Malaysia Agreement 1963 (Sabah 20 points)

Posted on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 2:36 PM by J.I.M Editor (1 comment)
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.[7][8]

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.[7][8]

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 was of course essential. .[7][8]

Point 4: Head of Federation

The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation.[8]

Point 5: Name of Federation

“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”[8]

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.[7][8]

Point 7: Right of Secession

There should be no right to secede from the Federation.[8][9]

Point 8: Borneanisation

Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

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 Malaya formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

Point 15: Education

The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control.[8][9]

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.[8][9] (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 size and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore.[8][9]

Point 18: Name of Head of State

Yang di-Pertua Negara.[8][9]

Point 19: Name of State

Sabah.[8][9]

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.[8][9]

Penduduk Baram telah beralih kepada Kesatuan Eropah untuk meminta pertolongan supaya apa yang berlaku kepada mereka yang terjejas oleh empangan Bakun, tidak pula berlaku kepada mereka, apabila empangan Baram siap dibina.

 Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Melindungi Penduduk Baram (BPPC) Philip Jau (kiri) berkata beliau nampak keranda nenek moyang masyarakat Orang Ulu terapung menyusuri sungai dari kawasan perkuburan asalnya.

Jau berkata demikian kepada Duta Kesatuan Eropah semalam dalam satu forum yang dianjurkan oleh Persatuan Dayak Iban Sarawak (SADIA).

"Saya berada di Bakun dua minggu lalu dan nampak beberapa keranda terapung menyusuri sungai dari kawasan perkuburan asalnya akibat air dari empangan Bakun," kata Jau.

 "Ia amat menyedihkan melihat nenek moyang kita dihanyutkan oleh air empangan Bakun," katanya, sambil menegaskan bahawa penduduk Baram tidak mahu ini berlaku kepada keranda nenek moyang mereka apabila projek empangan Baram siap.

Sambil menoleh ke arah beberapa ketua jabatan di forum itu, Jau berkata: "Beritahu pihak berkuasa dan Sarawak Energy Berhad untuk berbuat sesuatu tentang keranda terapung itu.

"Pemandangan ini bukan sahaja menakutkan, tetapi juga tidak menghormati roh orang yang telah meninggal," katanya.

Ini adalah salah satu sebab mengapa penduduk membantah keras pembinaan empangan Baram.

Sebab-sebab lain, katanya, termasuk pemusnahan kampung mereka, gereja, sekolah dan tanah nenek moyang mereka dan juga gangguan terhadap kehidupan mereka.

Jau berkata mereka telah melihat bagaimana sengsaranya kehidupan mereka yang telah terjejas oleh empangan di Bakun, Murum dan Batang Ai.

Baram’s residents have turned to the European Union to ask for help that what happened to those affected by Bakun dam does not happen to them, when the Baram dam is completed.

Baram People Protection committee (BPPC) Philip Jau said that he had seen coffins containing the remains of the forefathers of the Orang Ulu floating down river from their original graveyards due to the intervention in Bakun dam.
