Read facts about "secession"

Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU : What is "secession"? The current trending word "secession" or "seceding" is derived from the Latin term secessio, which describes the act of withdrawing from an organisation, union, or a political entity.
World's history, both in olden days and recent, is astoundingly littered with the act of "seceding". In Americas, Europe, Africa, Indias and even nearby Indonesia the act of seceding has been just too common. Many seceding territories or states did succeed but others were crushed, violently.

Datuk Salleh Harus Menyokong Perjuangan Sambil Bertindak Menuntut Hak Sabah - Pemuda STAR

Kota Kinabalu: “Sepatutnya sebagai Tuan Speaker dan pemimpin Umno Sabah kanan dan berada dalam posisi berkuasa, Datuk Dr. Salleh harus menyokong kumpulan-kumpulan yang cuba memberi kesedaran tentang sejarah sebenar Sabah terutama mengingatkan rakyat Malaysia bahawa Sabah adalah salah satu Negara yang menandatangani Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 sambil menuntut sehingga merealisasikan hak-hak Sabah yang terhakis sehingga hari ini” ujar Hasmin Azroy Abdullah, Ketua Wiramuda STAR Sabah, sebagai respon mengenai seruan Datuk Dr. Salleh Tun Said Keruak kepada Pemuda Umno Sabah untuk memberi penjelasan kepada rakyat Sabah mengenai Hak Sabah agar tidak digunakan oleh pihak tertentu dan pembangkang di Sabah secara salah demi mendapatkan keuntungan politik.

It's Not A Question of Secession But Solution - Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:     “When people talk about separation or secession it means that they are fed-up with the situation and see no hope to their future except opting out” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, responding to reports that talk of secession is treasonous and threats of being cited for sedition.

It is wrong for any leader or even the government and Ministers to keep on threatening the people and warning them every time there is a mention of wanting to get out of Malaysia.   Instead, they leaders should take the opportunity to listen to the grouses of the people. They cannot seem to understand or refuse to understand the truth behind the discussions and calls for getting out.

Separation as Last Resort Cannot be Ruled Out –Dr.Jeffrey




Kota Kinabalu:“While separation from Malaysia may not be an immediate option, it (separation) should not be ruled out as a last resort option or forced option” said Datuk Dr.Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR SABAH responding to views that separation of Sabah and Sarawak was not an option and treasonous to even discuss it.

We need to differentiate the differences in instances of separation and contentions of some instances being treasonous. For the Islamist and Malay extremists, calls for the chasing out of people from the federation is separatist and seditious as well as treasonous.


Implement Malaysia Agreement Not Just Review - Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:    “The call for a review of the safeguards for Sabah and Sarawak and their status as equal partners to Malaya by Tengku Razaleigh or more affectionally known as Ku Li needs to be brought up in Parliament and must be fully supported by all the MPs from Sabah and Sarawak, if it is to succeed ” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief in commenting on Ku Li’s call to review the status of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia.


Recognise Sabah, Sarawak as equals

A potential political war may come to boil if federal
government keeps ignoring calls to recognise the
Borneo states as equal on all platforms
PETALING JAYA: Tension in Sabah and Sarawak will come to a head as long as Malaysians continue to equate the two as just another state of Malaysia, warned veteran Umno leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

Tengku Razaleigh, popularly known as Ku Li, said it was time Sabah and Sarawak recognized and treated as equal partners in Malaysia.

“There is resentment and dissatisfaction with Sabah and Sarawak being treated as and equated to just another state of Malaysia… It had been simmering since the 1980s but it never resurfaces, not as a formal articulation anyway.

Federal Play To“Steal”Sabah’s Oil- Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:    “The revelations by Tan Sri Majid Khan that the explanations of the federal leaders in the 1970s that only oil found on-shore belongs to Sabah and that found off-shore belonged to the federal government clearly proves that the federal leaders from Malaya were prepared to concoct lies and bent on taking over, “stealing”, Sabah’s oil and gas resources at all costs” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief when commenting on the untold story presented by Tan Sri Majid Khan at the recent forum “The Formation of Malaysia – The Untold Story” organized by The Sabah Society.

Jeffrey: Hari Malaysia adalah Hari Penjajahan

KOTA KINABALU: Kerajaan Persekutuan boleh muflis tanpa sumbangan kewangan dari Sabah dan Sarawak.

Menurut ADUN Bingkor, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Sabah dan Sarawak harus dilayan sebagai rakan kongsi yang sama di Malaysia dan bukan sebagai negeri ke-12 dan ke-13 dalam Malaysia.

“Kerajaan Persekutuan mengambil masa 50 tahun, bagi mengiktiraf sebagai “Hari Malaysia,” katanya.

Beliau mendakwa Malaya telah mengambil alih Sabah daripada British dan kini Malaya menjajah semula kami di bawah nama Kerajaan Persekutuan Malaysia.

Insecurity – Greatest Failure of Federation Of Malaysia – Dr Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:    “The insecurity felt by Malaysians in Sabah is the greatest failure of the Federation of Malaysia and the reality is now turning into a nightmare even for lawmakers from the Barisan Nasional”, said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in response to the statement by YB. Datuk Seri Bung Mokhtar that he fears for his life to the extent he fears that he will be shot dead the moment he step out of Parliament House.”

The recent daily killings and violent crimeswere not confined to the Peninsular but has also spread to Sabah and with the rising crime rate, Malaysians are now living in fear.

Malaysia not the original concept

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

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

Set Sabah Free From Malaya’s Control - STAR

KOTA KINABALU:   “Sabahans must take this election seriously by voting STAR in order to free Ssabah from Malaya’s control and subservience” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in a press statement released today.

Jeffrey said “this election is about choosing to regain Sabah’s rights and dignity as an independent sovereign nation within the Federation or continuing to allow Kuala Lumpur and Malaya to rule and exploit Sabah as a mere colony and as the 12th state of Malaya.”


STAR blasts PM on Malaysian history

KOTA KINABALU: State Reform Party (STAR) had blasted the caretaker prime minister for "his ignorance about Malaysian history."
 
Sabah STAR deputy chairman Daniel John Jambun said that he was utterly shocked by Najib's speech in Bongawan yesterday in which he said that, " Sabah made the right decision to join the Malaysian federation, which paved its path to independence on Sept 16, 1963 ."
 

Cobold Commission never established that majority Sabahans wanted Malaysia

OPINION: In 1963, Sabah was bundled with Sarawak into a strategic arrangement between Britain and Malaya to consolidate Britain's colonial territories and economic interests and replace British colonial rule in this region with Malayan rule in the newly created Malaysia.

When the Malaysia proposal was announced in 1961 by Tunku Abdul Rahman, this immediately touched off local and regional controversy and opposition to "Malaysia" as a neo-colonial scheme to prolong colonial rule- especially by Indonesia and the Philippines. This led to Indonesia's Konfrontasi against Malaysia and the Philippines claim on Sabah.

Legal Sophistry to Support Argument That Sabah is Part of Malaysia

UN Needed for Complete Solution to Sabah's Problems

KOTA KINABALU: Now that the situation in Sabah has attracted the attention of the United Nations (UN) whose Secretary-General has urged the Malaysian government to find an amicable solution, the Government should take the opportunity to invite the UN to facilitate a total and complete solution of the Sabah issue,” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

The STAR Sabah Chief said the internal security problems and international issues facing Sabah including the claim on Sabah by the Philippines or Sulu which had culminated into the Lahad Datu bloodbath require a long-term diplomatic and political solution, not a military one.
 

Malaysia a failure in Sabah, Sarawak

By Joe Fernandez
It’s patently pointless getting into rhetoric and polemics on Malaysia in Sabah and Sarawak, at this juncture, in the wake of the Lahad Datu Standoff. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has vowed that Sabah will remain forever within Malaysia. Apologists for his Administration swear that Malaysia was properly constituted in Sabah as well.

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat;

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) in The Ballad of East and West

Malaya on the one hand, and Sabah and Sarawak on the other hand, are poles apart.

Malaysia that was and is, by Joe Fernandez

By Joe Fernandez
KOTA KINABALU : Sabah and Sarawak did not become independent on 16 Sept, 1963 through Malaysia, as the history books keep telling our students.

Sabah obtained independence on 31 Aug, 1963 when it opted for self-determination.

Sarawak obtained independence on 22 July, 1963 when it opted for self-determination.

No referendum was held in Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya on independence.

The Malayan Government opted for independence. The individual states in Malaya did not join Malaysia. So, Sabah and Sarawak cannot be referred to as the 12th and 13th states.

Malaya Federation masquarading as Malaysia Federation ?

Malaysia has an unwritten Constitution based on the Batu Sumpah and other constitutional documents like the written Constitution of Malaya, Malaysia Agreement, the Malaysia Bill, the Inter Governmental Committee Report, the Cobbold Commission Report, the 20/18 Points, Adat, the UN's Informal Survey on Malaysia, the Sabah and Sarawak Constitutions, the Dent/Overbeck Agreements with the Sultans of Brunei and Sulu, the Madrid Protocol of 1885, the Singapore/Malaya Merger through Malaysia proposal, the various British Committees which studied the formation of Malaysia etc etc long before Tunku Abdul Rahman announced it in May 1961 at a meeting with the Foreign Correspondents Association in Singapore.

Dealing with the Borneo Agenda

Is it any wonder that poverty is still prevalent
in the resource rich states of Sabah and Sarawak
after 45 years in Malaysia?
History will tell us that alliances between states are entered into to serve strategic, economic and the national interest of their people.
More often than not these alliances are driven by political leaders who dream of greater glory and national advancement that the sum of such an alliance may bring.
History will also tell us that no nation can survive an alliance with another for too long when the interest of its people are exploited and taken advantage of by the another.
Such is the situation that the people of Sabah and Sarawak now feel they are in – the same Sabah and Sarawak that joined with Singapore and Malaya to form that new nation of Malaysia.
