Read facts about "secession"

Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU : What is "secession"? The current trending word "secession" or "seceding" is derived from the Latin term secessio, which describes the act of withdrawing from an organisation, union, or a political entity.
World's history, both in olden days and recent, is astoundingly littered with the act of "seceding". In Americas, Europe, Africa, Indias and even nearby Indonesia the act of seceding has been just too common. Many seceding territories or states did succeed but others were crushed, violently.

Parliamentary Seats are Constitutional Safeguards for Sabah Sarawak – Dr. Jeffrey

Malaya bleeding us dry

By Zainal Ajamain

Putrajaya's version of history has contaminated the minds
of children and stripped Sabahans of their dignity,
says economist and author Zainal Ajamain.
These words “we demand autonomy or Sabah Negeri, Merdeka” must be on the lips and hearts of all true leaders in Sabah.

On both sides of Sabah’s political divide, our leaders have long been incapacitated by their fear of their perceived Malaya masters.

They will not speak out against the daily injustices towards fellow Sabahans. And even when they do speak up it is just passive shouting – a token resistance, just to show they are saying something.

Messing up with Merdeka date

Aug 31 or Sept 16? The people of Sabah and
Sarawak want Aug 31 to be addressed as the
independence day of Malaya, not Malaysia.
Is Aug 31 the independence day of Malaysia or Malaya? Referring to the former, which is what we have for so long been doing, has caused a lot of unhappiness among the people of East Malaysia, that is, Sabah and Sarawak.

As of 2010, the population of the two states stood at six million (3.5 million in Sabah and 2.5 million in Sarawak), representing roughly 20% of the population of Malaysia.

Historically, the term “Malaysia” came into being on Sept 16, 1963. Prior to that, this country was called “Malaya” which in the Philippine national language of Tagalog also means “free” or “freedom”.

Stop lying about history of Malaysia's Formation- Dr. Jeffrey

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA
KINABALU: The Federal Government should stop lying about the history of Malaysia and restate correctly the facts of history to stop the confusion.
 
Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, the Chairman of the United Borneo Front (UBF) made this call at a Borneo Tea Party organized by Sikinor Gunu at Kg. Malangang, Kiulu, on 01 September 2011.  “This continuous lying is an affront to the founding fathers of Malaysia and a gross injustice to Sabah and Sarawak,” he said.
 

Negara, not negeri, status for Sabah

Luke Rintod of FMT
KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah was supposed to retain its “negara” or national status in a series of arrangements to ensure that the rights of Sabahans would forever be protected during the formation of Malaysia.
This little known fact was revealed at a national conference on marginalised communities, which arrested the attention of the participants.
They were told that the ideals that gave rise to the birth of a new nation in 1963 have, however, been eroded until those rights have all but disappeared.
“Sabah was given the understanding that it was to remain a national entity within the Malaysian Federation, which was to be a partnership of four national units – Sabah, Sarawak,  Singapore  and Malaya,” deputy president of CigMa or Common Interest Group Malaysia, Daniel John Jambun, said in his presentation titled “Lest We Forget”.

The Malaysia story: Truth, History and Propaganda

 By Joe Fernandez

COMMENT Malaysia, it is being written, is celebrating its 53rd year of independence since the departure of the British colonialists.

This appears to support the unspoken, unwritten, official line that 1957 is the year of independence for the entire country.

This version of history can only mean that Malaya underwent a name change in 1963 to emerge as Malaysia. Hence the story of 53 years continues.

PKR preaches good governance but teaches dirty polling tactics to its members, say members

By Ezra Haganez

KUDAT: At least three local Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders from Kudat claimed there were irregularities too at their weekend party polls.

Ondon Mangajil, who won a divisional committee seat, said he was unhappy because of glaring irregularities at the party polls where candidates aligned to incumbent Mursalim Tanjul were allowed to assist the monitoring team appointed by headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

“How could it be that even candidates themselves were running themselves the polling process? This does not happen in other political parties but it is allowed in PKR and worse it was only for certain group in the party.
