KOTA KINABALU - Former Chief Minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh (pic) must apologise to Sabahans for signing the Oil Agreement and giving away Labuan to Putrajaya for free without their consultation, said Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BOPIM) Chairman, Daniel John Jambun.
"We are not saying that he should have Sold Labuan for money. We are saying that he should not have given away Labuan to Malaya and had no business, law or no law, in doing so. He will lose in the Court of Public Opinion," he said in a statement.
Based on a recent front page statement in the local media, he said Harris, like other "apologists" for Malaya and Putrajaya, continues to live in a state of extreme denial on the plight of Sabah (Sarawak too) since 16, Sept, 1963.
"Hardly 16 days after it obtained independence, Sabah and Sarawak werepushed into the Malayan Federation by the British colonialists in cahoots with Malaya while the UN looked the other way.
"Even the Conference of Malaya Rulers and the States in Malaya were not consulted. What more proof does Harris want of Malaya and Putrajaya being in colonial occupation of Sabah and Sarawak when the proof is all around us in the Master -Slave relationship, the sick ideology of ketuanan Melayu, and the slave mentality and dependency syndrome foisted on us," he said.
"What better proof of colonialism can there be when Sabah and Sarawak are the poorest in Malaysia could have been much better off on their own?
"The World Bank, using Government figures from Putrajaya, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, announced in Kota Kinabalu in Dec 2010 that Sabah and Sarawak are the poorest states in Malaysia. Forty per cent of the poor in Malaysia, according to the World Bank, were in Sabah.
"Malaya has also never observed Malaysia Day, 16 Sept, even once in the last 50 years because they know it marks Occupation Day," he claimed.
Jambun claimed there was also no indication in the Federal Constitution that the name Malaya was changed to Malaysia.
"The Malayan Government has become the Malaysian Government and we have no share of it. The Malayan flag and national anthems have become Malaysian.
"Malaya has stolen our seats in Parliament and Malayan parties are stealing even more seats in Borneo.
"No Sabahan or Sarawakian will ever become Prime Minister or even Deputy Prime Minister under Ketuanan Melayu. There's no Malaysia as . originally envisaged," he claimed, adding that Article 160 of the Federal Constitution made this clear.
Sabah and Sarawak were pulled into the Federation on Malaya as the 12th and 13th states to facilitate the merger of Singapore and Malaya.
Jambun said the Federation of Malaya was masquerading as the Federation of Malaysia and the Constitution of Malaya is being passed off as the Constitution of Malaysia.
"The facts speak for themselves."
He said the .British told Sabahans and Sarawakians that Malaysia will be an equal partnership and they also told the UN that Sabah and Sarawak will be joining the existing Federation of Malaya so there was no need for a Referendum.
"Harris has also been claiming at every opportunity that the 20 Points - a constitutional document on Malaysia are no longer relevant.
"If there had been a Referendum on Malaysia, the 20/18 Points along with the Malaysia Agreement would have provided the two additional basis for Sabah and Sarawak to be in Malaysia.
"What's the basis for Sabah and Sarawak to be members of the Federation with Malaya if there's also non-compliance on the Malaysia Agreement and the 20/18 Points?" he asked.
"The people are being marginalised and disenfranchised especially through illegal immigrants entering the electoral rolls. In rooting for the Filipino and Indonesian illegal immigrants, Mahathir
Mohamad doesn't seem to care that Sabah belongs to the Orang Asal and other Sabahans.
"The Sabah and Sarawak governments are helpless. Some political figures are proxies, stooges and rogue elements -through handing out of MyKads to illegal immigrants," he said.
Singapore was kicked out of its merger with Malaya in 1965 and today has an economy, in GDP terms, which is almost as large as that of Malaysia. Singapore's runaway success since 1965 merely reflects the failure of Malaysia especially in Borneo, he said.
Brunei is in control of its considerable oil and gas reserves unlike Sabah and Sarawak whose resources are being stolen by Petronas in cahoots with Putrajaya since 1976 in defiance of the Federal Constitution and based on a One-sided Oil Agreement which is worse than useless in international law.
"The onus is on Malaya to disprove theft, failing which the issue of punitive compensation enters the picture," he said.
