Sabah’s 20-Point Agreement (20 Perkara)

April 27, 2007 Filed under Sabah 

Ok posted below are the 20-point agreement that was agreed by leaders from Tanah Melayu and Sabah as part of the conditions for the formation of Malaysia.

Hrrmmm if you read carefully from point 1 to point 20, mana yang still kena ‘pegang’ ?

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 to North Borneo

2.Language
a. Malay language should be the national language of the Federation
b. English should continue to be used for a period of 10 years after Malaysia Day
c. English should be an official language of North Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal, without limitation of time.

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 a 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 (Sabah) was of course essential.

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

5. Name of Federation
“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”

6. Immigration
Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Central Government but entry into North Borneo should also require the 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 movements of persons other than those in Federal Government employ from other parts of Malaysia into North Borneo.

7. Right of Secession
There should be no right to secede from the Federation

8. Borneanisation
Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.

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

10. Citizenship
The recommendation in paragraph 148(k) of the Report of the Cobbold Commission should govern the citizenship rights in the Federation of North Borneo subject to the following amendments:
a) sub-paragraph (i) should not contain the proviso as to five years residence
b) in order to tie up with our law, sub-paragraph (ii)(a) should read “7 out of 10 years” instead of “8 out of 10 years”
c) sub-paragraph (iii) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in North Borneo after Malaysia must be federal citizen.

11. Tariffs and Finance
North Borneo should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff, and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit.

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 Malays’ formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo

13. State Government
a) the Prime Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council
b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo

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

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

16. Constitutional Safeguards
No amendment modification or withdrawal of any special safeguard 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 in the state. (Note: The United Party, The Democratic Party and the Pasok Momogun Party considered that a three-fourth majority would be required in order to effect any amendment to the Federal and State Constitutions whereas the UNKO and USNO considered a two-thirds majority would be sufficient)

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

18. Name of Head of State
Yang di-Pertua Negara

19. Name of State
Sabah

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

Hello Revolusioner,

bodoh kau… cakap kau memang besar, tapi apabila kau keluar saja drp Malaysia, kau kena tawan dgn Indon atau Filipin atau Sulu. Tak tak fikr tentang keselamatan bangsa kau sendiri ker, tak tak fikir tentang keselamatan rakyat sabah ker, bodoh bahalol kau. Fikirlah jika ‘negara baru’ engkau di tawan…jangan pulak kau panggil Malaya atau Inggeris untuk tolong kau ok? Stupid fool.

Rakyat Sabah Asli

Kepada Paco dan “Rakyat Sabah Asli”

Ayat-ayat anda itu berbau kejahilan dan kebodohan. Kalau bangsa korang hebat sangat, sila keluar dari Sabah. Your existence and your ilks have been the bane to the progress of the Sabahans.

Rakyat Sabah yang ASLI tidak takut dengan ugutan kosong anda kerana ternyata ayat-ayat yang diturunkan oleh kamu hanya boleh datang dari mulut pendatang-pendatang asing yang tidak tahu sejarah pahlawan-pahlawan unggul Sabah yang menentang pendatang-pendatang dari kerajaan asing. Hari ini kita nampak dari ayat-ayat mereka, kemegahan yanh jahil yang sama dipraktikan oleh bangsa Orang Putih British diguna pakai oleh bangsa Orang Sawo Matang yang berlagak seolah-olah merekalah rakyat Sabah “asli”!

Paco pula tidak tahu bangsa dia di seberang Laut Cina Selatan dah kehabisan pokok, yang tinggal “pokok” konkrit berupa kondominum, perumahan mewah dan flet “rakyat”! kami orang Sabah gembira kalau kamu tinggalkan Sabah sebab bangsa kamu dah lah ambil tanah kami, pokok kami pun mo ditabang sekali bikin perabot mahal supaya dapat berlagak macam Datuk dan YB yang rakus harta dan gila pangkat, satu lagi kelebihan bangsa anda.

Apa mahu takut dengan bangsa Indo, Suluk dan Filipin? Bangsa merekalah yang datang bersama-sama saudara-mara mereka ke negara kita yang kini sudah memegang kad pengenalan negara kita dan berlagak seperti warganegara kita! Lebih teruk lagi, mereka juga yang berlagak didepan semua orang(termasuk depan Jabatan Imigresan) yang mereka JUGA RAKYAT SABAH!

PILAK TATAP PILAK! Pungut sampah dan sekarang ada hati merampas tanah dan hak kita!

Wahai Rakyat Sabah yang ASLI, mereka yang berbangsa Suluk, Filipin(Tagalog) dan Indon yang memegang kad pengenalan, BUKAN bumiputra tetapi pendatang. Macam saudara jauh mereka yang saling membiak dan mengawan antara satu sama lain di Tanah Melayu sana!
