ten reason not to join malaya based political party

1. power still lay on people that once thought we lives in a tree

2. smell like BN, taste like BN and feel like BN

3. sabah need a new fresh local political party

4. giving the wrong impression to youngster that we cannot take care our own state.

5. they only want the sabah resource no matter how many time they denied it

6. racial hatred conflict is still strong

7. sabah need a strong leader that can unite the sabah people

8. still in a bad position to get a better deal

9. resource money still flow out one way

10. hard for them to know what we really want.





ps - no pun intended to my malaya friend's who support PR. i am a firm believer that sabah should be represent by sabah based party in a grand coalition that give equal chances to personalities rather than racial demographic preference.


***

Jeffery G. Kitingan, you dissapointed us sabahan very much

because,

1. you settle for useless top post in PKR. by that meaning

2. you fight for self need first before the people rights

3. anwar sees your weakness open wide, knowing what you (personally) want

4. you praise the man who brought you down and look down on sabah people.

5. you're not sarawakian and not eligible to represent them.

6. you're same as the other ass politician in BN, "kow tow" to the UMNO ultralist.

in other related issue: Congrats to Anwar Ibrahim for resolving Sabah PKR Leadership Issue

1. nothing to be proud of when anwar gave the sort of bogus top post to jeffery kitingan

2. anwar legally has no rights to gave post to anyone as he holding no actual power and

3. anwar lead the PKR by his greatest puppet, his wife. (not a good example when sabahan hate puppet CM lead by UMNO

4. jeffery kitingan can't be the one as anwar can't never be the PM

5. PKR are more on like reality tv drama than true politics

6. anwar is still UMNO hardcore and i believe he will join back UMNO if he got a good bargain. (his excuse will be that he will fight for the people in a greater platform and we're sabahan turn out to be dumb ass again)

7. sabah and sarawak not 1 states and PKR should have one each vice president for each states.

8. jeffery kitingan know nothing about sarawak needs as anwar know nothing about sabah needs.

selamat hari SABAH MASUK MALAYSIA.. XD .. punya bidak..

why?

1. When we changed from one colonial master to another colonial master.

2. Unfair development in political, social and economic sector for many years.

3. Mass exploitation in the natural source such as oil and timber income.

4. Unhonored autonomy right by the country and states leadership.

5. Still look like idiot even after we save their asses from the opposition party.

Enough said.

Earth Hour: Domestic Perspective

Wikipedia define Earth Hour as;

Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008.

Earth Hour aim to earn around 1 billion people to participate in their program and switch off their lights as a support of the global warming issue to the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

Personally, i found it very interesting that Earth Hours got lots of attention all around the world and especially this small town Kota Kinabalu in Sabah too. It might be a good idea to switch off the lights for an hour to make a point to the world leader that our earth need their attention and solution for the global warming that we experience lately. I hope our vote count in when the world leader seen the effort that we especially in most of town in Malaysia especially Kota Kinabalu.

Power supply became a top issue in Sabah. Unlike in the peninsular, we experience black out at least 2 times a week for average 3-4 hours. In short, Earth Hour(s) every 2 or 3 times a week. Every time black out occurs, we curse the power supplier and the state government for its very bad services. Even when the power is on, i find it in a certain hour late night, the power supply become unstable and the UPS connected to the computer seems to giving out warning until the computer has to shut down automatically.

I read and see advertisement from the WWF and NatGeo and Discovery channel in Astro with the participation from the local artist the awareness to the global issues that take part globally. Malaysia has been flooded with lots of global nature issue from the global warming, carbon release, the rain forest destruction and the animal extinct but none was getting attention from our government. Sabah experiences the low power supply due to the growing demand to the electricity for development and new township.

Earth Hour came in a bit bizarre situation in Sabah. For many years, sabahan never stop complaining of the power blackout and the government always trying to avoid responsibilities by advocating a new power generator station. One suggestion is to use coal as the fuel to generate the electricity when ridiculously we're next to the biggest dam in the south East Asia. Bakun Dam is still in progress to finish but the governments decide not to supply the excessive energy to sabah and instead suggest building a new power generator station.

I wonder if Earth Hour can change our Malaysian politician mind no matter the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat. At the moment, i don't see any strong view from both leading party about the environmental issues that has been debated for many years. The deforestation of the Sabah natural forest by those greedy local politicians to the uncontrollable pollution by those greedy factory owners and the showing of the Malaysian state of mental and their ignorance of the global issue compare to the local reality issue.

I believe there are more issues that needed attention beside this international gimmick by the western country that only serve their own environmental propaganda. Malaysian should be more aware not just the international issue but the local issue no matter it is an environmental issue or social and political issues. All of them deserved an equal attention from the local non government organization rather than piggy back on the international awareness that doesn’t makes any changes to our domestic socio politic and environmental issues.

The state and federal government should take more active role to the environmental issue especially the global warming by enforce a tight regulation over the deforestation and pollution by big local and international corporate. Malaysian should take its own action and awareness to push the government and the opposition to make environmental issue as it main major propaganda to gain support from the people. Education about the environmental awareness should be advocated at early education if we want to make changes. This will create a new waves of society that aware of the environmental impact of their own lifestyle and living in a energy efficient life without giving out effect that will pollute the nature overall.

Democracy erected, vandalized and melted.

Perak is having a big political crisis. Now, it is not clear who going to run the state government. Constitution dictate that only one can run the country but at the same time a new MB and cabinet was elected and then being banned from representing the people in the state assembly.

It looks like no one will step aside in this power struggle process. Everyone was so busy to play political chess without thinking the people who elected them first. No matter it is from Pakatan or Barisan Nasional, their thoughts are not about the people. It was not the change that we seek.

I don't really know why the Pakatan want to erect a Tugu Democracy at the first place. Although this was an honor act but others might not feel comfortable at this. Few days after it was built, the Tugu Democracy was vandalized and was melted few days later.

Malaysia democracy is just like this Tugu Democracy. We can create a democracy environment if we really want it. The people has the power to change and save the country if we willing to stay together and demand the changes. The political process that available in our country gave us the chance to do change. In the latest elections that almost see the Pakatan Rakyat won the election if not of their own technical mistake in Sabah and Sarawak side.

Perak people choose to change. Thou, some state representative choose not to change and it all back to business as usual. Pakatan is not giving up on their quest to maintain power by banning those new government members. Then all hell breaks loose. At the moment, no legitimate parties that can government the land. It up to the court to decide due to the constitution technical problem that I believe started when the Sultan of Perak don't disband the state assembly.

The state of Perak fate looks like the Tugu Democracy that was erected in the nearby assembly hall. It was built to mark the first ever assembly that done outside the compound of the hall. I personally believe this is the most significant event in the political history of the Perak state and maybe Malaysia. The Tugu was not holding for a long time when some fascist groups vandalize it and then melted it to ground.

I feel sad when those people destroying some peace of important historical event to the democracy process in the state. It feels like some fascist group is mocking the democracy process in the Perak state. At least not as what democracy run in their mind. The democracy process in Perak are being vandalized and melted by those people that we choose to represent us in the democracy process.

From Chua Soi Lek to Elizabeth Wong

I still remembered a post i wrote similar to this event. It's involved a high ranking cabinet minister Chua Soi Lek scandal over his sex video that circulating in the public.

Now, new scandals over the same thing arise to the public. Elizabeth Wong, Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman decided to quit over her nude photo that circulating in the public. Personally, i think she should allow resigning. A person that works in such statue in public services should take responsibility over his or her action no matter in his previous or recent life.

It so wrong to let such tainted personality to be a leader and he or she should be barred from the public to avoid it to be a role model or example for our young kids. If not, they will think that it is okay to take nude photo of her today because the public acceptance over this action is good. The morality in the society will plumed to the level where it can slowly destroy a civilization and the existence of the human species.

Morality doesn't rule in one side. PR always condemns the morality of BN representative but of themselves too. We talk about corrupt, dishonest and greedy politician, but at the same time accept those nude photo, act and other incident by other politician as small and tolerable matters. We talk against the moral value of former health minister Chua Soi Lek of his secret affairs with another woman but justified Elizabeth nude photos.

As an assembly person that services him or her to public services it is fair that it will be judged by the public and a moral example and good ethic needed to make sure the people lead by the right person. A person was given power by the people because they think he or she is a good person and without any bad habits or other things. I don't think a person will public said that he or she did some weeds or take some nude photos or like to go to pub in his personal resume in campaigning during the election. If this happen, i believe this is the end of his or her political career.

I believe Elizabeth Wong did a right thing and resign as a assemblywoman. This is a good example for other representative no matter in the parliament or state assembly so that they will not do as they like when they working for the people. The people deserved the rights to have a good and clean leader to represent them in the nation or state assembly. To break the rules, means to accept those other immoral values such as corruption, greed and others values in a person who leading our country.

To all Malaysia MPs & ADUNs..

Please listen to this song before you do what you want to the this beautiful country.



How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Anwar reap what he sow

Thanks to Anwar, his plan to take over the country in hurry was defeated by BN in his own game and rules. I would like to see the country govern by other new regiment as long they're not BN and elected through a fair election. Pakatan Rakyat seems to be an ideal regiment but not the right party to be government due to its historical scar. Those historical scar and problem is Anwar Ibrahim himself.

His plan to take over the country and become the Prime Minister is the worst plan ever. First he tried to persuade the selfish and ignorance BN MPs by encourage them to switch side with some benefits on their hands even most PR supporters against the plan. The plan was indeed failed and easily broken by the super money BN.

Second, he tried to get the support from the King and Sultans by lure them with restoration of their immunity. I am strongly against this action because it is a backward step to the modern civilization and political dimension. I don't want to go back to the old time when power of governing was given to one person and immune to the rules of the land and people.

History tells us that many sacrificed their life for us now in which we live in a world that free and liberal. War upon war to fight those anarchist and selfish royalties and our past generation paid with blood and life for what we experience now, a free and liberal society with justice in the people hand.

Now, the PR is in a crisis again when Karpal want Anwar to quit as PR chief due to the down fall of the PR led government in Perak. It is true that Anwar is the main mascot in PR and factors of the huge support to Pakatan Rakyat but he is not the perfect person to lead the country or even a state. PR and BN somehow is the same in the power structure. It is impossible for the Keadilan to accept non-malay to lead the country because they're as the UMNO too ignorance and selfish to let go the power hold special rights that MCA and MIC previously arranged.

Perak’s political crisis shows us that the Sultan can act out from the law and constitution without the consent of the people. I wonder if the sultan acts according within the constituency of the state or just merely exercising the law at his own will. I realize that there are many flaws in the current constitution where the sultan or king was honored at high respect without some guarantee that the King will respect the constituency. The constituencies dictate that the King or Sultans should act accordingly to the law and regulations and it is against the will of the people if he overrule the constituency.

Anwar should realize this crisis and should admit defeat so that the people will not drag into a deeper problem and breakup. DAP is wise to denounce Anwar because he is also the one of the many factors to the crisis that happened or will happen. If Anwar choose to stand on his ground and maintain his post, i believe the PR will cease to exist before the end of the next general election.

ps - Truthfully, Nizar is no longer the menteri besar of Perak because he was sided out due to the informal vote of no confidence. The sides switch by the 4 Aduns shown the people that even with the assembly meet, he will sooner or later voted out due to the majority obtained by the BN and Independent in the Perak State Assembly.

Better resign than hop to other party

Missing Pakatan lawmaker denies resigning, Perak in chaos

At least, two PKR Aduns have more honors compare to ex-PBS DUNs and MPs whom hopped to BN during previous election that resulted an unfair election to the people. I believe those man of honor knew they being black mailed by BN about their previous wrong doing and choose not to be BN's puppets by resigning their respective seats.

I hope PR representative think about the people welfare first rather than its own pocket money. BN failed the people many times by their empty promises that resulted suffering to the people they sworn to protect. The people have spoken and change will come true if the PR withhold their oath, honor and promises they made to the people. I hope it can be true.

Anyone can be Malaysia PM?

Non-Malay PM is possible but not multiracial party, says Dr M: Malaysian Insider

I read lots of strange headline and quote in online media and newspaper. Thou, I find this headline is the strangest of all. I don't really understand what our dear father meaning by just simply spitting out a redundant and meaningless word of wisdom for Malaysian to ponder. What does our dear father mean when a non Malay pm is possible but not multiracial party? I believe the thing that holding non Malay to take the top post in Malaysia government power post is the racial party and we need to get it over the racial line to be able to revolve to a new liberal rather than the conservative thinking that colonized our mind for more than 50 years.

"When you talk about a non-Malay PM, you are being racist, because you shouldn't ask the question whether a Malay or non-Malay can be PM. Here everyone can become Prime Minister, but he must be a leader of the majority party,"

When the black American talking about a black president, does this mean they are racist. Why we Malaysian cannot question the government whether a Malay or non Malay can be a PM or not when the chances of being a PM in Malaysia are based on the three racial parties that compromised on a unfair quota system and top post positioning. Who is to decide what is racist or not and what is the clear definition of a racist person? What are we talking about here?

"It doesn't work, every multiracial party is dominated by one race, like Gerakan and DAP. Even PAP in Singapore is not multiracial,"

I am so surprised with the fact twisting from our dear old father quote. It is true that the PAP of Singapore dominated by Chinese but it still respect some other minority race in their head of committee to make sure all people are represented and able to view their own different voices. I don't see any "mata sepet" and "kulit hitam" with a white dot in his or her head in the UMNO website committee page. At least the PAP got some other races as members and in top post even if they not the majority in their party. BN is a classical and ideal example of rule and divide concept to guarantee the power stay only to UMNO top high mile private club membership only. UMNO has evolve and become a cronyism party that hide behind the racial mask that only benefits certain circle of people and become so hard to access even for the Malay themselves.

"I can assure this is very difficult to handle. I have no confidence in Obama, what about Najib. This is too big for Obama and Najib. We need to change the system, to change the system, we need international cooperation,"

Changes is not easy, and nothing with good intention is easy because all the bad stuff glued so tight at something that pretty and beautiful last time. Thanks to our old dear father ignorance and failure to oversee the mess before it permanently become the life and living that eating inside out and slowly killing the nation and people. President-elect Obama not just gave hope to the American, but all the people around the world. He gave us Malaysian the inspiration that nothing is impossible. With a good plan and effort, all hurdle and barrier can be overcome and I hope that he will succeed in his plan not just to change America but the whole world. It might be a too high expectation from a person who just like you and me, but at least he proven to us that change is on progress. Malaysian can change too if we proven ourselves to be worthy as a leader and not just by compromised, quota and race. When everyone outside the nation move one step towards new idealism of change, we Malaysian still struggling to hold to the old ideology that withhold the nation to move along side with other nation.

I scratch your back, you scratch my back

UMNO Party General Election saw lots of new and old faces move in to contest the top post in the party. Nonetheless, i don't think there will be any changes happen when the new top committee taking over the job. There are still strong influences from the old regimen especially from Tun Dr Mahathir who sling shot his son Mukhriz to the top of the Pemuda UMNO wing. It then was strengthen by the ad hoc support by the Pekan UMNO youth division that suggest to be indirect endorsement by Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Pekan nod for Mukhriz suggests Najib backing

Tun Mahathir who is the top critic of Abdullah Badawi's premiership gave his endorsement to Najib Razak to be the next President of UMNO and officially gave the Prime Minister seat to him. Even if this is not the personal endorsement from Najib to Mukhriz, some unknown systematic plan is running during this candidacy of the UMNO top post. I cannot help to think that the process of fair election and democracy is alive or dead in this time.

Khairy, who was seen as the favorite to take over the movement’s leadership until the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi, his father-in-law, announced that he was not defending the presidency, received his 39th nomination yesterday from the Tangga Batu division, in Malacca.

I see the malays look their leader as a noble man and not a qualify leader. History dictate that only certain clan and connection qualify and able to lead the country. The leader was chosen by some top influences political person or with a good and well network and connection by birth and rights. Mahathir has created himself a new noble clan family that far influences than the states royalty. Prime Minster endorsement was look more like a royalty order rather than a support of certain candidacy. To critic the Prime Minster is an action that can be punish same as disloyal act to the king or sultan.

Democracy and justice was spoken many times by the political leader in the mass media but spoken like a breath of air. Malaysia leader preach and telling the world that they honor democracy and justice but not walk the talk by doing other else thing. Corruption and favoritism became the mistress of our trusted leader and only few groups of people benefited the growing wealth of the nation. The rest has to depend to the mercy from them only if their goodness can be return with a full loyal to them.

Malaysia datukship are getting ridiculous.

I read it in disbelieve when news about Shah Rukh Khan was given a "Datuk" title few days ago. Nothing strange about it, because the last previous "Datuk" also given to someone who just sat in a space rocket courtesy of the Malaysian tax payer money.

The reason Shah Rukh Khan was awarded to this title according to the Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam as i quote;

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the decision to confer the title on the actor was suggested to Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob by former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin recently.

Daim said it was a means to promote Malacca and the actor had shot a movie scene here several years ago.

TheStar: People just Khan believe it!

It look like our dear leaders are getting the kick out listing some people that he or she like to our tax payer money title without considering their achievement to the nation or the state. This raised a great concern on their mental state and ability to make a good judgment when big crisis happening to the nation such as today, the downfall of the nation economy.

Nevertheless, we can see some well deserved Nicol David and Lee Chong Wei awarded this title because of their contribution and hard work in achieving great success in international sports.

Only few well deserved people were awarded a high rank title from the government compare to lots that were questionable. We will see many more of ridiculous people given an honorary title that sooner or later will downgraded the prestige and the respect of it. I bet people from other country laughing at us and felt sad over our leaders’ mental state of mind.

Do we need MCA in Sabah?

Today on theStar:

Sabah needs more MCA reps, says Lim

Sabah do really need more chinese representative in the state government but not from MCA. MCA become weak all these years because they bow down to the UMNO policy and slowly neglected to fight for the chinese benefits. How does it make sense to put more lame duck and chicken MCA representative when in Malaya, MCA not function as it should be?

Malaysian Chinese Association is a racial based party that started in 1949 by the Kuomintang (KMT) party as an alternative party to Malaya Communist Party. Since the pakatan UMNO, MCA and MIC was established, the chinese community benefits slowly being taken away until most of them have to move to overseas to find social economic opportunity.

MCA believe that compromise is the way to ensure the peace in this multiracial community. There are no doubt in this intellectual wisdom but this also a cause to the slowly dwindling, less opportunity and benefits in many ways and the neglected by the leader who only interested to stay on power than to fight for the chinese community. With the compromise position taken by the MCA leader, UMNO become more daring into its policy to rule out chinese community in the government development policy. Chinese then has to find their own way to ensure economic opportunity in private sectors and overseas.

Sabah chinese community was not represent by a single race party, most of them represented in a multiracial chinese party such LDP and SAPP. DAP went in to sabah only recently and able to won one seats in Parliament. I don't agree a Malaya based party to represent the benefits of the chinese community in sabah but it should be represent by local party that power based in Sabah. Sabah all these years was governed by the Malaya people by proxy in the BN. This proxy government has no say in anything and most of time taking order and policy from the Malaya based party. This is the reason why it is so hard to solve some great issues such as the illegal immigrant, oil royalty, and economic development that supposed to bring benefits to the state.

Joe Biden and Sarah Palin VP Debate

Click here for the debate transcript.

I watched the America vice Presidential debate rerun and found it less suffering between Barack Obama and John McCain Presidential debate. There will be two more debate, one for the presidential and one for the vice presidential nominee. The different between Sarah Palin and John McCain was that she is energetic and enthusiastic on this debate. Sarah Palin has the opportunity to debate in some issue with full respect from Joe Biden compared to John McCain with Barack Obama.

John McCain in the latest presidential debate did not show any respect to his opponent Barack Obama when he repeatedly said he not ready nor could understand the intensity of the issue that raised while Barack Obama hold the disrespect with point or argument and discredited John McCain accusation. Joe Biden and Sarah Palin each other seem to having a great time debating with each other with respect to each other that i didn't saw it from John McCain.

The debate was widely pronounced that Joe Biden clearly won the debate. Sarah Palin did better but still not qualify to sit on the VP chair. Sarah Palin really need a good homework and experience in many ways if in future she would like to go out again to contest for the President of America. It will not be a very great disappointment for Sarah Palin if John McCain lost the Presidential Election because she still has a very long road to go. Now, Sarah Palin has a very strong platform and opportunity to climb and promote herself once again maybe to become a first woman to be the President of United State America if Hillary Clinton or other woman did not take it first.

Sabah Lame Duck MP got some guts after all, or He is not.

Today at The New Straits Time Online

Majimbun to show proof that MyKad have issued to foreigners in Sabah

and i quote:

“I will bare all, including proof of people who were not born in Sabah becoming citizens of the country (in Sabah),”

“Just imagine our population increased by 285 per cent between 1970 and 2000."

The question is, why it took so long to take any strong action against the federal government? Sabahan are complaining for a very long time about the false citizenship infesting badly for a very long time. The ironic thing was, this is not caused by the federal government but more to the local self inflicted. If only the local leader willing to take strict action against this thing, this will not happen at first.

Sabahan leader has already proven them self to be a lame duck leader. Action taken was influences to their self political conscious and benefits. Echoing an old unresolved problem such as the illegal, corruption, mismanagement and especially the 20 point agreement now was not because they care for Sabah but for their own political agenda. Sabahan leaders tend to be strong when on the opposition side but a pure lame duck after got their power.

Proof that He also a Lame Duck MP and a puppet to BN handwork.

Musa to consult Barisan leaders

Hillary Clinton: The Real face of a Politician

I always believe the world was not as what we seen. There are multiple layers and layers that cover the actual truth that we never thought it can be. While randomly surfing and looking over videos in YouTube, I found his video documentary is about the wrong doing from the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. I don't really highly regards Hillary as a best choice for becoming the next President of United States America because of her bad track record on past and her attitude and cunning action during the democratic presidential campaign.

I don't really suggest the viewers to believe all what said in the documentary, but at least this is a wakeup call for all of us that a political motivated person cannot to be trusted fully. They might look good in appearance but ugly inside their heart and motivation.

Part 1/2


Part 2/2


Malaysia has its own political drama that can be read in the internet and main stream media from the Mahathir's high court judge, PM Abdullah Badawi's corruption, Najib's connection with Mongolian murder to Anwar's most controversial sodomy case. Many layers of truth and lies covers the truth and it is quite impossible to know the truth unless there are some people with the resource and the right motivation willingly to do so. Luck still on our side because most of this resource can be viewed in the internet and truth slowly slipping out to the general public.

2008 America Presidential Debate and UMNO Presidential Race

I just finished reading the transcript of the Obama and John McCain presidential debate. I prefer to see it on video but i can't find a good link that can let me watched it without lagging, so i choose to read the transcript. To view it on youtube, please click the link below and continue from there.



Click here if youtube not appear.

To make is short, i felt like watching a son and father debate. Obama, a new and eager motivated and filled with idea to run the country and John McCain, an old minded (conservative) person that think he right by experiences and regarding Obama as an inexperience chap. Reading from the transcript of the debate reminded me arguing with my parents, they just don't want to listen. I don't really know what Obama felt that time but if he ever got an argument with a hard headed old person, that what it will be felt.

I believe both candidate arguments were very good but i prefer Obama because his idea and strength believe to benefits the general Americans. Of course, there will be a large portion of American people that choose to be a conservative that choose to path with John McCain argument. In a long run, a liberal like Obama is the best choices for the American and the world generally unless the people voted to choose otherwise.

In another same parallel event in Malaysia, the UMNO presidential races are also going on. Unlike the presidential race in America, Malaysia power balances are focused at this main race based party. Whoever won the leadership in this party, will legally hold the top post of the power in Malaysia. Even if the Pakatan Rakyat becomes the government, there will always be rules to ensure the top power of the Malaysian government secured to the Malay and only to the Malay as multiracial party based leadership is a taboo unless changes happen in the mind of the community itself.

Many speculation describe that Anwar will be taking over the government in an unofficial fashion. I really want to see the changes in Malaysia, but i personally don't really want changes in this dishonorable fashion although most people this it is right to do so. I haven't seen any leader or any party yet that qualified and taking over the leadership of the country. Pakatan Rakyat look like to be a promising path to go but most of the people knew that it is not the perfect combination when racial based mentality still in the heart and mind of most of his leadership.

Sabah's 20 Point Agreement

On 16 September and 45 years ago, Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak joined in this day to create a Federation of Malaya. Today, only Sabah and Sarawak celebrate the Malaysia Day with a special holiday and no mention about it except the codename 916 by the Pakatan Rakyat to taken over the power from the BN ruling government.

It was discussed many times in the newspaper about the 20 Point Agreement, but few knew what really it is. I only knew few points myself and not remembered most of it after reading about it many years ago during last time this was discussed. Not until today, I surf and found this wikipedia entry that listed out the point but i can't really verify it because i can't verify it with the real document.

Basically the 20 points are:

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 to 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 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.

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 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.

Point 4: Head of Federation

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

Point 5: Name of Federation

“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”

Point 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.

Point 7: Right of Secession

There should be no right to secede from the Federation

Point 8: Borneanisation

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

Point 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

Point 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.

Point 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.

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

Point 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

Point 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

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 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)

Point 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

Point 18: Name of Head of State

Yang di-Pertua 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 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.

Looking at this point, i would like to refer to Point 7 as quote;

Point 7: Right of Secession

There should be no right to secede from the Federation

I really want it to be a typo, unless it written at the original documentation that technically seal the future faith of Sabah to the federation that when think about it not a good deal. Why do our past leader could sign and agreed on this point when it means "once you in, no way you out", unless the federal government got fade up with the state such as Singapore, they just need to kick them out.

After reading this 20 point agreement, i really felt that our previous leader was advocated in a very unfair agreement especially Point 7. Other point agreement was terribly violated and ignored due to our local leader failure to let the people know the and didn't put a fight over the violation by the UNMO controlled federal government.

Other legitimate discussion about the 20 Point Agreement was raised by the DAP Lim Kit Siang during the Ma Tzu statue controversy as i quote:

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 to North Borneo.

If Point One of the Twenty-Points had been strictly and scrupulously observed, Sabahan and Malaysians would have been spared the many divisive issues which had polarized Sabahans and Malaysians – such as the confiscation of printed materials for Christians in Sabah because of the unconstitutional ban of the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslims or the half-way stop-work order for the construction of the world’s tallest RM5 million Mazu statue in Kudat because of a fatwa by the Sabah mufti that it is haram in Islam to construct the Mazu statue.

With this point, i believe that Sabah is a socialist state within a federal coalition. This point is important to secure a free religion state to the people of Sabah not even when the majority of the people are muslim. The declaration of Malaysia constitution that stated Islam is the state religion doesn't mean it can interfere with the legal status quo of the nation. Attempt was made by some people to change the Malaysia civil law to a syariah law should be assumed as an attempt to revoke the federation coalition and Sabah and Sarawak should be excluded from the transformation and given the rights to renegotiate to reestablish back the federation coalition or not.

I personally think that Sabah can't really be an independent nation due to the mistake and ignorance that was done by the past leaders. If any chances that Sabah able to be an independent nation, there will be some other problem that needed to be solved. The first problem that will instantly be is the recognition from the Philippine Government and the Sulu Royalty to demand the return of this nation back to them. This will create a greater arm conflict that was long time infested in the provinces due to the overwhelming illegal that was rooted in this state.

The better solution for Sabah is to renegotiate the federation coalition with Malaya, and reconstitute this federation into a fair power sharing and economic wealth distribution that benefit fair and just among the coalition state. The Prime Minster post should be rotated between the federation states that only consisted between Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak with a time limit of term allowed. Malaya should be consider and was considered as one entity in the federal coalition and not the small states within the Malaya itself. If that so to recognize those small states, Sabah and Sarawak should have at least the same amount in total of states compared to Malaya to secure a fair representation of the federation.

I believe that Malaysia needs a new overhaul of its constitution problem due by loop hole and inconsistency that bring to the violation of the rights of the member state of this federation. In the meantime, Happy Malaysia Day!

Not a Happy Day for Malaysian

I'm not happy in these few days. Abdullah Badawi who not happy about his lamb that not happy with the press that not happy with his speech during the election.

Everyone not happy about this. Najib said that he not happy too. This made the lamb not happy about it and it made some one not happy too.

:(

Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaya

Today is the most important day to remember that our history fact was critically altered and changed to suits those who that want to hide the truth about the Federation of Malaysia.
