MALAYSIA IS A FAILED COLONIAL EXPERIMENT – SAVE SABAH SARAWAK FROM FURTHER FOREIGN RULE & PILLAGE!
VOTE AS A STEP TO GET RID OF THE COLONIAL REGIME FOR A DE-COLONISED FREE INDEPENDENT SABAH SARAWAK!
Added to the failings listed in the article are some major fundamental FLAWS in the concept of Malaysia as a confederation of 3 states being Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak.
1. Malaysia Concept collapse in 1965.
The 1960s concept of the Federation of Malaysia had already been destroyed by Singapore leaving the 4 country partnership in 1965. UMNO Malaya had shown bad faith in the treatment of Singapore as an equal partner. This was underlined by the fact that Sabah and Sarawak were not consulted about the breakup reflecting UMNO’s plan too colonies the 2 countries. The Malaysia concept actually failed from the beginning when Brunei decided it was against its interest to join in the artificial creation of the Federation.
The break down of the original concept made the Malaysia Agreement null and void. In other words it is illegal.
2. UMNO Malaya broke the agreements on federation with Sabah and Sarawak from the beginning
The original fears of the Borneo people about Malayan colonisation were strongly expressed such that Tunku Abdul Rahman the British appointee PM put it in writing that Malaya Sabah and Sarawak were equal partners and Malaya would never colonise the 2 countries. However, Sabah and Sarawak had the 18/20 Points Agreements drawn up to protect their territorial sovereignty and integrity and state rights.
3. Malayanisation of Sabah Sarawak breach 18/20 Points Agreements & failure of “equal partnership”
UMNO’s breach of the 18/20 Points Agreement also repudiated and voided the Malaysia Agreement. This is seen in the long list of failure to honour the Agreements such as by Malayanisation instead of Borneonisation of the civil service, central control of Sabah Sarawak finances,taxes and their economies when it was agreed that they had independent control and interference with their right to control immigration into their territory.
4. Breach of Malaysia promises of economic prosperity and social advancement.
The Malaysia union led to the impoverishment of Sabah Sarawak people and countries both in the economic and social well being. Sabah and Sarawak from being resource rich countries have been reduced to be the 13th and 14th poorest states. They have been”transformed” into colonial oil palm plantation economies
Their once harmonious and tolerant society have been incorporated into UMNO’s new Malay supremacist apartheid system. We have regressed not only in our economic development but socially there has been a break down the traditional racial unity and the Dayak way of life with land grabs for dams and oil palm plantations.
If Singapore can leave the union why cannot Sabah and Sarawak?
They will be much better off than being colonial vassal states of Malaya.
They will be free and independent like Brunei and S’pore and they have not yet been invaded by Indonesia and the Philippines.
If life was better before 1963, life is hell in Malaysia after.
So for all the above reasons, we in Sabah Sarawak must unite and vote out UMNO as a first step to the de-colonisaiton of our countries from foreign Malayan rule.
