I post the 20 points on my previous post. I bet 80% of Sabahan did not even know the content of the agreement. Well, this is basically the very foundation of being a Sabahan; to know why you are called Malaysian. Through this agreement the Federation of Malaysia was formed and the word Malaysian come to exist. In doesn’t take a genius to see how many of the points had been put aside. I didn’t say that they were violated because I don’t have 100% assurance whether they scrapped it legally or not. But deep in my heart I felt my rights which was penned down in the agreement were violated.
We were not taught about it explicitly in the school. They just mention that Sabahan signed the 20 points agreement to form Malaysia. Well I prefer it to be called the Federation of Malaysia. This Federation includes Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya. It’s nothing to do with Selangor, Johor….Sabah and Sarawak. But somehow Sabah and Sarawak had been downgraded into a mere state like Selangor, Johor and so on.
Don’t you realise why we are bigger than most states. We are a territory with autonomous rights. But because of our ignorance, Sabahan were made to believe that they were just a mere state. We were even made to surrender our immigration rights without much force by using the nationalism agenda. They put into our mind that this control of immigration can spoil the unity in Malaysia.
Sabahan please stop being ignorant. Read your history. From the 2nd richest state in Malaysia, Sabah now have become third poorest in Malaysia. Even state without natural resources like Kedah pipped us from the richest list.
I talk to some people before the general election in March. I was surprised by the level of ignorance by most of these people. Some even have not yet registered as voter eventhough the person is very well almost past 30 years mark. I wonder what is in that person’s mind? Have you no concern at all? Just because you have enough money to buy food now then you don’t have to think about your future generation? If you are just past your 20 then I won’t question your maturity but you are now almost past 30. Wake up stupid!!! Some even talk about how they were given a streetlight by their respective leader. They talk how good the leader is in providing for their needs. Well, I won’t take away the credits which is due to the leader. I believe he has done his job. I believe he has done everything what he suppose to do. Did you know that they were given allocation to do that? That is basically his job. They were paid by you the taxpayer to do that. So, nothing to be proud of. Anyone who sit in his place were expected to do the same thing. It is not a matter of choice. The big question is did he fight for your rights? Unless you know what is your rights you cannot answer this question. So start to learn about your rights and the first step is to know why you are called Malaysian.
