The current turmoils faced by the government only touch the
tip of the ice burg.The original heat that is hidden under the "RING
OF FIRE" encircling the shores of Semananjong,Sarawak and Sarawak must
not be overlooked no under estimated in our haste to institute
immediate political reforms.While political reforms initially
concentrate on the structural flawed of the legal appliances in
respect of electoral system, the other major and important changes
which we equally need to address are the "regional administrative and
economic benefits" which should be rightly accrued to the people of
Sarawak and Sabah.These privileges which were incorporated under the
IGC terms, must not be placed at the back seats of our current fights
for fairness, justice and equality.The reformations should be
structured to cover both the spirit and forms of changes envisage.Only
then our struggle would be meaningfully inclusive and perhaps may
attract wider scale of support.
It entails benefit for the politicians, civil servants and the people
of the eastern states which have been marginalized since the formation
of Malaysia.The terms agreed in the IGC report which tacitly
stipulated regional benefits of ownership within Malaysian Entity has
not been revised in spite of the provisions provided otherwise.
An extended "reserved of good will which is highly
symbolic" merely shows a grudging respect for the federal leadership
to essentially avoid inherent political rapture from growing into
uncontrollable scale of internal crisis.This is the most opportune
occasion for Sarawakians and Sabahans to jointly forward joint
professional demands to proportionately restructure the set up of our
Malaysian Administrative bureaucracy,Judiciary and parliamentary
privileges in accordance with original marriage agreements signed in
1963.To achieve what we were fighting for, Sarawakian and Sabahan must
be focused and determined to jointly shoulders to carry this important
task to get our east Malayalam rights reinstated on equitable footing
consummate with our equal legal status in Malaysian federation.Without
Sarawak and Sabah there will be no Malaysia.Hence you see the
importance of these two States.
It should be born in mind that ministerial appointment is
"the prerogative of the Prime Minster".Sabah and Sarawak contributed
57 parliamentary seats which is slightly more than one third of the
total members of Malaysian Parliament.Logically and legitimately "one
deputy prime minister" should be reserved on rotation basis for
members of parliament from these two states to ensure that a coherent
political future will be kept intact.The current arrangement is
unsatisfactorily arranged. Treating the two State as fixed deposits is
ridiculing the intelligent of the East Malaysian voters.Appointing
losers or non elected members to hold ministerial appointments is a
mockery. It naturally caused distensions from senior elected members
who have been by pass so many times.Such move undermines the strength
of the government in power.Sign of disloyalty is highly probable in
the event of political crisis.
Secondly over the years, civil servants from Sabah and
Sarawak hardly enjoyed the opportunity to head important government
department such as the ketua Setia Negara,or deputy, or head of
Treasury,JKR, Epu,Police,KSUs of ministries or director general of
professional government departments or vice chancellors of
universities, head of judiciary; Generals of military except the
current Attorney general who is from Sabah.In many other important
GLCs Sabahan and Sarawakian were also left out and even chairman of
Federal services commission or Election commission, port commissions
and ambassadors Sarawakian were always left out.Most of the GLCs such
as Security commission,EPF; Hazanah or dana
harta;Petronas,FELDA,FELCRA,
many other semi governmental agencies where sarawakian and sabahan
were deliberatedly left out.Most of them are only political appointees
as ordinary members of such board where on the level of decision
makings none are accorded.This is a sad reality which have been
inadvertently over looked for ages due to administrative
discriminatory civil service recruitment from these two states.A
completely new policy should be introduced soon to rectify these
discrimination before 2020 in order to give meaning to the concept of
one Malaysia.
We all known that many Sarawakian are not UMNO members
but still PBB and other political parties are members of Barisan
National.Is this not marginalization? This should be the mains social
issues to be brought up by the elected members of both BN and
opposition besides the current problems of organizing public rally to
benefit certain section of the rakyaat or voters.Spending useless
political rhetoric in attacking opposition or members of NGOS does not
benefit the voters or rakyaat in general.The most fundamental issues
which are listed above should be openly voiced by those elected
representatives of Sabah and Sarawak.The future of new generation of
these two State in Malaysia will for ever be unattended should the
current leaders ignored their flights. Unless and until these obvious
problems caused by deliberate political marginalization is rationally
rectified in good time, Malaysian survival as an independent nation
may be facing bleak future as long as "this highly symbolic reserved
of mutual political goodwill" remains a grudging respect for the
leaders of the country.The current political power should not be
monopolistic-ally centralized but must be equitably distributed based
on legitimate needs of times and the original provisions of the treaty
signed by the two states before joining the federation.
