Brunei,Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah were originally enticed and lured
by Malaya then to "jointly form" Malaysia.Brunei refused while
Singapore opted out or being kicked out of Malaysia immediately after
its formation while Sabah and Sarawak remained. They did not JOIN
Malaysia because it was not born then.They FORMED Malaysia.
Before forming Malaysia the two states were granted independence by
the British Government on 31st August,1963 while Malaysia was
thereafter formed on 16th September,1963.These two dates formed part
of a very significance political historical evidence on the birth of
our Malaysian nation.This fact must not be confused and should be made
known by "leaders" to all Malaysians born and brought up after these
important dates least they forget their rights and
contributions.Historical truth must be acknowledged and accepted with
honor,dignity,fairness and justice if respect is expected to be
accorded with fully committed sense of nationalism.
Through out the 48 years of Malaysian Nation the Status of Sabah and
Sarawak equal partners have not been legally and official altered.But
the administrative mechanism operating within the national policy
inadvertently undermined the status equalization so much so that the
two states have one of the new states within THE 13 STATES of the
new setup of Malaysian identity.This treatment has very much departed
from the original intention, terms and conditions of the"Political
Trinity" of Malaysia as a nation.
This misconception must be realized and rectified now before it is too
late and forgotten for ever.Instead of the two States within three
Malaysia States, they are now relegated into two of the thirteen
states.Hence these two states are currently treated without any
difference in term of administrative arrangements.This deliberate
mistreatment amounted to complete marginalization of the political and
economic status of the two states and if the situation is allowed to
continue unaltered the future survival of Malaysia is at stake,
unsecured and uncertain.This is not conjecture but a reality which
time only can tell.
To rectify the present regional resentments against the
marginalization, current leaders should look seriously into reforming
the Malaysian civil service structural composition and the ministerial
appointments in the Federal cabinet besides economic restructuring to
mutually benefit the two states as partners in Malaysia not as
components of the 13th States in the Federation.
These three Administrative,political and economic restructures of the
National setup of our Malaysian Nation, based on equitable,fair and
effective contributions of the two east Malaysian states, must be
addressed urgently to give meaning to the continued existence as
partners in Malaysia.Unless this uneven treatment is solved, the
spirit and the flesh of Malaysia, will be internally weakened and
eventually undermined by the emergence of new educated and politically
conscious generations of the two East Malaysian partners.The cry for
reforms are heard loud and clear through inherent ethnic dissents from
these two states.
To satisfy their aspirations,the followings should be immediately put in placed.
First,Malaysia should have tree Deputy Prime Minsters, one should be
for Sabah and Sarawak one for Umno and one for the non Bumi.Two other
important portfolios such as finance,education or home affairs should
be allocated to Sabah and Sarawak.If you look at the current
appointments for instance Penang, Kelantan and Negeri Sembilan has
three full ministers while Sabah and Sarawak which contributed 66
seats have only six full ministers. Even then, the portfolios are of
not much political significance. Admittedly the appointment of the
ministers is the prerogative of the Prime minster, but that
prerogative must be exercised judicially based on fair political
representation .Without these two states MPs Bn Government would have
collapsed.Besides these too many loosing candidates were appointed as
full ministers without having to give due considerations to those
senior elected Members of Parliaments.Resentments against this obvious
treatment is very real and damaging.The public are now voicing their
disapproval openly which I believe our Prime Minister is well
aware.Even among the UMNO MPs are also grumbling. This is not a
healthy sign.
Secondly, the Ketua Setia Negara(KSN) should be rotated every three
years for Sabah,Sarawak and Federal officers and two deputies Setia
Usaaha Negara (KSN) should be created to give opportunities for
officers from these two states to serve in federal service. The
recruitment into the Federal services must be opened to all Malaysians
and certain quota be allocated for both States continuously.Heads of
various Government departments must reflect a truly nationalistic
representative service where officers from Sabah and Sarawak are no
being left out or marginalized.To achieve this aim the current leaders
must see to it that this proposal should be implemented with sincerity
and fairness especially in the security such as in the army and the
police.
Thirdly, the economic sector must also represent regional interests of
the two states especially on the redistribution of petroleum
incomes.The management of Petronas should be jointly done by officers
from Sabah and Sarawak especially on higher management levels and the
the chairman must also be rotated on three yearly basis to give
opportunity for Sabahan and Sarawkian to head the organisation. After
all most of the Petronas income is derived from Sarawak and Sabah
shores.
Many other federal Government Linked Corporations must also give
opportunities for officers from Sabah and Sarawak to lead some of the
corporations.For instance Sarwak must thank the Prime minister for
appointing YB Dato Idris jala to head the National Economic
Transformation programs.If this example is strictly followed there is
no reason why it cannot be applied in other sectors of the systems as
mentioned above.Once the above proposals are fully implemented the
immigration restrictions accorded to Sabah and Sarawak should be
abolished for good to indicate a true spirit of one Malaysia.
We hope that the the present leaders are sensitive enough to the
expressed wishes of the rakyaat from the two states while at the same
time the country are facing problems of massive corruptions in the
system.With the proposed Reconstruction of the Systems perhaps the
problem of corruption could be reduced or solved through internal
check and balance by way of injecting regional political,social and
economic interests into the new system through employing officers from
the two states which will be truly representative in spirit and form.
