no legitimacy in the letter of the law, by itself, no democracy, no consent of the governed, and there has been loss of sovereignty.

In the rule of law, the manner in which the accused was convicted comes first. Conviction can follow if it has been perfected in law for perfection in law.

There must be compliance with procedures, procedural fairness, due process, and compliance with the greater emphasis on the spirit of the law in the rule of law, the basis of the Constitution, albeit read with the letter of the law. The letter of the law, by itself, isn't law at all.

There's law, no law, and where there can be no law.

No law, no crime.

There must be law before crime.

Nullum crimen sine lege ( Latin for no crime without law), remains the principle in criminal law, national and international.

The principle is interchangeable with nullum poena sine lege (Latin for no punishment without law).

It isn't possible for anyone to know law.

Law, ultimately, remains the power of language, showing proof of wide reading, ability to think on law and like a lawyer, and ability to fathom how the other side and the judge would think and rule.

The judge is bound by what happens in court, the  parties are bound by pleadings.

The court is about closure. There can be no closure without out of court settlement or finality in litigation.

Law schools, offering only academic programmes, often say that "it's a bit of a mystery where lawyers get skills".

Law schools don't impart courtroom skills and skills for law practice. Academic programmes can only be used for teaching law.

Islam remains about the Tafsir (interpretation) concept in the Quran.

Islam needs Tafsir throughout the ages, from time to time, for progressive thought in keeping with the times. Otherwise, Islam degenerates into Political Islam i.e. a form of rotten politics.

Tafsir may bring Islam one day to the rule of law.

In that case, as in Saudi Arabia, syariah would be considered as based on customary practices and therefore having force of law like Adat.

Adat is the 1st law in international law.

The Constitution, being based on the ultimate political documents which set forth the governing institutions of state, has force of law. 

The Constitution is based on the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1948, the Federation of Malaya Independence Act 1957 and the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA'63).

The governing institutions of state in Malaysia cannot be based only on 1948 and 1957. It must be based on 1963 as well.

There must be compliance on MA'63.

If MA63 was validly made, then there must be strict compliance with this international treaty.

Inilah contoh kes lain dicakap, lain dibuat. 

Hajiji kata isu lebih penting ialah menyelesaikan masalah air (tak cukup dan kotor), elektrik (bekalan putus-putus), jadi "IC Sabah" bukan keutamaan. Ini ada betul juga.

Ini macam mempermudahkan alasan. Adakah dia bercakap, kalau masalah air dan elektrik sudah selesai, barulah IC Sabah menjadi utama kembali?

Kita tanya mengenai IC Sabah, dia jawab kesediaannya memberi status Penduduk Tetap pula kepada rakyat Semenanjung yang sudah lama tinggal atau bekerja di Sabah seperti guru, doktor dan profesional lain. Ini patut dipuji kerana bersedia.

Kami fikir dengan menafikan kegunaan Kad Sabah seperti SarawakCard yang dicadang  Kerajaan Sarawak maka Sabah terlepas mendapat platform yang memperkukuh negeri Sabah.

Begitu juga dengan kengganan kerajaan GRS untuk mencontohi benda baik Sarawak iaitu mengubah nama jawatan ketua eksekutif negeri dari Ketua Menteri kepada Premier.

Praya Kecil Jepak, Sarawak: PBB, GPS suka hina parti kecil, kata PBK

Voon Lee Shan, 22-10-2023

 SEMASA penamaan calon bagi Pilihan Raya Kecil Jepak di Dewan Suarah Bintulu beberapa pemimpin PBB dan GPS melemparkan penghinaan dengan menggelar Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) sebagai parti nyamuk dan menggesa PBK menarik diri daripada bertanding kerana ia membuang wang dan masa untuk bertanding.

 Amat menyedihkan apabila parti kita dihina sebegitu oleh Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg juga.  Dia sepatutnya bersimpati dengan parti politik kecil seperti kita dan berjuang dalam pilihan raya di atas padang.  Pameran tenaga kerja dan sumber kewangan mereka dalam menggerakkan ahli parti mereka dan penyokong beberapa ribu orang ke pusat penamaan calon adalah mengagumkan.  Kita hanya ada segelintir orang sahaja untuk menceriakan calon kita, Stevenson Anak Joseph Sumbang di pusat penamaan calon semalam.

  Penghinaan terbuka oleh Premier dalam satu video menjejaskan maruah rakyat Sarawak kerana berkuasa ini tidak sepatutnya datang daripada pemimpin seperti beliau.  Gesaan Timbalan Premier Datuk Abdillah Yusuf menyeru parti-parti kecil berundur daripada pilihan raya adalah menunjukkan keangkuhan.  Begitu juga, ia menunjukkan keangkuhan Timbalan Premier Datuk Awang Tengah apabila mempersoalkan parti politik kecil seperti PBK yang bertanding dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil Jepak ini.

 Penghinaan itu bukan sahaja terhadap parti, tetapi, juga terhadap pemimpin parti kita, ahli dan rakyat Sarawak.  Pertunjukan keangkuhan mereka adalah perniagaan mereka tetapi penghinaan itu mencucuk maruah dan maruah kita rakyat biasa Sarawak, yang mencari demokrasi, keadilan dan kemerdekaan yang lebih baik daripada persekutuan Malaysia.

 Saya menggesa ahli parti dan penyokong serta rakan rakyat Sarawak, supaya bertenang dan tidak mengambil iktibar terhadap penghinaan terhadap kami.  Kita perlu tahu agama kita tidak mengajar kita menghina atau memandang rendah kepada orang yang lemah dan tertindas.  Agama kita mengajar kita untuk mengambil berat dan bersimpati kepada orang, walaupun kepada musuh kita.

  Walaupun PBB dan GPS pada masa ini kuat tetapi kita tidak harus menolak kemustahilan PBB dan GPS tidak akan jatuh satu hari nanti.  Malah Empayar Rom boleh runtuh.

 Pada abad kedua puluh, kita melihat.  kejatuhan empayar besar - mandarin China, Jerman Turki Uthmaniyyah, Kesatuan Soviet dan Empayar British.  Tolong jangan sombong.

 PBK adalah parti politik yang sah dan kita mempunyai hak undang-undang untuk melawan pilihan raya dan memenangi kerusi dan membentuk kerajaan serta membawa Sarawak keluar daripada penjajahan Tanah Melayu.

 Kami tahu, sebagai parti yang kecil dan baharu, kami memerlukan masa untuk berkembang dan memenangi kerusi.  Saya berharap pengundi di Jepak memahami pendirian kami dan saya merayu pengundi di Jepak supaya tidak membiarkan kami kalah teruk dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil.

 Maklumlah, PBK mempunyai misi untuk membebaskan Sarawak dan merdeka daripada penjajahan dan imperialisme Tanah Melayu.  GPS

 tidak pernah menyokong langkah PBK untuk membebaskan Sarawak dan merdeka daripada MALAYSIA dan sebenarnya, kerajaan Sarawak, yang kini berada di bawah GPS, menentang Saman Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA63) kami baru-baru ini yang mahu mengisytiharkan MA63 terbatal dan tidak sah.  Jika mahkamah tinggi boleh mengisytiharkan MA63 sebagai batal dan tidak sah, ini bermakna, MALAYSIA perlu berpecah atau Sarawak boleh meninggalkan Malaysia.

  Malaya mengambil Sarawak, Sabah dan Singapura di bawah Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 (MA63) dari United Kingdom untuk membesarkan wilayahnya pada 16 September 1963. Malaya kemudiannya menamakan dirinya sebagai Malaysia.  Notis pertukaran nama dari malaya kepada Malaysia dilakukan melalui surat yang dialamatkan kepada Sekretariat Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu oleh Dato Ong Yoke Lin dari Malaya.

Saman 40%, ibu segala saman, kata Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri

KOTA KINABALU: Presiden Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (ANAK NEGERI), Datuk Henrynus Amin, menyifatkan saman undang-undang Persatuan Undang-undang Sabah (SLS) terhadap Kerajaan Negeri dan Persekutuan berhubung kegagalan membayar 40% hak hasil Negeri sebagai ibu kepada semua saman undang-undang dan berikrar untuk membantu SLS memperjuangkan kes tersebut dengan meningkatkan kesedaran awam dan menggerakkan sokongan orang ramai untuk tujuan murni.

Henrynus berkata, ANAK NEGERI, sebuah parti politik tempatan, telah bercadang untuk memfailkan kes mahkamah mengenai tuntutan 40% Negeri berikutan penarikan balik kes itu baru-baru ini oleh 12 pemimpin PH Sabah.

Bagaimanapun, selepas berunding dengan Pengerusi SLS Datuk Roger Chin dan dua peguam kanan SLS yang lain mengenai perkara itu hari ini, Henrynus bersetuju untuk tidak meneruskan tindakan undang-undang selepas mendapat taklimat dan jaminan tegas bahawa saman SLS adalah kukuh, merangkumi kebanyakan isu mengenai tuntutan 40% dan akan diteruskan seperti yang dijadualkan.

"ANAK NEGERI sebaliknya akan membantu SLS untuk meningkatkan kesedaran orang ramai dan menggerakkan sokongan orang ramai terhadap kes itu di semua 22 daerah di Sabah demi kepentingan awam."

Henrynus berkata bahawa berikutan penarikan balik saman undang-undang oleh 12 pemimpin PH Sabah, rakyat Sabah kini hanya boleh bergantung kepada saman undang-undang SLS untuk memperjuangkan tuntutan hak pendapatan 40% negeri di mahkamah.

Turut hadir semasa pertemuan dengan SLS ialah Daniel John Jambun, seorang aktivis terkenal Borneo yang juga Presiden Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation, NGO yang berdedikasi memperjuangkan hak Orang Asal Sabah.

Henrynus dan Daniel telah bersetuju untuk bekerjasama dengan parti2 politik dan NGO lain yang berfikiran sama dalam menyokong SLS dengan menjalankan kempen kesedaran awam mengenai isu kelayakan hasil negeri 40%.

Henrynus bersetuju dengan Dr David Fung, salah seorang peguam SLS yang mengendalikan kes kelayakan hasil Negeri 40%, bahawa memenuhi tuntutan kelayakan 40% tersebut adalah komponen yang sangat penting dalam Perjanjian Malaysia yang merupakan hak perlembagaan Negeri.

"Kita tidak boleh kehilangan 40% kelayakan hasil negeri kita," kata Henrynus dalam mengulangi ucapan Dr David Fung yang amat berpegang teguh pada hak perlembagaan Negeri mengenai kewangan.

Oleh itu, Henrynus menggesa semua rakyat Sabah supaya tidak terlepas pandang tentang kepentingan 40% hak hasil negeri, dan tidak mengambil mudah, kerana undang-undang yang berkaitan mengenai 40% hak kewangan Sabah telah ditulis dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan kerana kebijaksanaan dan pandangan jauh nenek moyang kemerdekaan Sabah.

"Kami berterima kasih kepada SLS kerana mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap kerajaan Negeri dan Persekutuan kerana tidak mematuhi dan tidak membayar wang yang terhutang kepada Sabah berdasarkan formula 40%.

Henrynus berkata saman undang-undang SLS adalah menuntut semakan kehakiman terhadap 40% kelayakan Negeri Sabah dan menyeru agar Kerajaan Persekutuan mematuhi undang-undang berkaitan di bawah Perkara 112C dan Bahagian IV, Seksyen 1(2) Jadual Kesepuluh Perlembagaan Persekutuan. 

Walaupun ANAK NEGERI mengalu-alukan jaminan berulang kali oleh pemimpin2 Negeri Sabah bahawa mereka masih komited dalam mengejar 40% hak hasil Negeri, Henrynus berkata parti beliau menuntut dan mengharapkan tindakan nyata oleh kerajaan negeri Sabah, bukan hanya jaminan lisan atau kenyataan dalam akhbar.

PARTI KERJASAMA ANAK NEGERI (ANAK NEGERI)

PRESS STATEMENT

9 October 2023

KOTA KINABALU - President of Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (ANAK NEGERI), Datuk Henrynus Amin, has described the Sabah Law Society (SLS) legal suit against the State and Federal Governments on the non payment of the 40% state revenue entitlement as the mother of all legal battles and vowed to help SLS fight for the case by raising public awareness and mobilizing public support for the noble cause. 

Henrynus said, ANAK NEGERI, a local political party, has intended to file a court case on the state's 40% revenue entitlement following the recent withdrawal of the case by 12 Sabah PH leaders.

However, after consulting the SLS Chairman Datuk Roger Chin and two other SLS senior lawyers on the matter today, Henrynus agreed not to pursue the legal option after getting the briefing and firm assurances that the SLS suit is solid, covers most of the issues on the 40% claims and will proceed as scheduled. 

ANAK NEGERI, he said, will instead help SLS to raise public awareness and mobilize public support for the case in all the 22 districts in Sabah. 

Henrynus noted that following the withdrawal of the legal suit by 12 Sabah PH leaders, Sabahans now can only rely on the SLS legal suit to fight for the state's 40% revenue entitlement in court. 

Also present during the meeting with SLS was Daniel John Jambun, a top activist who heads Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation, an NGO dedicated to fight for indigenous rights. 

Henrynus and Daniel have agreed to work together with other like minded political parties and NGOs in support of SLS by conducting a public awareness campaign on the 40% state revenue entitlement issue. 

Henrynus agreed with Dr David Fung, one of the SLS lawyers who undertook the 40% state revenue entitlement case, that the fulfillment of the 40% state revenue entitlement is a very crucial component of the Malaysia Agreement which is a state constitutional right.

"We must not lose our 40% state revenue entitlement," said Henrynus in echoing remarks by Dr David Fung who felt very strongly about the state constitutional rights on finance.

Henrynus therefore urged all Sabahans not to lose sight of the significance of the 40% state revenue entitlement, and not to take matter lightly, as the relevant laws on Sabah's 40% financial entitlement were written into the Federal Constitution due to the wisdom and far sightedness of Sabah's independence forefathers.

"We are thankful to SLS for taking legal action against the State and Federal government for non compliance and non payment of the money due to Sabah based on the 40% formula."  

Henrynus said the SLS legal suit seeks a judicial review of the 40% entitlement and calls for Federal  compliance of the relevant laws under Article 112C and Part IV, Section 1(2) of the Tenth Sechedule of the FC.

While ANAK NEGERI welcomes repeated assurances by the Sabah state leaders that they are still committed in pursuing the 40% state revenue entitlement, Henrynus said the Party demands and expects tangible actions by the Sabah state government, not just verbal assurances or statements in the press. 

Sabahans no longer accept mere verbal promises by the State or Federal leaders which Henrynus described as mere thunder in the sky but no rain for the last 60 years.

Investigate serious allegation against Chief Minister, says Sabah top activist

                             Kanul Gindol

By Luke Rintod, 8-10-2023

KOTA BELUD: A top Sabah socio-political activist has called on the police and MACC to immediately launch investigation on a serious allegation of abuse of power against the Sabah Chief Minister, Hajiji Noor.

Kanul Gindol in statement released here today, said the allegation against the CM has been circulating in social media and became a hot  coffeeshop talk in recent days.

"As a socio-political activist, i am shocked to read and hear such allegations of abuses of power against the Chief Minister, he being made to appear in cahoot with certain parties in scandalous deals," he said.

The allegation of abuse of power relates to a vast tract of silica-rich land in Balambangan Island north of Kudat, awarded to companies linked to a Sarawakian businessman who is purportedly Hajiji's friend.

According to write-ups in social media sighted by Borneo Herald, the 968.4 hectares in Balambangan belong to Sabah Foundation, a state statutory body, closely linked to the ruling politicians.

Sabah Chief Minister is vested with certain power to approve application for state land, up to 242.8 hectares, without going through the State Cabinet. 

However in this case it was alleged that the 968.4 ha was parcelled into four applications so as to circumvent the requirement for Cabinet approval.

Kanul said: "I strongly believe a thorough investigation will reveal the truth of the matter, and that it will exonerate the CM if he is found innocent of such serious allegation."

He further said, the authorities must leave no stone unturned in their investigation.#

Sabah, Sarawak better without the Federal rotten education system, say top Borneo activists

JOINT Press Statement

SABAH SARAWAK MUST DISTANCE ITSELF FROM THE ENCROACHING MALAYSIA'S ROTTEN EDUCATION SYSTEM 

Concerned citizen have been praying and working hard in all the previous General elections with the hope that a new government will prevail replacing the corrupt BN government. A new government that is based on good governance, transparent, accountable, just and fair, and above all respects and upholds rule of law.

But Alas, we were wrong, we ended up caught in a situation akin to jumping  out from the frying pan only to land on the fire. 

The education system in Malaysia is regressing steadily towards South, bogged down by politics based on racism, xenophobia and hate, and flawed affiliate action.

It maybe all about the "dog in the manger" approach at the highly politicised Education Ministry.

The Education Ministry has always been used by the government of the day for gathering votes ala ketuanan Melayu ie Malay political supremacy and dominance, a dubious combination of Malaya nationalism and internal colonisation.

Colonisation, defined as the transfer of wealth from those who had no power for the benefit for those who had power viz the colonial nation as mother nation.

Project IC Mahathir, registered in the electoral rolls and allowed to vote in an election is internal colonisation .

Colonisation is also the domination of the people's mind by means of using the education system to mould them mentally. 

The move to drop the use of English goes against the recent announcements by Premier Abang Jo to continue the use of English.

So how is it going to affect education in Sabah and Sarawak?

Sabah Sarawak must distance itself from the encroaching Malaysia's rotten  education system 

and established a progressive education system that link for the work place both locally and abroad.

This can only be achieved when Sabah Sarawak gain independence. 

Thank you.

Orang Asal Activists Support the Sabah Law Society's Call for Legal Reform in Sabah

By Daniel John Jambun & Kanul Gindol

5-10-2023

WE applaud the initiative taken by the Sabah Law Society (SLS) in advocating for the modernization of state laws that have become outdated to better serve the needs of our evolving society. The outdated colonial-era laws need to be repealed and reformed to align with the legal framework of contemporary realities.

We, as concerned Orang Asal  (Momogun) and advocates for justice and progress, stand in full support of the SLS's call for legal reforms in Sabah. It is essential that our state laws keep pace with the changing times, address the rights and welfare of all individuals, and promote fairness and justice for everyone.

In line with the SLS’s initiative, we, the Orang Asal  (Momogun), urge the Sabah Government to be brave and have the political will to review and find solutions to the Interpretation (Definition of Native) Ordinance. It is crucial that the term "Native" accurately reflects the indigenous peoples of Sabah, those who are unique to our Sabah.

This distinction is essential to uphold the rights and identity of Sabah's indigenous communities.

The Native Ordinance is a creation of the British Colonial government and should be reviewed, amended to clarify the two distinct definitions of natives, namely, the  Indigenous People - Orang Asal (Momogun) - who are the original inhabitants of Sabah and the Non-Indigenous People who claimed to be Native of Sabah.

*All Orang Asal are native, unless not born in Sabah, but not all native if born in Sabah are Orang Asal (Momogun).*

*Native was about status in law. There must be proof of identity, not necessarily based on MyKad*

*Orang Asal (Momogun)was about status in law based on property rights and not about being Native and it isn't about "race"*

*Orang Asal  (Momogun) is about NCR land i.e. ancestral and historical property rights under Adat, i.e. the 1st law in international law, based on customary practices and have force of law like the Constitution.*

Orang Asal (Momogun) stand defined by NCR land under Article 13 (property rights), Article 5 (right to life) and Article 8 (no discrimination).

The colonial era Native Interpretation Ordinance, an inferior law, must be repealed. There's no similar enactment or insertion in the Constitution, whether state or federal. 

In law, Article 4, inferior law remains null and void by the extent of  inconsistency with superior law. Still, even invalid law remains valid, unless declared otherwise by the court or repealed by the state assembly.

Having said that, we humbly urge the government to consider these important recommendations and work collaboratively with the SLS to enact the necessary legal reforms. Modernising our legal framework and ensuring the accurate representation of indigenous (Momogun) communities is not just a matter of practicality but also a testament to our commitment to justice, equality, and progress for all residents of Sabah.

On another note, it is very important for Sabah and Sarawak government to know and understand that,

Federal Territory has lower status than state. It was Mahathir who deliberately floated the idea. He wanted all talk on MA'63 ended.

People in Sabah and Sarawak never asked any questions.

Federal Territory means ruled directly by the Federal gov't. 

That's what New Delhi did in Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh.

Ladakh has become union territory in perpetuity.

Kashmir and Jammu have become union territories temporarily until terrorist activities cease and the security situation improves.

Then, their statehood will be restored.

If Sabah and Sarawak become federal territories, what does it mean?

Is it permanent or temporary?

If temporary, what happens after that?

SLS, again we kindly seek your opinion on this matter.
