The 20-point Malaysian Agreement For Sabah

LESS WE FORGET.....

Point 1: Religion

While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia, there should be no State religion in North Borneo, and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of Malaya should not apply in North Borneo.

Point 2: Language

(a) Malay should be the national language of the Federation.
(b) English should continue to be used for a period of ten years after Malaysia Day.
(c) English should be the official language of North Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal without limitation of time.

Point 3: Constitution

Whilst accepting that the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should form the basis of the Constitution of Malaysia, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document drafted and agreed in the light of free association of States and should not be a series of amendments to a constitution drafted and agreed by different States in totally different circumstances. A new Constitution for North Borneo was, of course, essential.

Point 4: Head of the Federation

The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation.

Point 5: Name of the Federation

"Malaysia" but not "Melayu Raya"

Point 6: Immigration

Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Federation Government but entry into North Borneo should also require approval of the State Government. The Federal Government should not be able to veto the entry of persons into North Borneo for State Government purposes except on strictly security grounds. North Borneo should have unfettered control over the movement of reasons, other than those in Federal Government employ, from other parts of Malaysia into North Borneo.


Point 7: Right of Secession

There should be no right to secede from the Federation.

Point 8: Borneanisation

Borneanisation of the public services should proceed as quickly as possible.

Point 9: British Officers

Every effort should be made to encourage British Officers to remain in the public services until their places can be taken by suitably qualified people from North Borneo.

Point 10: Citizenship

The recommendations in paragraph 148 (K) of the Report of the Cobbold commission should govern the citizenship rights of persons in the Federation of North Borneo subject to the following amendments.

(a) Subparagraph (1) should not contain the provision as to fie years residence.

(b) In order to tie up with our law, subparagraph (1a) should read 'seven out of ten years' instead of 'eight out of twelve years'.

(c) Subparagraph (III) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in North Borneo after Malaysia must be a Federal citizen.

Point 11: Tariff and Finance

North Borneo should have control of its own finance, development funds and tariffs.

Point 12: Special Position of Indigenous Races

In principle, the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, but the present Malaya formula is this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo.

Point 13: State Government

(a) The Chief Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council.
(b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo.


Point 14: Transitional Period

This should be seven years and during such period legislative powers must be left with the State of North Borneo by the Constitution and not merely delegated to the State Government by the Federal Government.

Point 15: Education

The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under State control.

Point 16: Constitutional Safeguards

No amendment, modification or withdrawal of any special safeguards granted to North Borneo should be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Government of the State of North Borneo. The power of amending the Constitution of the State of North Borneo should belong exclusively to the people of the State.

Point 17: Representation in the Federal Parliament

This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its size and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore.

Point 18: Name of Head of State

Yang Dipertua Negara

Point 19: Name of State

Sabah

Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc

The provisions in the Constitution of the Federation in respect of the power of the National Land Council should not apply in North Borneo. Likewise, the National Council for the Local Government should not apply in North Borneo.

'Bantah Azmin ketuai PKR Sabah' (sumber: malaysiakini.com)

PKR Sabah nampaknya berdepan dengan masalah apabila sekumpulan ketua bahagian telah menyuarakan rasa tidak yakin mereka terhadap kepimpinan naib presiden Azmin Ali yang dilantik mengetuai PKR negeri itu baru-baru ini.

Seramai 16 ketua bahagian PKR mengadakan mesyuarat tidak rasmi malam tadi di lokasi yang tidak didedahkan di Kota Kinabalu berhubung isu tersebut.

Perjumpaan selama satu jam itu dipengerusikan oleh ketua bahagian Kota Belud, Jalumin Boyogoh Samin.

Jalumin tidak dapat dihubungi untuk mendapat komen tetapi ia disahkan bahawa hasil pertemuan tersebut, telah disampaikan kepada pucuk pimpinan parti itu di Kuala Lumpur dan Pulau Pinang.

Dua puluh tiga daripada 25 ketua bahagian, tidak termasuk Sepanggar dan Sandakan yang telah digantung, dan Azmin, dilaporkan dijemput menghadiri pertemuan itu melalui SMS.

Difahamkan tujuh bahagian yang tidak diwakili ialah Tuaran, Kalabakan, Semporna, Ranau, Tawau, Lahad Datu dan Libaran.

Tawau tidak menghadiri mesyuarat tidak rasmi itu kerana mahu kekal berkecuali, kata seorang sumber parti. Seorang daripada tiga timbalan pengerusi PKR negeri, Kong Hong Ming, mengetuai bahagian tersebut.

Azmin, sepertimana yang disahkan oleh dua ketua bahagian secara berasingan, tidak hadir.

Sebaliknya, Azmin berpesan bahawa beliau bersetuju ketua bahagian Kalabakan, Hamzah Amir mengambil alih jawatan ketua PKR Sabah dan mengesahkan bahawa beliau akan menyampaikan perkara itu kepada pucuk pimpinan parti.

Hamzah, seorang Bajau, adalah bekas yang dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Tawau.

Begini bah senario kita di Malaysia nie.... itu timbangan misti patah by next election. Itu biru misti kana tukar. Saya AMAT setuju diperingkat Nasional kita sukung Pakatan bentuk kerajaan. Tapi di Sabah, sia rasa lain cerita dia.....

Mari kita tingu antara keadaan sekarang ini yang inda disukai oleh rakyat Sabah. Pertama... isu pemilihan Ketua Menteri. Kamu suka atau tidak... bukan DUN Sabah yang secara independent pilih Ketua Menteri kita sekarang. Sebenarnya... yang pilih... dari seberang dan hanya diendos oleh DUN Sabah. Jadi, kalau KM kita bukan rakyat Sabah yang pilih (yang diwakili oleh ADUN-ADUN Sabah) dan sebenarnya dilantik oleh orang seberang, maka kesetiaan KM kita bukanlah kepada RAKYAT SABAH..... tapi setia kepada yang melantiknya. Dia akan tunduk kepada orang yang melantiknya, walaupun apa-apa hal yang mau diputus itu bukanlah untuk kepentingan rakyat Sabah. KM kita nda takut sama rakyat Sabah.... sebab bukan rakyat Sabah yang melantik dia. Dia terhutang budi kepada orang yang melantiknya. Dia akan kow-tow kepada orang yang melantikya.... bukan pasal dia hormat sama orang yang melantiknya, tapi takut kana buang kerja KM. Jadi sistem BN ini misti orang Sabah buang jauh-jauh saaaana Laut Cina Selatan. Jadi apa pilihan kita sekarang???

Mau pilih kerajaan Pakatan untuk Sabah??? Cuba kita tingu artikel di atas.... siapa Ketua Perhubungan PKR Sabah? Dari seberang kan... kan.... kan.... Jadi.... kalaulah Pakatan berjaya tubuh Kerajaan di Sabah.... siapa kita rasa jadi KM Sabah? Christina Liew pun mau.... Ansari pun mau... Jeffrey pun mau.... nah sekarang si Hamzah pula yang si Azmin mau surung-surung. Kamurang nda nampak ka ini? Apa yang PKR Sabah offer sekarang untuk Sabah.... mirip-mirip dan seiras sistem BN. Saya gerenti.... kalaulah Pakatan memerintah Sabah.... bukan ADUN Sabah yang pilih siapa KM kita.... dari seberang juga kan.... Jadi kamurang gembira kah kalau gini? Kamu happy... kana buat macam tu karabau kana tunggohing?

Kita TIADA pilihan warga Sabah yang saya kasihi.... KECUALI kita bagi sokongan padu sama satu Sabah based party yang kita buli surung untuk kerjasama sama Kerajaan Pakatan diperingkat Nasional nanti. Nda kira apa bangsa kamurang.... KDM kah...Bajau kah... Cina kah... kalau kita bagi sokongan padu sama Sabah based party, maka kita bukan lagi macam itu karabau kana tarik sini sana dimana DIORANG suka. Ya... kita memang mau sokong Pakatan untuk kasi tumbang ini timbangan berat sebelah. Tapi orang putih bilang ON OUR OWN TERMS dalam konteks Sabah. Jadi pikir-pikirlah mana satu parti politik Sabah yang boleh memainkan peranan BENTENG TERAKHIR kita ini? Sebenarnya, Sabah sekarang dalam keadaan 'gelap' as far as political autonomy is concern. Tepuk dada, tanya selera... kalau gelap carilah matahari... Mudah-mudahan kamurang dapat pedoman.

P/S... itu yang ada simbol tangan.... nda buli pakai sudah tu. Kita buang juga di Laut Cina Selatan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!!!

46 years ago today... a NEW NATION was born.... it was named MALAYSIA. Less we forget.... Malaysia was formed 46 years ago TODAY!

Facts: Before 16 September 1963.... Malaysia does not exist as a NATION!

Sabah Bumis doomed due to loopholes in the land laws: Ex-Minister

Kota Kinabalu: The Government has been urged to impose a limit to non-Sabahans owning land in Sabah and to set aside land for the indigenous people who are still lagging behind, like the Malay reserves in Peninsular Malaysia.

Veteran politician, Datuk Ayub Aman, said he was saddened by the unfettered changing of hands in land ownership from the indigenous people to non-Sabahans.

"The loopholes in our land laws should be plugged. As it is today, even native titles can be leased for a period, which is as good as owning such land," he lamented.

With the present scarcity of available land and at the pace of ownership change from the indigenous people to non-bumiputeras, especially to non-Sabahans, as well as the policy of alienating vast tracts to big companies, including public listed companies, the fate of the bumiputeras in land ownership is doomed, Ayub predicted.

Ayub also slammed the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for calling on the Government to scrap the work permit requirement for non-Sabahan Malaysians seeking employment and business in Sabah.

He said the Immigration power of the State Government is about the only meaningful right left under the 20-Point agreement entered between Sabah/Sarawak and the then Malayan Government as a post-Malaysia safeguard to protect the interests of the people in either State.

At least in Sabah most of the rest of the 20 Points have either been diluted beyond any functional value or evolved into oblivion through entrenchment of the federal system, albeit with the consent of succeeding political leaders, he added. Among others, these included State religion.

Under the 20-Point agreement, Sabah, having a multi-religious and multi-cultural population, was not to have a State religion although it was accepted that Islam was the State religion at national level, which was scrapped during the Usno era, he said.

On the Immigration issue, Ayub said apart from still being relevant, it is also pertinent to the uniqueness and agreed autonomy of Sabah within Malaysia as intended by the founding fathers.

As such, the issue should not and must not be compromised, let alone call for its abolition, he stressed.

He recalled that State control of immigration was one of the many safeguards to protect the interests of Sabahans strongly advocated by OKK Sedomon Gunsanad, a Pasok Momogun leader then, because he was concerned about the locals' inability to compete with the more aggressive and knowledgeable non-Sabahans in terms of exploiting socio-economic opportunities.

This happened when Tun Razak visited him at his house in Keningau to explain the Malaysia concept prior to the establishment of Malaysia.

OKK Sedomon's requests were subsequently taken up by the Sabah Alliance Party and, hence, the drafting and finally the birth of the 20-Point agreement.

Ayub who served as Cabinet Minister in the Berjaya government, admitted that it was a mistake for the Berjaya Government to open the immigration gate to Sarawakians.

But he maintained that the policy was well intended since the understanding was mutual between both states. However, until today, Sarawak has not reciprocated.

"Given the raison d'être behind the immigration right of both Sabah and Sarawak, I think the Sarawak leaders were being wise, while we were being naively generous," he opined.

To LDP's Datuk Chin Su Phin's contention that it was the politicians rather than the people who want the immigration control over fellow Malaysians from outside Sabah, Ayub said:

"This a representative democracy for goodness sake. However, LDP and Chin may declare their contention to the people come next election and they can treat the issue as a referendum to prove their point."

"I suggest that Chin seek the view of the political elders who were directly involved in the formation of Malaysia, specifically on the spirit behind the request for and the grant of the state power on immigration and the 20 Points, in general."

He said that whatever was left of the 20-Point agreement are being zealously guarded by the people of Sabah.

Ayub agreed with PBS President Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan that the State's right and autonomy have nothing to do with the 1Malaysia concept, which is currently being promoted to unite the nation.

Projek PAS tawan Sabah, Sarawak

Dewan Pemuda PAS bawah kepemimpinan baru akan meningkatkan kempennya di Sabah dan Sarawak dalam usaha membantu Pakatan Rakyat menguasai kerajaan persekutuan, kata ketuanya.

"Kita ada projek 'Semenanjung 2' bagi mengukuhkan tapak Dewan Pemuda di Sabah, Sarawak dan Labuan," kata Nasrudin Hassan.

"Jadi untuk itu, kita fikir, Sabah dan Sarawak tidak boleh dipandang di kelas kedua atau dipandang sepi. Kita bakal mewujudkan satu lajnah baru khusus untuk Sabah dan Sarawak agar kita dapat benar-benar pastikan PAS mampu tapak kukuh seperti di Semenanjung."

KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan urged all Sabahans, especially the Kadazan-Dusun and Murut (KDM) communities, to give full support to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his "1Malaysia" concept.

Labuan: 'KL failed to fulfil objective'

Kota Kinabalu: Labuan can be developed into a strong and sustainable economic and financial centre, provided the Federal Government changes its attitude towards the local leaders and civil servants.

Former Chief Minister Datuk Harris Salleh said the Federal Government must also listen to local views and requests.

"Hope will always remain a hope, therefore, it is a hope that the Federal Government will take steps to develop Labuan and make Labuan a Little Singapore as promised and envisaged," he said

In a statement in conjunction with Labuan's Silver Jubilee, Harris said the State Government handed over Labuan to the Federal Government in 1984 in the hope of ensuring that Labuan would be economically viable and become a "Little Singapore".

The idea sprang up 25 years ago because the Federal Government has the power and funds to turn Labuan into an economically developed urban island, he said.

But, Harris said it was evidently clear that over these years, the Federal Government had failed to develop in all respects, to convert Labuan into "Little Singapore" as well as to create economic activities to sustain and assure the present and future.

***************************************************

Beginilah Haris.... kau sudah let go sama Labuan.... jadi, jangan lagi menyesal. Kau yang kasi lapas ni harta Sabah sama dorang... jadi... apa lagi bah yang kau mau cakap ini? Kau tau sudah kita kana buuuuuuuuuuuyuk saja... sejak dari kita tubuhkan Malaysia sama dorang... mana ada kebaikan ketara untuk Sabah??? Kana kasi lima sen ada lah... Sekarang kau mau cakap dorang nda kasi bangun Labuan sepertimana yang kau harap-harapkan.... apa guna? Nasi bukan saja sudah jadi bubur... sudah bakarak lah bossssss.

Malaysian Catholics oppose new non-'Allah' Bible

(Source: malaysiakini.com)

A Malay-language Bible that does not use the word "Allah" has caused controversy among Malaysian Catholics, as the church here fights a court case to guarantee its right to use the word.

MCPX

The Catholic Herald newspaper, in its Sunday edition, criticised the release of the new Bible this week at an international bookfair, which uses the Hebrew word "Elohim" instead of "Allah" for God.

"The Catholic Bible that the church uses has the word 'Allah' for God whereas in comparison, this one does not," the paper's editor Father Lawrence Andrew told AFP.

"The new Malay Bible weakens the argument for using the word Allah because some groups are trying to substitute God with a foreign name, whereas Allah is the Malay word for God and has been the accepted translation for centuries," he said.

"The publishers have copied substantially from the Indonesian Bible which was approved by the Indonesian Bible Society and the Catholic Church but this new version has not been approved by the society or the church in Indonesia or here."

The publishers of the Bible could not be reached for comment.

Christians using the word 'Allah' for centuries

The Catholic Church has taken legal action against the government after it was ordered not to use the disputed word under threat of having its paper's publishing permit revoked.

Malaysian authorities argue the word should be used only by Muslims, who form the bulk of the country's multicultural population.

Andrew said Malaysian Christians have been using the word "Allah" for centuries in translations of the Bible, and in popular prayers. The opposition has also called for the ban to be revoked.

"The term 'Allah' has been used in Indonesia and the Middle East by Christians without prosecution or controversy, despite both being overwhelmingly Muslim-majority regions," opposition lawmaker Tony Pua said.

"It has been proven beyond doubt that it is not a term specifically monopolised only by Muslims," he said in a statement yesterday.

A court is expected to decide on May 28 whether the Church has the right to use the word. - AFP

Anguished mom knocks on PM's door for answers

(Source: malaysiakini.com)

Her three young children were forcefully converted to Islam by her estranged husband. And M Indira Ghandi is taking her plight straight to the doorstep of the Prime Minister's Office.

MCPX

Calling on newly-minted Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to explain the matter, the 35-year-old kindergarten teacher said: "He talks about an united Malaysia. But what does this mean when only the Muslims have rights."

"I am not anti-Islam and I am not saying that they (Muslims) are doing wrong things but why do non-Muslims have to suffer like this?" she asked as tears welled up in her eyes.

Indira's marriage is now is a limbo after her husband, K Patmanathan, 40, converted without her knowledge on March 11.

She claimed that her husband, who has since assumed the name Mohd Ridzuan Abdullah, had also converted their three children - aged one to 12 - on April 12 without their presence and using only their birth certificates.

"He took my baby (their youngest child) from me and ran away... I have not seen her ever since and I don't know how she's doing," lamented Indira.

As for her marriage, the teacher, who also claimed to have been physically abused, said the couple were married for 16 years and had been facing problems for a long time.

"It started so many years back that I can no longer keep track of when it started.

"Recently he asked for a divorce and I thought to myself that since that was what he wanted, I consented but he did not want to start the process and demanded that I do so.

"So I went to a marriage tribunal and filed for counselling in Ipoh but he never attended any of the counselling sessions," she said.

Indira claimed that after one particular explosive argument, which also involved her mother and sisters, her husband fled with their youngest daughter, Prasana Diksa.

"When we went to the police station and lodged a report, no immediate action was taken although my baby was still very young and needed to be breast-fed," she said.

Since that incident, Indira has filed six police reports, with one alleging that she feared for her life because her husband had threatened her.

Indira said the police managed to locate her husband later but only to discover that he had converted the children.

'I don't know what to do'

The couple's two other children - Tevi Darsiny, 12 and Karan Dinesh, 11 - are currently living with Indira, but both have sought refuge with a relative fearing that Islamic officials would take them away.

"I was neither told nor asked about it (the conversion)... I don't know what to do," she lamented.

According to Indira, her husband had called her last Wednesday and promised to return her youngest child.

"He asked me to come to the Islamic Department (Jais) in Ipoh and collect my baby because he could not care for her. But he didn't show up.

"Instead, there was a man waiting there to serve me papers from the Syariah Court granting custody of my other children to him," she said.

However, she refused to accept the papers as she believed that syariah laws had no jurisdiction over her.

As for her husband's conversion, Indira said he had spoken about his interest in Islam but she claimed this was related to monetary gains.

"I have no idea what his intentions are... but he mentioned once before that we will get RM5,000 each if we 'nikah' (marry according to Islamic rights) and money would also be given on a monthly basis to each of our children for education purposes.

"Over the past couple of days, he kept calling me and asked me to convert to Islam. He told me that I should convert first and then we, as in the whole family, can opt out later and go back to Hinduism," she said, adding that she wanted to remain a Hindu.

Meanwhile, Indira has sought the help of several legal advisers, non-Muslim organisations and the public.

"This is not only my case, many people are suffering because of this. We are filing for the custody of my children because they don't want to go to their father, and they (the other party) are rejecting this.

"But the question is even if I can get back my children, will they be Hindu again? Why does it only take a day to convert my children but it is so difficult to return to their old religion?" she asked.

"Don't I have say in it, when I was the one who carried them for nine months... aren't they my children too? What exactly is my right and my children's rights?

"The government say this is a country where it is free to practice your own religion but what is the right of a non-Muslim in this situation?" she asked.

APA BAH YANG SI MUHYIDDIN BETUL-BETUL CAKAP?

Petikan daripada apa yang dia cakap:

“Ini yang mungkin menyebabkan sukar BN mendapat sokongan walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi.

“Pada waktu itu, kita pun tidak berharap sokongan kaum Cina akan meningkat 40 peratus dan sebagainya cuma kita berharap ada peningkatan sedikit tetapi apa yang berlaku ia mencatatkan penurunan, macam tidak ada penghargaan terhadap apa yang kita lakukan.”

Untuk wawancara penuh sila klik disini.

Jadi kamurang jadi juri lah.... kamurang sendiri yang tafsir apa yang TPM bilang.

MUHYIDDIN MENAFIKAN

Dalam kenyataannya hari ini.... TPM menafikan beliau ada menggunakan perkataan "UNGRATEFUL" atau... ntah macam mana mau cakap nie... "tidak berterima-kasih...", "tidak bersyukur.." atau "tidak menghargai"? Tapi kamurang buat kesimpulan sendirilah bah....

Petikan dari malaysiakini.com:

He also denied saying the Chinese were ungrateful in the interview.

"No, no (I didn't say ungrateful). Did you read my Bahasa (Malaysia)? Even (deputy education minister) Wee Ka Siong knows bahasa.

"In bahasa, I said 'seolah-olah tak menghargai' (‘They seemed to be unappreciative').

"You have to read the whole context. Don't pick up just like that," he said.

Jadi... kana misquote lah mangkali kita punya TMP nie. Tapi kamurang buli faham bah kan... "SEOLAH-OLAH TAK MENGHARGAI". Lain kah maksud tu ah.... ada yang tersirat kah dalam kenyataan si Muhyiddin ini. Ini dia sendiri yang cakap....

MUHYIDDIN BILANG......

TPM baru kita Muhyiddin Yasin bilang BN rasa tertipu oleh pengundi Cina kerana mereka telah memberikan sokongan padu kepada Pakatan Rakyat dalam dua Pilihanraya Kecil "atas bukit" baru-baru ini. Dia bilang.. para pengundi Cina patut berterima kasih kepada BN kerana bantuan Kerajaan BN kepada sekolah-sekolah Cina. Aiseyyy man.... apa punya mengaus punya statement kita punya TPM baru cakap ini....

Pertama... wahai Muhyiddin, rakyat tidak perlu BERTERIMA-KASIH kepada pemimpin. PEMIMPIN harus dan mesti berterima-kasih kepada RAKYAT kerana telah diberi peluang untuk bergelar "YANG BERHORMAT". Sepatutnya panggilan yang lebih sesuai untuk YB ADALAH "YANG BERKHIDMAT". Rakyat tidak bekerja untuk pemimpin tetapi sebaliknya, PEMIMPIN BEKERJA UNTUK RAKYAT.

Kedua.... wahai TPM, duit yang kamurang bagi-bagi untuk "Projek Maggi Mee" waktu pilihanraya kecil.... bukan BAPA KAMU punya.... bukan UMNO punya dan bukan TIMBANGAN punya! Itu duit.... RAKYAT punya. Jadi, kenapa pula rakyat harus berterima-kasih kepada Kerajaan sedangkan hak pembangunan adalah untuk SEMUA rakyat dan bukan untuk rakyat yang pakai baju biru saja. Kenapa pula rakyat harus berterima-kasih sedangkan itu duit rakyat punya. Kamu nda paham-paham lagi kenapa tsunami 308 berlaku.... dan kalau BN tidak main buyuk di Sabah dan Sarawak.... silap-silap kepunan bah kau itu jawatan TPM tu.

Macam-macam kamurang cakap... "UBAH atau REBAH".... buat reformasi ini... buat reformasi itu... berani berubah. Begini lah wahai TPM.... selagi mentaliti pemimpin BN macam kau ini tidak berubah.... jangan harap kamu buli tarik balik sebahagian besar rakyat untuk menyokong kamu lagi. Kalau beginilah cara orang BN terus berfikir..... taufan perubahan pasti sampai.... dan bila angin ribut sampai nanti.... saya pasti kamu masih tertanya-tanya... KENAPA RAKYAT TIDAK BERTERIMA-KASIH SAMA BN?

JAPLIN KANA TAHAN....

Ketua Pemuda UMNO Sabah, YB. Datuk Japlin Akin telah ditahan oleh Suruhanjaya Anti-Rasuah Malaysia (MACC) pada hari Khamis dan telah direman selama 3 hari untuk membantu dalam siasatan. Beliau telah dibebaskan hari ini. Japlin yang juga merupakan Pembantu Menteri Pembangunan Perindustrian telah didapati bersalah oleh Lembaga Disiplin UMNO bulan lepas sebelum Perhimpunan Agung UMNO.

Beliau telah ditahan bersama-sama dengan seorang kontraktor tempatan, En. Limus Jury yang juga telah dibebaskan dengan ikat jamin. Japlin telah dikenakan bayaran ikat-jamin sebanyak RM100,000 manakala Limus Jury dikenakan ikat jamin RM300,000.... alala... macam berat betul ni kes nie tau.... Tapi kita mesti ambil pendekatan INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY..... bukan macam sesetengah orang yang pakai baju biru.... bulum-bulum lagi sudah cakap salah. Tapi... biasalah bah kita nie kan.... kita orang kampung suka betul buat andaian.... cerita kadai kupi... siok bah kan... gosip-menggosip nie. Lagi tapi.... jarang-jarang juga bah itu pokok beguyang ranting dia kalau bukan kana tiup angin kan... tapi kalau tiada angin....ada tupai lumpat-lumpat.... guyang juga tu ranting. Maka.... timbulah bah spekulasi.... kana framed pula....

Penangkapan kedua-dua mereka dibuat oleh sekumpulan pegawai MACC dari Putrajaya... dan bukan dari K.K. Macam high-powered arrest pula tau. Dingar-dingar cerita kadai kupi... si Japlin ini orang kuat si KJ. Aikk.... palan-palan kah ini jalan menuju rumah si KJ. Kita tunggu dan lihat lah.... jangan kita speculate macam-macam. Selain dua ekor ini.... Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan (Timbalan Ketua Pemuda UMNO Sabah) dan Faizal Ampong (mantan Ketua Pemuda batu Sapi) juga kana panggil MACC untuk bantu siasatan. Bah... kita tunggu sajalah kalau MACC betul-betul BEBAS.... kita tunggu dulu dorang buat siasatan.... jangan pula main wayang saja.

BN BULI BERUBAH....?

Ini adalah beberapa petikan daripada artikel LIZ CHONG yang bertajuk MENGENALI MALAYSIA ADALAH MENCINTAI MALAYSIA (To Know Malaysia Is To Know Malaysia)....

[Liz Chong telah dibesarkan di K.L. dan telah belajar di London School of Economics dalam bidang "Kerajaan dan Undang-Undang". Beliau memperolehi M.Sc. dalam bidang Comparative Politics di L.S.E. dan pernah bertugas sebagai wartawan untuk Bloomberg dan The Times. Beliau kini menetap di London.]

(1) ".....It appears that we inhabit an entirely parallel world to our politicians. Government officials receive kindly coverage in the newspapers and it seems that their words become the gospel truth the more often they are repeated. This is common throughout much of Asia. Yes, it is ultimately “Malaysia, truly Asia”.

(2) "....There is one set of rules for the powerful while the rest of the country must contend with another. A great hole has been torn in our social fabric by the breakdown of the legal system and the corrosive impact of rapid urbanisation...."

(3) ".....There are those who choose to migrate, packing up and saying goodbye to all they have known, loved and despised. And then there are the young who stay on abroad after finishing their degrees. Some have parents and grandparents who urge them not to return..... So young Malaysians stay away in pursuit of opportunities few could have at home unless they are well-connected...... But I also recognise that London has always been purely meritocratic as far as I’m concerned. I came here not knowing a single soul and managed to secure good jobs by virtue of my abilities. I have never felt that I was denied a job because of the colour of my skin or my family’s lack of familiarity with the CEO....."

******************

Artikel oleh Liz Chong ini menarik perhatian saya. Macam dia cerita apa yang sedang di alami oleh kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia. Kalau lah Kerajaan BN masih tertanya-tanya apa yang telah menyebabkan tsunami politik pada Mac 2008 dan baru-baru ini satu lagi TEMPELAK dari penduduk Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selembau... maka artikel ini menceritakan sebahagian besar rintihan rakyat Malaysia. Tiada guna berjuta reformasi dijanjikan kalau tiada satu inci pun tindakan konkrit dari Kerajaan BN untuk meyakinkan semula rakyat kepada timbangan yang nampaknya dalam penggal terakhirnya untuk memerintah negara.

Pertama.... Liz Chong menyatakan bahawa pihak Kerajaan mendapat liputan positif dari pihak media massa dan apa yang diungkapkan Kerajaan adalah segala-galanya BENAR.... Gospel Truth orang putih bilang. Penyalahgunaan media sebegini yang sebenarnya telah memberikan tanggapan yang negatif rakyat terhadap Kerajaan BN. Bagi saya....media kita (terutama media tradisional) takut untuk mengkritik Kerajaan..... nanti kana tarik lesen... nah habis periuk nasi dorang. Jadi KEBEBASAN media sebenarnya tidak wujud.

Kedua.... kami rasa macam ada 2 set undang-undang yang dipakai. Satu untuk Kerajaan BN dan yang satu lagi untuk yang lain-lain macam sia ini. Kalau orang-orang pembangkang rasa-rasa macam buat salah.... capat betul tindakan yang dibuat... tapi bila Kerajaan yang buat salah... pihak yang bertanggung-jawab macam mau kasi slow tu siasatan dan pendakwaan. Satu contoh yang ketara... macam ada selective prosecution yang dijalankan oleh BPR (sekarang ini MACC). Rakyat biasa macam saya ini... nampak bah apa yang berlaku.... orang kampung macam saya ini buli rasa bah... itu timbangan berat sebelah. Jadi.... kalau mau rakyat sokong.... betulkan itu timbangan.... kasih rata dia... orang undang-undang suka cakap ini ungkapan.... JUSTICE MUST NOT ONLY BE DONE... BUT IT MUST BE SEEN TO BE DONE. Dalam hal ini.... saya rakyat biasa.... tidak rasa ini berlaku...saya tidak nampak ini berlaku. Sia mau kasi tau Kerajaan BN... kalau mau berubah... BERANILAH BERUBAH.... rakyat bukan bodoh... rakyat bukan buta.... kami nampak apa yang berlaku.... dan saya tiada masalah dengan Kerajaan BN kalaulah BETUL-BETUL dia berubah.

Ketiga.... ungkapan ini adalah benar... BUKAN APA YANG KAU TAU.... TAPI SIAPA YANG KAU TAU... Ini kenyataan... ini kebenaran. Dari mencari pekerjaan saaaampai apply kontark juta-juta... semua perlu SIAPA YANG KAU TAU! Bukan itu saja... warna kulit kaupun buli menentukan samada kau dapat itu jawatan.... warna kulit kau buli menentukan kau dapat itu kontrak atau tidak. Bukan pasal kau ada kelulusan.... bukan pasal kau ada keupayaan. Kita jangan pigi jauh bah... kita tanya saja sama Kerajaan BN Sabah pada ketika ini. Cuba gia kamurang kasi keluar statistik perlantikan dalam jawatan awam menurut kaum... Rata-rata kita nampak siapa yang dilantik..... cuba kasi keluar statistik kalau berani.... Kasi keluar statistik perlantikan dari tukang sapu saaaaaaampai pegawai tinggi Kerajaan. Ketidakseimbangan begini lah yang telah membuat rakyat muak. Nda payah bah kamurang mau buat kajian mendalam kanapa jadi tsunami Mac 2008.... kamu tau apa yang sudah dan sedang berlaku. Jadi.... jangan lagi tanya KENAPA.... satu saja... BERANI BERUBAH.... rakyat bukan dungu... rakyat bukan berhati batu....rakyat buli menilai semula. Ini sudah tatap. RAKYAT BULI BERUBAH... BN BULI BERUBAH?

Kabinet Najib "KECIL"?

Kabinet Badawi... 32 Menteri, 38 Timbalan Menteri. Kabinet Najib... 28 Menteri, 40 Timbalan Menteri. Kementerian pula telah dikurangkan daripada 28 Kementerian kepada 25 Kementerian. Nampak macam kana kasi kurang lah bah kan.... Kana trimmed down lah kunun.

Najib bilang ini Kabinet dia menggambarkan matlamat Kerajaan untuk memberi tumpuan kepada paradigma "Keutamaan rakyat" (people-first paradigm). 4 jawatan Menteri telah dikurangkan.... tapi jawatan Timabalan Menteri ditambah 2. Fungsi dan peranan Kementerian yang telah dimansuhkan akan diserapkan ke Kementerian lain. Hmmm.. tapi... ada lagi.... Si Najib bilang satu Majlis Penasihat Kewangan atau Council of Financial Advisors telah ditubuhkan... dan para ahli Majlis ini bertanggung-jawab secara langsung kepada Perdana Menteri. Najib juga cakap kedudukan ahli Majlis ini adalah BERTARAF MENTERI. Aikkk... kasi kurang 1 tambah 2.... kasi kurang 2 tambah 4 (macam main lap lap fu saja).... Kalau taraf Menteri... gaji pun... taraf Menteri lah bah itu kan... jadi.. apa yang dikurangkan? Cuma lain nama saja... Last-last saaaaaamaa saja.

Satu lagi... sia bingung bah ini... ada Menteri yang dipertanggung-jawabkan pasal PEMBANGUNAN PERTANIAN.... ada pula satu lagi MENTERI PERTANIAN.... Sia rasa ini satu yang tidak perlu kerana sudah tentu ada pertindihan fungsi dan peranan. Bikin banyak karaja saja... objektif sama. Nanti Bernard Dompok dan Noh Omar begaduh pula. Selain dari itu... sia rasa nda perlu lah bah 2 Menteri yang bertanggung-jawap pasal pelajaran./pendidikan.... satu tinggi... yang satu rendah kah?? Overlap begini buli bah dielakkan.... kanapa mau banyak tukang masak mau bikin masakan yang sama?

Jadi... bukan kici bah Kabinet si Najib ini. Dia bilang kana slim.... tau-tau banyak kolestrol... tinggi risiko... tinggi tanggungan. Yang kana terima, rakyat...yang menanggung kita... pembayar cukai. Jadi, apa macam si Najib bilang ini "mesra-rakyat"... apa macam ini set up mengutamakan paradigma "keutamaan rakyat"?

PBS: We are not 'other races'

Last last... ada juga orang yang bersuara kan.... Alala... mau masuk 46 tahun sudah ini kita sama-sama bikin Malaysia.... rupa-rupa kita nie... masih kategori "lain-lain"..... Ini lah barangkali Dr. Max maksud yang Sabah dan Sarawak "tidak diabaikan" dalam segala aspek oleh pemimpin-pemimpin kita dari seberang. Laaaama sudah sia perhatikan borang-borang yang ada... MELAYU, CINA, INDIA dan "LAIN-LAIN". Saaaaaaaaaaakit juga hati sia mau isi "LAIN-LAIN"..... lain-lain juga sia rasa. Ini lah respek yang dorang ada sama orang kita.... dorang anggap kita nie "LAIN-LAIN" saja. Harap-harap kana dangarlah si Johnny Mositun dan PBS nie kali. Sia boring sudah kana panggil 'LAIN-LAIN"!

RAKYAT BATANG AI SOKONG BN?

Buli tahan juga majoriti BN di Batang Ai ahhh. Tapi kanapa sia masih rasa macam ada yang nda ngam.... kanapa sia rasa sangsi sama tu rejaut???

Lebih kurang 8000 pengundi saja bah di Batang Ai tu.... bukan banyak betul. Majoriti pengundi kaum Iban. Kalau kasi banding sama 2 bukit di Semenenjung yang dimenangi oleh Pakatan... jumlah sebegini macam kici saja bah. Kalau jumlah kici... senang lah bah kana "manipulate".... lebih-lebih lagi dengan jentera-jentera hebat BN dan keadaan geografi Batang Ai. Semua orang pun tau EC tu baruah siapa....

Batang Ai ni... nun jauh di pedalaman Sarawak. Jadi... kalau mau angkat kotak undi... pakailah bah helikopter kan... Ada laporan orang Pakatan disana cakap dorang mau escort itu kotak undi pi pusat pengiraan undi. Tapi orang EC bilang escort-mengescort ini tidak dibenarkan. Persoalan dia sekarang... nda mustahil kah itu kotak undi ditukar waktu kana bawa pakai heli? Di Sabah saja... banyak sudah insiden orang jumpa kotak undi dibuang di dalam hutan... tapi nda da tindakan apa-apa dibuat pihakberkuasa. Si Dominique Ng... orang kuat PKR Sarawak ada komplain sama itu EC.... tapi biasalah nda kana paduli...nda kana layan. Jadi... dorang beli lah bah kandadu dorang sendiri... untuk kasi kandadu itu kotak undi. Si Dominique bilang... bila mau buka sudah itu kotak undi. di pusat pengiraan..... satu saja kotak undi yang masih ada kandadu original (yang dorang beli). Yang lain? Kana tukar???

Bukan itu saja orang-orang Pakatan dapat "tangkap" 2 bas (40 seater omputih bilang) dan satu van dipenuhi pengundi-pengundi outstasi.... antah jembalang dari mana lagi nie.... Bila si Dominique cek dorang punya identiti... kebanyakan dorang (pengundi jembalang...) datang dari Kuching, Mukah dan Kanowit. Orang-orang dalam bas kasi tau si Dominique yang dorang ini... pekerja-pekerja KEMAS. Aikk.... apa pula 2 bas dan 1 van pekerja-pekerja KEMAS buat di Batang Ai... ngam-ngam election pula tu.

Bila ditanya pasal Batang Ai... si Anwar bilang memang dorang nda expect manang disana. Kanapa itu ah.... mungkin dia tau teknik pembuyukan yang dipakai nie... abis jangan kita lupa.... dia pun pernah dalam sistem pembuyuk duuuuuulu kan....

Jadi...untuk kasi pindik cerita panjang....bukan rakyat Batang Ai yang kasi manang BN... tapi jentera penipuan dan mesin pembuyukan BN lah yang akhirnya menewaskan suara rakyat Batang Ai. Tapi... ingat... satu kawasan sanang kau buat gitu.... tunggulah nanti pilihanraya negeri Sarawak. Kalau SEMUA rakyat bangun... tumbang bah itu mesin pembuyuk tu.

MAHATHIR TIDAK LUPA ANWAR...

"Tidak ada orang yang saya angkat (begitu tinggi), angkat sehingga dia sampai ke langit, tinggal sikit lagi sahaja (untuk jawatan perdana menteri), tapi (dia) tidak tahan, tidak boleh tunggu, nak juga bagi saya jatuh cepat-cepat," katanya.

“Never have I elevated someone to such a status, but I did it for him. (He had to wait just) a bit more, but not it did not happen. He couldn’t wait, he wanted to oust me quicker.

*****************************

Terang-terang ini adalah pengakuan Dr. Mahathir yang dia lah dibelakang komplot menjatuhkan DSAI. Mahathir takut "dijatuhkan" Anwar... jadi sebelum dia "jatuh" bagus dia kasi "jatuh" si Anwar dulu. Dia buang Anwar pasal dia takut pengaruh si Anwar. Terang-terang bah ini... semua tuduhan yang dibuat ke atas Anwar sengaja dibuat-buat dan hantu di sebalik tabir.... tiada lain dan tiada bukan.... tepuk dada tanya selera.... tingu saja ucapan dia nie. Kamurang ingat kah... waktu mata lebam DSAI... apa si Mahathir bilang...??? Dia bilang si Anwar pukul diri sendiri.... terbukti si Mahathir buhung. Kita semua tau siapa yang pukul kan.... silap-silap yang tukang pukul pun kana kasi jadi scape goat... "Atas arahan" mangkali kan... siapa tau...

Sabah Tidak Diabaikan -Dr. Max

Petikan dari Daily Express:
Kota Marudu: The Federal Government had never neglected development programmes in Sabah and Sarawak but had always tried complement development in the peninsula with that of Sabah, Sarawak, especially in education, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Maximus. "We are very lucky to have a government that was always concerned with the well being of its people and education, including in Sabah and Sarawak.
**************************

Banyak bah sia mau cakap nie... antara dia sia mau kasi tau Dr. Max... KAU TAMBIRANG NUMBUR SATU! "Sabah tidak pernah diabaikan"? Betul bah Max... nda pernah diabaikan kau bilang? Cuba kita bandingkan 2 saja (ada baaanyak lagi...) senario pembangunan di Semenanjung sama di Sabah...

JALANRAYA

Semenanjung punya jalanraya bukan main hebat lagi.... siapa pernah pigi sana tau apa yang sia cakap. Lebuhraya Timur-Barat, Utara-Selatan.... kiri kanan.... Sampai jalan kampung dorang pun kana aspal sampai tangga rumah. Di Sabah.... nah kau tingu lah bah Dr. Max keadaan Jalanraya kita...kau Y.B. Kota Marudu... ada fight kah tu "highway" K.K. - Kota Marudu sama tu lebuhraya di Semenanjung? Lebih kurang 46 tahun sudah kita merdeka melalui penubuhan Malaysia.... kalau mau kasi gred jalanraya kita dari markah 1 hingga 10.... sia rasa dapat markah 1 saja... itupun markah kesian. Tidak di abaikan?


PELAJARAN

Ini pun kau mau buhung kah Dr. Max? Kau ingat orang Sabah nda nampak kah jurang perbezaan diantara Semenanjung dan Sabah. Kau ingat kami nie buta? Di Kampung Sulit dan Kampung Binajar Baru di Daerah Paitan... para pelajar hanya buli hadir kelas 14 hari SETAHUN SAHAJA! Kenapa? Dorang nda mampu kasi keluar RM15 sehari bikin tambang feri pigi sekolah dorang yang lebih kurang 80 kilometer jauhnya dari kampung dorang. Mereka terpaksa berjalan kaki selama empat setengah jam untuk pergi dan balik ke sekolah mereka! Kita mau masuk 46 tahun sudah nie merdeka melalui Malaysia, tidak patut masih ada keadaan sedih macam ini (Daily Express 18/3/2009). Di Semenanjung... kau nda buli dangar ada pelajar jalan kaki empat jam sehari untuk pergi dan balik dari sekolah dorang. Tidak di abaikan Dr. Max?

Jadi Dr. Max... apa macam kau bilang Sabah TIDAK PERNAH DIABAIKAN Oleh Kerajaan BN? Apa bah kau cakap ini? Sia tingu kamurang nie sudah hilang matlamat perjuangan kamu... bukan lagi untuk rakyat Sabah... tapi untuk mempertahankan kedudukan dan pangkat kamurang saja. TEMBERANG PUNYA MAXIMUS ONGKILI!

Ini trust orang putih bilang... nda buli dibeli sekelip mata bah... ini perubahan jarang berlaku overnight.

Kalaulah dorang... BN lah bah maksud sia nie, betul-betul mau buat reformasi... kalau betul-betul mau berubah.... buatlah... tapi jangan kamurang anggap rakyat yang sudah muak.... buli buat U-turn dalam sekelip mata. You have to earn our trust.... orang putih bilang lah. Satu sia mau kasi tau kamurang... rakyat sekarang ini... bukan lagi orang-orang buduh yang macam kamu fikir... tapi kami pun bukan ada hati macam batu.... pandai berubah juga bah.... tapi....

BUAT SAJA DAN JANGAN HARAP JIWA RAKYAT YANG SUDAH DISAKITI SUDAH BERKURUN INI BOLEH DIUBAT SEKELIP MATA. TAPI SATU PERKARA... RAKYAT BUKAN BODOH.... KALAU KAMU (BN lah bah atau siapa-siapa lah) BUAT BAIK.... RAKYAT ADA MATA.... TINGU... ADA TELINGA... DINGAR..... KAMI BULI NAMPAK BAH....

Suhakam's plea on Sabah land issues

Source: Malaysiakini.com

"Legalism must be tempered with understanding, compassion and consideration when dealing with the common folk who, after having tilled the good earth and toiled for generations on the land, find themselves out in the cold overnight through a stroke of the administrative pen."

MCPX

This is Suhakam’ message to the Sabah government, the Forest Department in particular, which stated recently that “mob rule must not be allowed to dictate public policy” and “the tyranny of the minority should not be allowed to lead to the breakdown of the Forest Reserve system which has prevailed for nearly 100 years”.

The human rights commission also stressed that “legalism renders them to the possibility of facing possible forcible eviction from the very land they had worked as their own and being reduced in the process to the dubious status of landless peasants, much as in the poverty-striken regions of rural Bangladesh, Africa and elsewhere.

“It is fine for the government to gazette land as forest reserve. But why can’t they be a bit more caring and ‘exclude’ from the gazette those areas already occupied and developed by village settlers,” is the puzzled query from Suhakam vice-president Simon Sipaun, a former Sabah state secretary.

“Many simple villagers are getting a raw deal at the end of the day because they are left with virtually nothing after having settled new land and toiled there for generations.”

“To add insult to injury, the same land is more often than not, later alienated to a company or individuals who have influence in society. The latter apparently take advantage of the fact that many villagers are too ignorant of the law and don’t know how to go about establishing native customary rights over their land.”

We listen to all sides

Suhakam, according to Sipaun, recently invited the Land and Survey director as well as the Forestry director to have a dialogue on various issues on which they were advised in advance but there was no response. Instead, the Forestry Department sent a public statement and the Land and Survey Department kept quiet.

“It’s no use issuing public statements,” pointed out Sipaun. “It’s important to meet and thrash out the various issues. We are here to listen to all sides.”

“Forest Department Director Sam Mannen should be willing to give a face-to-face hearing to those who have so many complaints, not just look at maps in his office or fly over affected areas and then make decisions. There’s nothing wrong in at least giving people a hearing. This is what we at Suhakam do all the time. Hearing does not mean agreeing.”

Declaring settled land as part of a forest reserve or alienating such land allegedly to the mighty and powerful, Sipaun has discovered, is the tip of the iceberg in Sabah on land issues.

Suhakam, according to Sipaun, has since uncovered discrepancies in the settlement of land issues in several areas in the state.

He cites Kampung Tomis in Ranau, Kampung Bonor in Keningau, and Kampung Mount Pock and Tanjung Nagos in Sempoerna along the east coast as some recent examples which depict the many facets of the land problem in Sabah.

Kampung Tomis, a human settlement complete with a balairaya (community hall) and a graveyard dating back several generations was recently declared a forest reserve by the Forest Department. This has exposed the people to the possibility of eviction at the pleasure of the authorities concerned.

The risk of eviction is real, said Sipaun, adding that recently in Kampung Koiboton in Paitan, “people in Forest Department vehicles and enforcement uniforms got the people to vacate the place ‘temporarily’ under the pretext of a census survey and after they left, torched their houses.”

“We wanted to hold an Open Hearing but the people affected unfortunately jumped the gun and took the matter to court. An Open Hearing would have bolstered their case in court.”

“The Tomis people claim that their village was gazetted as a forest reserve without any ground survey,” gathered Sipaun during a visit to the kampung by a Suhakam team. The team suspects the gazetting may have been done based on old aerial surveys.

Forest Department maps show the village is actually outside the Tenompok Forest Reserve (class 1), gazetted in 1984 after preliminary notification in 1962. The Forest Reserve land at 4000 to 5000 feet is vulnerable to erosion and landslides.

A first class forest reserve, by definition as understood by Suhakam, is one which has not been altered by human hands for any purpose whatsoever except perhaps for natives within the vicinity collecting jungle produce solely for their own use but sometimes allowed to sell these as well in the nearest jungle produce market in town.

There is some dispute as to whether Tomis has encroached into Tenompok but the Forest Department’s suspicion has fallen on the villagers since periodic landslides have blocked the Ranau-Kota Kinabalu highway several times in recent past.

Forbidden to harvest crop

The Forest Department’s public statement doesn’t mention four other villages within the vicinity of Tomis, points out Sipaun. These are Tomis Lama and Terolobau which have encroached into Tenompok; and Tinatasan and Ratau where the houses are outside Tenompok but the lands worked are within the Forest Reserve. The question is why haven’t these four other kampungs come to the attention of the Forest Department and instead Tomis has been singled out although the Department’s maps show it as outside the Forest Reserve?

Similarly, Kampung Bonor has now been declared a Forest Reserve within the Mount Mandalom Forest Reserve although the nearest “jungle” is some distance away. Again, this means the residents risk “eviction” at any time.

Suhakam, according to Sipaun, has since established that the Kampung Bonor area was gazetted on March 15, 1984.

Meanwhile, residents of Kampung Mount Pock and Tanjung Nagos have now been reminded by the erection of signboards by the Forest Department that they are also in fact occupying a first class Forest Reserve.

“The villagers tell us that they have been there for nearly a quarter century, opening up the land for agriculture and when they planted oil palm, they were forbidden to harvest their crops,” said Sipaun. “What is even more mysterious, a company has been given the right to harvest the oil palm fruits. The company concerned has also been allowed to plant even more oil palm on the village land.”

The Forest Department’s stand is that the company concerned is a state-owned subsidiary of Saham Amanah Sabah and will benefit all the unit trust holders who are now only looking at debts incurred to buy their stake which at one time plunged from RM 1 per unit to O.10 sen and has only marginally improved since then. “The oil palm trees will eventually be destroyed by the company and replaced with jungle trees,” said the Forest Department in its public statement. “We cannot afford to spend RM 6,000 per hectare to do this work.”

Suhakam has concluded, according to Sipaun, that there are many people affected by the various land issues who cannot be faulted for “not applying to register their native customary rights to land”.

“In fact, all the people that we have interviewed so far did establish their claims but the government either did not respond or rejected them very much later if there was a request from certain companies for the same land. These companies then end up with the land,” discovered Sipaun.
