Sabah, Sarawak activists want to restore sovereignty



Joint Press Statement by Sarawak Sovereignty Movement (SSM) and Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BOPIM)

It was unanimously resolved by both SSM and BOPIM in Kuching on Tuesday 11 June, 2013 to strategize on how best Sabah and Sarawak can restore their sovereignty of 31 Aug, 1963 and 22 July, 1963 respectively.

At the same time, they want to explore the nature of the relationship that both Sabah and Sarawak should have with Malaya after the restoration of their sovereignty.

One idea is that when it comes to Sabah and Sarawak, the Federal Government should confine itself to Defence, Foreign Affairs and National Economic Planning but not for an indefinite period of time.

This is an opportune year for both NGO's to commence pursuing this matter since it marks the 50th year of the Malaysia Agreement had there been a Referendum on Malaysia in Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Malaya.

In the absence of a Referendum, the Government in Putrajaya/Kuala Lumpur saw no reason to comply with the Malaysia Agreement. The Cobbold Commission must not be seen as a Referendum but rather open British and Malayan defiance of the United Nation’s Protocols on Decolonization.

There’s no Constitution for Malaysia either.

Instead, the codified Constitution of Malaya is being passed off as the Constitution of Malaysia and the Federation of Malaya is masquerading as the Constitution of Malaysia.

Sabah and Sarawak are being referred to as the 12th and 13th states after the departure of Singapore which saw the definition of Federation in the Constitution being amended against them.

In short, 16 Sept, 1963 became the day that Malaya occupied Sabah and Sarawak. It can be resolved that Sept 16, Malaysia Day, must henceforth be observed as Occupation Day. It’s a day of mourning when the flags of Sabah and Sarawak must be flown at half-mast and the people wear black bands on their arms.

The restoration of sovereignty will bring immense benefits to both Sabah and Sarawak.

For starters, it will help resolve the burning issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah in particular and their presence on the electoral rolls. It’s an open secret that these illegal immigrants and other foreigners have also been handed MyKads meant for citizens by operation of law.

The continued occupation of Sabah and Sarawak by Malaya, if not reversed, will only result in the people in general and the Orang Asal in particular losing their countries to the illegal immigrants.

The restoration of sovereignty will also help the two Nations in Borneo to realize their full potential in every field of human endeavour.

We need look no further than Singapore and Brunei to realize what the restoration of sovereignty would mean. Both countries, one left Malaysia after two years and the other stayed out at the 11th hour, are light years ahead of Sabah and Sarawak.

At present, as announced by the World Bank in Kota Kinabalu in Dec 2010, Sabah and Sarawak are the poorest parts of Malaysia. Sabah is the poorest with Sarawak being a distant 2nd poorest.

Having failed to squat on Singapore, Malaysia is squatting on Sabah and Sarawak.

MALAYSIA IS NOT THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT

Malaysia as it is today is not the original concept the KL snake oil salesmen sold to our grandparents- being 5 countries as equal partners in a confederation which looked after defence and foreign affairs!

The original concept was a recycled 1942 British war time forward planning idea to consolidate the 3 British Borneo Protectorates (from 1888) Brunei North Borneo & Sarawak with Malaya and Singapore under one colonial admin and military command.

After WW2 this idea was not feasible as Britain feared being bogged down fighting money draining independence wars it was facing where ever the sunset in its Empire.

UN De-colonization Committee had announced that all colonies should be de-colonised and UK wanted to be a seen as a good world citizen.

So the next best solution was to flog the same idea on its chosen successor the Malayan UMNO regime to transfer the 3 Borneo colonies to UMNO rule under the sandiwara of forming Malaysia.

The 18 & 20 Points Agreement support the confederation concept by preserving all aspects of self-government (the illusory "autonomy") for Sabah and Sarawak respectively except defence and foreign affairs.

This concept broke down before it even got started. 5 countries became 4 when Brunei most wisely stayed out of this Ponzi scheme and then became 3 when Singapore left in 1965. The concept was dead and should have been re-negotiated or Malaysia dismantled.

But they pushed ahead with the MA63. It was signed on 9 July 1963 by UK, Malaya and S'pore with North Borneo and Sarawak as colonies.

1. The issue of S'pore "expulsion" should have been discussed by all the signatories and Malaya had no power to kick out S'pore.

Further there was no clause governing such a situation in the M'sia Agreement. So the matter would have to go to the British courts. But they played dirty and ignored SS's rights.

FYI the Tunku & his protection gang fiercely opposed the Lansdowne committee which was drafting the 18 & 20 Points Agreement from including an exit clause. Recently Najib declared that SS are forever part of Malaysia. One blogger said if SS left the Malayans would bring guns.

Now we know the reason why UMNO insisted no exist clause in the Points Agreement. They imprinted their colonizing intentions by insisting on a clause which "prohibits secession".

Now this is against the rules of free association. Lord Lansdowne who did not want an exit clause said on this point that Malaysia was a free association and North Borneo (then) and Sarawak had an "INTRINSIC RIGHT to secede at will"!

But for both SS and S'pore the situation was deemed a fait accompli and S'pore is happy and lucky to be out of the nasty abusive relationship!
SS are not happy!

2. Sabah and Sarawak were described as colonies in the MA63 and who signed the doc for them?

SS became independent after 9 July 1963 before Proclamation on Malaysia & everyone- SS SOVEREIGNTY WAS NOT TRANSFERRED TO MALAYA AT THIS MOMENT!

Question: does the MA63 bind Sabah Sarawak when they became independent? Did the act of independence invalidate the MA63? Especially when Malaya had not sunk its crocodile jaws on the 2 colonies?

This issue caused a major uproar between UK and UMNO. The Tunku even threatened to call of "Malaysia" - WISH HE DID!

Malaysia Day had to be changed to 16 September because of this oversight by UK in not getting an Order in Council to formally transfer sovereignty to Malaya. This upset the Tunku, Razak and Ghazali big time and they were abusive and tearing their hair.

In soon to be revealed Colonial Papers, it will be exposed to the world that Britain and Malaya conspired to annex the 3 colonies into Malaysia with S'pore as a willing partner.

But do bear in mind the Malaysia concept had changed 3 times. The first 2 are mentioned above.

The third change is when Sabah and Sarawak were converted to Malayan colonies.

The documents are there for everyone to see and it is only appropriate that actions be taken now for the recovery or reinforcement of the Agreement.
For those who are unaware of such declaration they can go to the Double-Six monument office at Sembulan, Kota Kinabalu, in case of Sabah and read for themselves the context through which we formed Malaysia. We did not join Malaysia, we FORMED Malaysia alongside Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya based on the terms spelt out.
So for this NGO to justify its existence there should be no more dilly-dallying. Go to the World Courts now, otherwise we will continue to be trampled by those who are ignorant of the terms.

There was no Referendum on Malaysia in Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei or Malaya. So, how could it be said that Sabah and Sarawak helped form Malaysia?

SABAH IS AN ISSUE BETWEEN LESSOR LANDLORD (THE SULTAN OF SULU)
AND ILLEGAL TENANT (MALAYSIA)



Sabah or North Borneo and the island of Palawan were bestowed as gifts to the Sultan of Sulu by the Sultan of Brunei in 1658 in gratitude for the assistance of the Sultan of Sulu to avert a civil war in Borneo. Thus, since that time, Sabah became a property of the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu. Sabah's problem is that Tenant (Malaysia) is not paying the right amount of rent to the Lessor Landlord (Sultan of Sulu).

In 1878, HM Sultan Jamalul Ahlam Kiram (The Sultan of Sulu and The Sultan of Sabah), as the legitimate owner, leased Sabah to a British company of Gustavus Baron de Overbeck and Alfred Dent for their use and their heirs but the Lease prohibits the transfer of Sabah to any nation, company or individual without the consent of His Majesty's Government (“Government of the Sultan of Sulu”). The transfer of Sabah by Great Britain to Malaysia in 1963 constituted a breach of the provisions of the 1878 Lease as the Government of the Sultan of Sulu did not consent to the transfer to Malaysia. As a point in law, Sabah must and should be returned to the Lessor as owners (the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu).

In 1906 and 1920, the United States formally reminded Great Britain that Sabah did not belong to Great Britain and was still part of the Sultanate of Sulu but Great Britain ignored and did not listen to the reminder of the USA and transferred Sabah to Malaysia in 1963. This transfer is prohibited under the Sabah Lease of 1878.

The continued occupation of Sabah by Malaysia is illegal and it must end. Malaysia pays the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu very small annual rent of PhP77,442.36 or US$1,500 for Sabah a real estate property with land area of 73,711 square kilometers. This very small yearly rent is unjust and unfair and it is unacceptable and indefensible how Malaysia can stay in Sabah by paying so little amount of rent per year.

Sabah contributes US$30 billion GDP to the Malaysian economy annually and looking at fair commercial rental property transactions the Lessor can expect to receive rental payment of at least 10% to 12% or US$3 billion to US$3.6 billion per year from the Tenant. But the Lessor only received a measly US$1,500 per year so the Malaysian payment needs to be discussed and re-negotiated to the satisfaction of everybody concerned.

Due to the unfair and unjust treatment of Malaysia of the Sabah owners regarded as Un-Islamic and Haram and the lack of economic developments in the Sultanate of Sulu and also in Sabah many pro independence groups advocate independence of Sulu and Sabah. Malaysia is a Muslim nation that grabs Sabah the land owned by Muslims from the Sultanate of Sulu. Malaysia's land-grabbing of Sabah is betrayal of Islam - - and of the norms of civilized society !

The Sultan of Sulu and The Sultan of Sabah HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad A. Kiram I (current Lessor Landlord) expounds that if Malaysia wants to stay in Sabah lawfully, then Malaysia must pay the correct and proper amount of rent of US$3 Billion to US$3.6 Billion per year. If the rental payment is not acceptable, he proposes “Joint Administration” between the Sultan of Sulu and Sultan of Sabah and Malaysia to administer Sabah and all incomes are split co-equally, similar to the joint administration or “Condominium of France and Great Britain in Vanuatu” prior to Vanuatu's independence.


If the rental payment or Joint Administration is not acceptable then Malaysia must vacate Sabah and return Sabah to the lawful owners – the people of the Sultanate of Sulu. These are three (3) options available to resolve the Sabah illegal occupation by Malaysia.

HM SULTAN MUHAMMAD FUAD ABDULLA KIRAM I,
THE SULTAN OF SULU & THE SULTAN OF SABAH, APPEALS
TO END ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF SABAH BY MALAYSIA



The Sultan of Sulu and The Sultan of Sabah prays for the good people of Sabah to recognize and know that Sabah belongs to The Sultan of Sulu and The Sultan of Sabah and the Sultanate of Sulu as lawful owners, and that Malaysia illegally occupied Sabah since 1963. He appeals to the good people of Sabah and the fair-minded leaders of the international community to end the Malaysian illegal occupation and return Sabah to its lawful owners, so that roads, hospitals, electricity plants, schools, drinking water supply system and other basic services can be realized in Sulu. Out of 18 towns of Sulu province alone, only the town of Jolo has cursory power and water and some roads, but all the 17 towns of Sulu lack these services and infrastructures depriving the people of their basic needs that have been existing for many many years that must be urgently resolved.

HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I representing the people of the Sultanate of Sulu being the lawful owners of Sabah comment that, in the event of successful Sabah recovery from Malaysia, the Royal Family and the Sultanate of Sulu will not drive anyone out of Sabah, be it may Malaysians, Tamils, Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Tausugs, Australians, Europeans, Americans, or other nationalities, etc.

HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad I further states that any investor or any developer who put their investment capital in Sabah will not be dispossessed of their investment, and that the rule of law will be upheld, with no distinction of any kind, such as race, color, language, gender, religion, political or other opinion, social origin, property, birth or other status, etc.

HM Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I further envisions that one day the nations of the international community will finally intervene to force the departure of Malaysia in Sabah, as the illegal land grabbing and unlawful occupation of Sabah by Malaysia dispossessing the poor people of the Sultanate of Sulu of their Sabah land ownership, cannot be condoned and tolerated forever by good nations and peoples who believe in natural justice and in a fair and just society, as the acts of illegal occupation of Sabah by Malaysia are against the rule of law.

MALAYSIA ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED SABAH SINCE 1963 TO THIS DAY. It was said that a referendum was held for the people of Sabah to join Malaysia but this referendum was unfair and unlawful because Malaysia did not inform and did not give any opportunity to the owners of Sabah namely the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu to present their side as landowners of Sabah before and during the said referendum.

Therefore, this referendum, being unilateral and one-sided was unlawful and null and void 'ab initio' and had no effect on the land ownership of the Sultan of Sulu and the Sultanate of Sulu over Sabah. Sabah is still the property of the Sultan and the Sultanate of Sulu to this day.

We, His Majesty Sultan Muhammad Fuad Abdulla Kiram I, as The Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah, Head of the Sultanate and Head of Islam in the Sultanate of Sulu & Sabah, along with our Royal Family and our Royal Cabinet, support A FREE AND INDEPENDENT SABAH under a Parliamentary Monarchy whereby Members of Parliament are elected by the people of Sabah provided, howsoever, that a free and independent Sabah will be under our reign and our successors according to law of succession as the King of Sabah.

In this proposal, the King of Sabah will reign and the Sabah Parliament will rule and administer services beneficial to all the people of Sabah.

This proposal will finally resolve the Sabah matter because The Sultan of Sulu & The Sultan of Sabah, as lawful owner, has agreed with this compromise solution that will be a win-win position to everyone concerned.

This also means that the resources of Sabah and its gross domestic product, as well as the nearly 1 million barrels of oil pumped per day in Sabah, amounting to USD30 Billion per year, will be utilized for social and economic developments of the beloved people of Sabah.

As per energy report, Sabah contains over 70% of oil reserves of Malaysia today but with this reality, Malaysia (a Muslim nation) dispossessed their Muslim brothers and sisters of their Sabah property without just compensation.

This act of Malaysia is Un-Islamic and against the law of Allah, and must be rejected by good peoples and the international community of nations.

It is, however, necessary that Sabah assists in the much needed social and economic developments of their underprivileged Muslim brothers and sisters in the Sultanate of Sulu and of Mindanao.

We support this compromise solution together with our Royal Family, our Royal Cabinet and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) to resolve the Sabah matter by peaceful means.

When the good people of Sabah ejected Malaysia out of Sabah, they will be the masters of their own destiny and the masters of their resources in Sabah worth over USD30 Billion per year, with said resources now siphoned off to Kuala Lumpur with little amount left for social and economic developments of the epople of Sabah.

We pray the good people of Sabah will act soon on this win-win solution to resolve the Sabah matter by peaceful means. We support a free and independent Sabah as proposed by the Sabah Pro-Independence Movement.

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!!!"

Income to be derived from Sabah rent or Joint Administration will be used to develop Sulu to uplift the welfare of the Sulu people such as roads, hospitals, medicines, education, peace and order, etc. The correct rent payment by Malaysia to the Sultanate of Sulu and/or the Joint Administration of Sabah will be the solution to the Sabah issue. In any Joint Administration the Sultanate of Sulu will insist that 50% of the earnings will be for Sabah people social and economic developments and 25% each for Malaysia and the Sultanate of Sulu.

If the rental payment or Joint Administration is not acceptable then Malaysia must vacate Sabah and return Sabah to the lawful owners – the people of the Sultanate of Sulu. These are three (3) options available to resolve the Sabah illegal occupation by Malaysia.
