Selamat Menyambut Bulan Kemerdekaan

Selamat menyambut hari Kemerdekaan yang ke 53 bagi Malaya dan hari Kemerdekaan yang ke 47 bagi Negeri Sabah. Ke arah MALAYSIA menuju umur 47 tahun sebagai sebuah NEGARA.... (pssst... Malaysia berumur 47 tahun.... bukan 53 tahun... ini jangan kita sama-sekali lupa) bolehkah kita renungkan kembali sejauh manakah kita ini "SATU". Si Najib balik-balik teriak... "One Malaysia... Satu Malaysia"..... tapi sia rasa macam nda da erti semua teriakan si Najib kalau orang-orang dia menunjukkan tabiat yang bertentangan. Tingu saja cakap si Ahmad Ismail... itu 2 Guru Besar dari Johor sama Kedah..... dan sia rasa dorang mewakili majoriti rakyat negara ini yang masih menganggap orang lain sebagai PENDATANG dan dorang lah TUAN. Orang Putih bilang "TIP OF THE ICEBERG". Selaga ramai yang menganggap doranglah yang PAAAAAAAAAAAAAALING BERHAK sekali di negara ini, maka laungan SATU MALAYSIA hanyalah satu RETORIK yang sedih bin lucu. Bikin sedih ada.... bikin nangis ada.... mau ketawa.... tapi sedih. Abis nda da kejujuran sia rasa sama slogan SATU MALAYSIA si Najib. Apa inda.... satu ketika dia cakap kita SATU... tiba-tiba teriak: KAMU PENDATANG!

47 tahun sudah Sabah membentuk Malaysia bersama Malaya dan Sarawak (inda lupa juga Singapura... yang kana tandang keluar kunun...), kenapa jauh betul perbezaan terutama dari segi pembangunan infrastruktur.... kadar kemiskinan, harga barang, pembahagian kekayaan negara, pembahagian peruntukan dan macam-macam lagi. Apa macam kita mau rasa SATU kalau kita AMAT BERBEZA? Satu contoh, polisi kabotaj yang suuuuuuuungguh nda adil untuk Sabah. Pasal itulah semua harga barang pun mahal-mahal disini. Harga Semenanjung murah.... harga Sabah... mahal. Pasal kos pengangkutan mahal yang antara lain disebabkan oleh polisi kabotaj telah menyebabkan harga barang di Sabah macam harga amas. Apa macam mau tarik pelabur asing kalau gini? Kasi buang itu polisi kabotaj.... dan daripada kasi tambang satu penumpang pi SPACE belanja bejuta-juta.... berbilion-bilion.... kanapa nda buli kasi subsidi kos pengangkutan barangan supaya harga Semenajung dan Sabah sama-rata.... Apa macam mau rasa SATU sama dorang.

Itu PTI lagi.... nda pandai-pandai salasai. Kalau betul-betul SATU.... kita tanggung sama-sama lah itu PTI.... kasi bagi-bagi sama negeri lain juga. Hantar pi Semenanjung.... antar pi Sarawak. Tak kan hasil kita saja yang kana bagi-bagi sama negeri lain.... tak kan minyak dan gas saja kana antar pi Bintulu....kasi bagi-bagi juga itu PTI bah. Barulah kita rasa SATU. Tapi susah bah kan.... kalau itu PTI juga yang kasi kuasa sama... ehem...ehem.... tau sama tau saja lah.

Kalau gini... sia rasa UNTUK JADI SATU....KITA PERLU TUKAR!

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.

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."

NDA BULI KANA BUAT TU..... PAS NDA BULI MEMERINTAH NEGERI SABAH.... PAKATAN .... maybe... PAS.... never. Maybe you will win one or two seats (itupun sia rasa susah...) but NEVER the State Government. WE ARE NOT READY TO ACCEPT YOU AND YOUR IDEOLOGIES.... paaaaalis-palis jauh-jauh....

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?

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"!

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!

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.
