Sabah and 'orang Malaya'...

Update: Musa Aman says Nurul was stopped for Sabah's peace and security 

I am not defending Nurul Izzah. Her 'deportation' from Sabah the other day was the prerogative right of the Chief Minister, and I believe it was done on legal basis, based on Sabah Constitution and its immigration law.

However, as a Malaysian, I think the 'too downright explanation' given by Sabah Kini is making some of us, especially us in 'Malaya' a bit hurt. Some of the definitions used to answer Nurul are reaching deep into the hearts of 'rakyat Malaya di Semenanjung'.

Oleh kerana saudari bukan individu milik negeri Sabah (bukan rakyat Sabah), maka saudari tidak diberikan hak mencari nafkah di negeri Sabah atau masuk secara bebas 'menebeng' kepada paksi politik; termasuk mengembangkan pengaruh politik di Sabah. 

  Jika Kerajaan Negeri Sabah mahu menghalang saudari, tidak ada siapa mampu menghalang Kerajaan Sabah memberikan status 'Persona Non Grata' kepada saudari; terutama ketika hebat berkempen PRU-13 lalu, namun insiden berkenaan tidak berlaku. 

  Persoalannya, kenapa Musa Aman mesti melayan pertanyaan politik yang dibangkitkan saudari sedangkan kuasa Imigresen adalah kuasa mutlak Ketua Menteri Sabah yang terhad hanya untuk orang 'Malaya' atau 'Sarawak' yang ingin masuk ke Sabah; tetapi tidak mempunyai autonomi terhadap warga asing.

Maaf, bah. I don't quite understand the double standard in defining between a 'Malaysian', 'Sabahan' or 'Sarawakian'. Does it mean Malaysians from 'Malaya' have to apply special permission to enter Sabah as tourists or non-political engagement?

I believe PM Najib and Home Minister Zahid Hamid will have to zoom in into this issue as the 'individu milik negeri Sabah' does not augur well for our 1Malaysia concept.

PATI ramai di Sabah kerana terlalu dekat dengan Sempadan Indonesia dan Filipina, serta banyak peluang pekerjaan dan perniagaan di Sabah sehingga 'Orang Malaya' juga berpusu datang ke Sabah, sekalipun dihalang melalui kuasa Imigresen. 
  Persoalan yang terlupa kita fikir ialah siapa yang beri kebenaran kepada 'Orang Malaya' termasuk saudari masuk sesuka hati ke Sabah dan seenaknya memaki Anak Negeri Sabah dan pemimpinnya dengan pelbagai gelaran dan panggilan? 
  Isu Hak Istimewa Sabah terhadap Sekatan Imigresen bukanlah alat politik untuk menindas rakyat, sebaliknya adalah Hak Autonomi yang dimiliki Sabah sejak merdeka dan inilah yang cuba dihakis oleh Pakatan Rakyat.

If it applies to Nurul, means it also apply to all Malaysiains from 'Malaya'. I think there are more Sabahans in 'Malaya' than the 'Malayans' in Sabah, and any Sabahan who comes to any part of the Semanjung is not subjected to any immigration law as their Mykad is the valid proof that they are Malaysiains who are free to go to any part of the country.

I don't know as to whether the writer was 'emotionalised' by Nurul's issue but such an 'open revealing' could have been measured before it goes to print.

I also believe our immigration law that requires those from 'Malaya' to fill up special form before arriving in Sabah and Sarawak should be reviewed and, possibly abolished.

Sebagai 'Rakyat Sabah' saya juga menentang saudari masuk ke Sabah tanpa urusan 'RASMI' dan jika tidak ingin dihalau secara 'tidak berperlembagaan' masuklah secara bermaruah dengan membuat permohonan kerana Sabah bukan salah satu 'negeri' di Malaysia; sebaliknya 'Negara' dalam Negara.

Again, it applies to all people of 'Malaya'. I have been to Sabah many times without having to 'apply' for my stay or visit there. I am not sure if 'orang Malaya' likes being treated as aliens in Sabah and Sarawak because such a segregation is not healthy for national unity.

However, I like this one:

Saudari mungkin terlupa bahawa bapa saudari salah seorang 'Jurutera' di belakang tabir dalam 'Ops Durian Buruk' terutama usaha merampas kuasa daripada Kerajaan PBS pada 1994. 

  Kebolosan sempadan bukan sahaja berlaku di Sabah, malah sehingga ke Lembah Kelang (Chow Kit dibanjiri PATI); bukan kerana Sabah gagal menjaga sempadan dan kedaulatan negara tetapi kerana kekangan Akta Imigresen yang bolos; termasuk 'tidak ada undang-undang yang membolehkan pihak berkuasa menangkap PATI ketika berada di Perairan Negara, melainkan setelah PATI berkenaan mendarat'.

But Sabah is beautiful!
