PRESS STATEMENT
Rahman Should Listen and Present People's
Views on Sabah Rights to Federal Govt.
Wednesday, 11 June 2014
Kota Kinabalu: “The Kota Belud MP cum
federal Minister of Urban Well-being, Housing
and Local Government, is out of touch with
reality and present undercurrents and does
not understand the people’s views on Sabah
rights. He should listen to the voices of the
people and present their views on Sabah rights
to the federal government as a leader from Sabah” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR
Sabah Chief in response to the Minister’s intimidating threats for stern action to be taken for protagonists of Sabah rights.
It is wrong for the Minister to threaten and
intimidate patriotic Malaysians from questioning the basis of the formation of Malaysia and its non-compliance and thereby questioning whether there should be a separation of ways if the basis of formation
continues to be breached.
The Minister should listen to the views of the
people as it has been opined that a slight
majority of Sarawakians would opt out of Malaysia given the current circumstances of
discontentment over the treatment of Sabah
and Sarawak by the federal powers.
It is not treasonous or seditious for any Sabahan/Sarawakian or for the matter any
Malaysian to seek and demand the restoration
of the rights, privileges and autonomy of the
Borneo States that were taken away or eroded
since 1963 and citing separation at an ultimate
step if the basis of the formation of Malaysia is not honoured.
The Minister should take a lesson or two in
history from the Chief Minister of Sarawak
that Sabah and Sarawak (with Singapore then)
formed Malaysia in 1963 and they did not join
Malaysia as Malaysia did not exist then. What
was in existence and gained independence
from the British on 31 August 1957 was the Federation of Malaya?
Malaysia was never colonized and never gained any independence and the original
Umno never fought for the independence of
Malaysia. Malaysia never existed before 1963 and Malaysia would not have existed even today without Sabah and Sarawak.
The Minister through his behaviour and
threats appear to be trapped in the mindset
of a feudal Umno/Malayan warlord or as an
unpatriotic Sabahan like the fake Sabahans that are regularly arrested and jailed in the Peninsula.
If the Minister wish to question the patriotism
of genuine Malaysians, the Minister should
look into the problems of illegal immigrants given dubious or fake ICs and question the patriotism of these “2-minute instant Malaysians” with dubiously issued Malaysian ICs.
Many of these fake IC holders and fake Sabahans have been arrested, including those that have committed serious crimes and they will continue to appear all over Malaysia since no action has been taken to eradicate the problem.
“Why is the Minister not calling for these fake Sabahans/Malaysians to be arrested for being security threats to the peace and harmony of Malaysia?”
“Why is the Minister not calling for the powers
that be that were behind the issuance of these dubious and fake ICs to be arrested for
treason” quizzed Dr. Jeffrey.
If the Minister is a true and patriotic Sabahan
and has the heart for the welfare and interests of his fellow Sabahans, he should
listen to the out-pouring of his fellow citizens
in Sabah and Sarawak and then present them as a responsible federal Minister to the federal
government so that action can be taken to solve their discontentment and ensure a peaceful and harmonious Malaysia for another
50 years to come.
If the Minster is a true Sabahan, he should ask himself which is true, “Sabah Maju Jaya Dalam Malaysia” or “Sabah Termiskin Dalam
Malaysia”?.
The Minister should also realize that he was
made a federal Minister because of the kingmakers’ powers wielded by Sabah and Sarawak and championed by the opposition. If not for the kingmakers’ role and the voices of the opposition, the Minister may just be an ordinary, or worse, an opposition Member of Parliament today.
The biggest threat to the security, peace and harmony of the nation and the break-up of Malaysia is from the ruling government leaders like the Minister who refuses to acknowledge the simmering discontent of the people.
If the federal government truly respect and
honour the basis of the formation of Malaysia
and treat Sabah and Sarawak fairly and as equal partners, there is no reason for any person to want Sabah and Sarawak out of Malaysia.
