Sarawak must be made EQUAL to Malaya – not a colony
Posted by Equalizer
Dayakbaru: The comparison should not versus the British rule. We remained Malaysian but could it has been better if Malaya give back more autonomy to Sarawak. Let us start with the 18 points agreement when we formed Malaysia. Sarawak joined Malaysia as a WILAYAH – not NEGERI (State). That is why our Governor is known as Yang Di-Pertuan Negara.
Kuala Lumpur changed all these and many more and the end result is we are back to being a “Colony” again.
In Sarawak – Sarawakian is against over patronage by Putra Jaya. This is NOT what Sarawak in Malaysia should be. BN is such a tool to deny Sarawak of its autonomy. Tun Jugah did not desire a “colony” to replace “another colony”. He wants independence within the Malaysia context.
My political agenda is to get Malaya to recognise Sarawak as an equal partner along the 18 points agreement. Then I would be happy knowing well that the intention of our founding fathers are realized. Some examples:
1. We should have an education system that is based on secular values.
2. Civil service should reflect Sarawak strength and not domination by ONE race from West Malaysia as it is now.
3. Sarawak must the right to be economically independent – not dependent on Federal Government as it is now. (etc)
4. The racial harmony in Sarawak now is being corrupted by religious zealot mindset of West Malaysia copied from Miiddle East.
Dear Dr. John,
1. The question should be, which race has been short-changed, rather than posting a statement, “Dayaks have been short-changed under Malaysia”. Or if I may add more appropriately, a question should be posed, “has Sarawak been short-changed under Malaysia”.
2. As Dr. John wished it and made a strong statement, should I suggest we list down the reasons why the readers feel that Sarawak has been short-changed under Malaysia on grounds in respect of the following:
a. Income.
b. Education.
c. Land.
d. Health.
e. Wealth.
f. Freedom of religion.
g. Freedom of language/speech.
h. Housing.
i. Agriculture/Farming.
j. History.
k. Culture.
l. Technology.
3. Would dayaks be better off compared with if they were to continue under British rule?
4. What do dayaks expect they should get from the government, be it under Malaysia or under the British, that they would then consider they are not short-changed?
5. Are other racial groups worse off compared with dayaks?
6. It is real or perception? Or is it like Oliver Twist, asking for more, like there was never enough?
7. It is good to make a comparison chart.
Thank you, Dr. John

All,
Its perfectly alright if DL slapped DB on the face with words, but when Deputy Inspector –General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar slapped your face with his fist you must raise your white flag (surrender).DB may be too engrossed with their write-up in this blog that they couldn’t notice Borneo Post headline today: PENAN RAPE: “The case is closed & not enough evidence”
The police have done all on DB’s allegation that Penan girls being raped…but its clear that there simply not enough evidence from a law prospective to arrest of prosecute anyone, hence the case is now closed. There are the needs for DB to re-adjust their mind set as not to believe in hearsay.
As always DL said “Yangdikasihi is right when he insisted that the raped allegation was not true and it’s the works of NGO aimed at tarnishing the good image of the BN gomen”
My guts feeling is that, some of DB or thier logger friends might be involved in the Penan raping incident thus explaining why they refused to come forward to provide evidences.I suggest that the authorities should conduct DNA test on both PE & CI for more clues.
I have been away, ngiga pemakai and the first thing I read is Dayak Lama’s comment. Please Dayak Lama – this piece of article is not politically biased, and you should treat it as such. Whether BN or PR, these are real problems.
If reflective/corrective/critical thinking is politics; this is really myopic, even self centred. This article highlights the imbalance between W Malaysia and Sarawak-Sabah – would we be better off if we are self governed? The answer is either yes or no; it would be better if you can support your conclusion.
I would say that we would not reach this state of dissatisfaction had things been fair between East and West. The best example is INCOME.
40,000 Dayaks in Johore is proof that what we earn, the place we earn, the means we earn in Sarawak are just inadequate. This fact itself should alert all logical thinking Dayaks. Think about the social fabrics of the Dayaks. Think about out displacement. Think about our identity – already we are at a crisis; eg. there are many Marina Undaus around.
That’s my thought for the time being – ka ngiga pemakai dulu.
JJ,
Testing was done! Result found. It is officially neither mine nor PE’s.
It has been officially announced that the DNA is YOURS,JJ.
WTF?.
1. Region : Malaya = Sarawak = Sabah = Singapore (Withdrew)
2. Budget : Eg. if Malaya get RM50Billion = Sarawak should get RM50Billion too = Sabah also should get RM50Billion too. If Sarawak and Sabah are given budget as “State status” then Sarawak and Sabah always “KUNCIT” in term of development. If the status quo now continue NO WAY Sarawak and Sabah will progress effectively like Malaya.
3. Administration: Sarawak and Sabah SHOULD have their own Ketua Negara (Not Ketua Negeri)
4. Since the point here is EQUAL PARTNER, Sarawak and Sabah people should HEAD every Government Department in the REGIONS.
5. Under 18/20 Points, Malaya STRESS on “NO RIGHT TO SECESSION” – find, therefore let Sarawak and Sabah enjoy other POINTS too. Not “unilaterally” controlled by Putrajaya only. That similar to “PENJAJAHAN” = back to square one again.
WHO MARGINALIZED THE 18/20 POINTS AGREEMENT SO FAR?
CAN WE GO BACK TO THE REAL SPIRIT OF MALAYSIA AGREEMENT 18/20 POINTS?
MAY BE SABAH AND SARAWAK NEED TO STRESS ON THIS MALAYSIA AGREEMENT TO REALLY ENJOY THE GENUINE AND TRUE MERDEKA as EXPECTED by Temenggung Jugah and his partner from Sabah for the people of Sarawak and Sabah.

My comment:
Brilliant idea !!!!!!!!!
HOWEVER, don’t forget to ask SPRM @ MACC @ PAC to conduct DNA test of YDK and cronies.
They’ve raping Dayak for more than 40 years.
Uchak CI @ Langgai Tinggang,
I really don’t know what had becoming of you. First PE confirmed that both of you is conning Lebi Impin over a land deal. You received introduction fees but you denied.
Secondly you refused DNA test on the Penan raped incident.If indeed you were not involved why must you be afraid and spending sleepless night blogging?
John Jamban, Dayaklama and June – please focus on the issue highlighted by the article. Please do not distract from the key issue here.
I appreciate your participation but please keep to the point of discussion
Sorry John, this particular subject does not interest DL much.Our only comment is that: Sarawakian IQ is proven lower that Malayan people IQ.As such we should remained a clony or surbodinate to Malaya.Our “Chawat” mentality is infinity…so why asked for equality?
It does not matter however coz Tun Mahathir during his recent visit here siad he was impressed with pace of development in Sarawak saying that the just-completed DUN Complex is a testimony of the state progresiveness under the leadership of Yangdiksihi. “This show that Sarawak BN is doing pretty well and its one of the dynamic states in Malaysia”.
At the moment none of the states in the country have built such complex coz only Sarawak has the money”. He is short of saying that since BN gomen under Yangdikasihi is performing the Dayaks must support and that what DL is trying to convey to all Dayaks voters throuh your Blog.
Equal, is a nice word to hear but difficult to do.
If we want Sabah and Sarawak to be equal as Semenanjung, the obstruction is there. They can twist that into three main categories which is not to our advantage. First, No. of states, second population and third size of state.
States: Semenanjung 11
Sarawak 1
Sabah 1
W.P Labuan 1
*If to have equal share they have 11 times much.
Population: They have 10 times more than us so they will get more.
State size: If they agree only this we can get a more or less. If state size is not considered then we are only dreaming for things that will never come.
Equaliser and Dr JBA,
——————————————–
There’s not much benefit to be gained from invoking the 18-point agreement. Even if it can be found and be dessiminated widely like the Sabah 20-point agreement, it would only serve to document the intent of the founding fathers. However, the intention has been superceded by the Malaysia Agreement in London, and the signing of the Constitution into Law. There is no legal basis to try to sue the Malaysian Parliment, or the Agong, as the Head of the Nation – to discard the present Constitution and to construct a new one – based on what may have been intended (say – a regional grouping of equals – Sabah, Malaya, Sarawak).
To my mind, the only viable approach is to study the socio-politic of the Federation as is, and to justify why it would be in the national interest to provide greater autonomy to all the states.The idea would have to be sell to all the MPs and Federal Ministers – indeed, every Malaysians. Strength in diversity …
Its a huge pretension to imagine that Sabah and Sarawak would be able to catch up with Peninsula, if the existing national compact is adopted for eternity.To assume the Peninsular-dominated Fed government would bend over, out of kindness and to provide – decidedly more devt resource for Sabah and Sarawak to catch up, is also daydreaming. So then, it make sense for all states in the Federation to pull back a bit, and let each state do its own thing, and to use its strenght to the fullest. I believe Malaysia will be stronger by allowing each member states more breathing space: more freedom. If Kelantan wants Hudud and Syariah, why not let them have it – so that by the same token, Sarawak can be allowed to bring back the Missionary priest. Or even to declare every Sarawakian is a Native. Things like that.And of course, not to forget – let Sarawak get more cut of the oil revenue through many reasonable mechanism, including tax (while there is still oil and gas left in the ground).
What on earth is happen here Dr. John? Are we out of chart.
Who is or are the real culprits in raping the poor penan girls? According to the police there is no real case or even Yang Dikasihi also said the same things.
Yet there is an allegation by my comrades JJ and DL that CI and PE are the real culprits based on their samples of segmen DeoxyriboNucleicAcid. And it is understood also from hearsay Pala Tekura and Jojis are also involved in raping these poor girls. But due to the insufficent evidence that these two stooges are Discharge Not Amount To Aquintal DNAA by the court of laws.
If this is true then these criminals crime of carnal should be put in jail for a long,long times without parole and plus their menhood should be by cut off.
I think Madam Wong and Nikita will agree with me 100%
Luckily this present BN government Under Yang DiKasihi is QUITE fair in everything even to the extent of releasing another two culprits Pala Tekura and Jojis for lack of evidence. Otherwise if in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirate which their Laws for crime of passion are follow by PAS one of the components of PAKATAN RAKYAT, you two should be penalised with 5 years of hard labour and send to Gulag, in seberia to serve your terms. How about it?
I think there is every reason to feel we are just an appendage in the Federation.
1. When has flood in the state received national prominence? Saw Muyidin in Kedah in today’s paper? Why is he not in Balingian, or Limbang?
2. When has our per capital income be an issue of discussion in parliament? What is the average income of W Malaysian in Jengka triangle as compared to Dayaks in Salcra?
3. When has – until recently – the 16 September been recognised? We are made to celebrate a holiday that’s equivalent to colonialism.
4. People working in Federal Government (eg School teacher) – when had the Federal Education Department respected Gawai and allow staff time off? Federal gov’t arrange for seminars on 1 & 2 of June. How do they like to have seminars during Hari Raya?
5. When has the trunk road linking the North to South an issue with the Putra Jaya? If any road in Kedah, Pahang becomes unpassable – if forms national news.
6. When has the expensive medical, transport and educational costs been mentioned in Putra Jaya? How do the sick from Nanga Merit visit the hospital?
7. Pa Lah said the average monthly income per family to be below the poverty lever was RM3,600. Did he ever look at Sarawak & Sabah?
8. Let’s not mention the Marina Undaus, the “Allah” ruling etc.
We can go down the list and feel that we are indeed just an appendage – irrelevant. Now we have become “fixed deposit” and we hope to see a few things moving. Why not before?
As I mentioned we allow these issues to simmer for years. We try to cover and plaster the wounds which had turned gangrene. If the people speak out, it’s not because the people are unpatriotic, ungrateful etc. Any right thinking individual having the capability to emotion and anger would get angry. Let us all speak out.
Sarawak is already equal to Malaya in many aspect.The Federalim system dictate that we can never be equal with Malaya in “all aspect” simply becuase PM and DPM must be chosen among UMNO.
Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is impressed with the pace of development in Sarawak, saying that the just-completed State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Complex is a testimony of the state’s progressiveness.“This shows that Sarawak is doing pretty well and it is one of the dynamic states in Malaysia.
“At the moment, none of the states in the country have built such a complex, probably because they do not have the money,” In short all Sarawakian should continue supporting BN gomen under the able leadersip of Yangdikasihi.
So long as we are under Federalism we have no choice but to continue being a colony of Malaya.That is not all, even if Putra Jaya wants to treat us equal its up to Yangdikasihi (not us) to determine our distiny. Its for this reason DL has been insisting that Sarawakian must work-hand-in-glove with Yangdikasihi.
Tuan Lutor,
Part of the 18 points agreement is the absolute control of immigration and land management of Sarawak state. Who is colonize who now DB? Our Malaya friend has to produce their passport while entering Sarawak while as Dr.John, MT and others can go freely to work, opening businesses in Malaya and they can even buy house, land and no need to get work permit to work in Malaya. Isn’t this show that Sarawakian were accorded with more previleges and treat Malaya as their colony?
Oil and Gas does not belong to Sarawak even some are located not far from offshore Sarawak as all oil platforms are not located on land. Furthermore most of these old oil platforms does not generate much oil and gas anymore, almost being sucked dry. The new oilfield located miles away is under EEZ almost near international waters and this is definitely no longer belong to Sarawak. So 5% royalty paid to Sarawak is more than enough. Why DB still claim that Malaya syphone the wealth from the natural resources of Sarawak?
Schools, universities, clinics, hospitals, agricultures, factories, Dams, airports and you name it, Sarawak have it. If look at some states like Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Selangor where got airport? The most airports were in Sarawak and whereas in Malaya each state have only one airport except a few above that doesn’t have at all? If you look carefully again Sarawak states has 3 cities, 4 big towns where as in Malaya each state has only either 1 town or city.
So to say Sarawak is not treated equally is big lies.
continue….
Lawyers from Malaya also cannot practise in Sarawak which is fortunate otherwise our local lawyer friends cannot survive.If DB want equality they must also be prepared to surrender thier NCR land to West Malaysian.

Dear Dr. John,
Let’s hear what our Lady of Courage of the laws says:
“The Merdeka Social Contract is an accord or understanding that was arrived at by the leaders of the major races, firstly in Malaya prior to 1957 and subsequently prior to the formation of Malaysia in 1963. What was agreed as part of this Merdaka Social Contract was subsequently embodied in the Federal Constitution.”
“The Merdeka Social Contract is like all other contracts, the subject of negotiation and compromise.”
‘We have heard so much about the ’special position of the Malays’ and also the ‘natives of Sabah and Sarawak’ but when was the last time you heard a speech about safeguarding ‘the legitimate interests of other communities’. It would appear that we have lost our balance.”
“….the Federal Constitution actually distinguish between the Malays themselves.”
The above statements are extracts of a speech by the ex-President of Bar Council Malaysia, the Lady of Courage, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan.
My congratulations to Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan for making the great and wise comments on Merdeka Social Contract. No wonder, she was awarded with ‘2009 International Women of Courage Award’, presented by Hillary Clinton on behalf of USA, in the present of the First Lady, Michell Obama in Washington.
My observation is: The “Advocates’ Association of Sarawak’ is very quiet and adopt a silent posture, most of the times on matters relate to the Merdeka Social Contract or social-imbalances in Sarawak. Can some Sarawak brave advocates step forward, be counted and offer their views and opinions, including YBs on this important topic called Merdeka Social Contract? I believe their civic services will be very much appreciated by all Sarawakians.
God bless Sarawak and grant her social justice.
Tabi Kaban Blogger,
DB GROUP IS HALF POLE, SEE THING LIKE 1+1=3…..CAN LEAD DAYAK TO GO FORWARD
Mr. Equaliser/Db….I think you people are half past six. You don’t see what we see, and you don’t think, what we think.
Some time you make thing 1+1=3 not 2. Or false+false =true. Your world is full of denial and negative thinking. You have created anti-development virus for the dayak.
As we always preached and practised is caring govt, rakyat didahalukan in 1MALAYSIA Concept. We don’t see: this is Malaya and this Swk and Sabah.
We see the rakyat is equally treated in term of education, business and job opportunity.
As far Economic Planning Unit in Putrajaya (EPU) is concerned, the development project is well spread equally among the people. Nobody is missed the main stream of development, not even our brother Penan.
The concept of the narrowing the gap between “the have and the have not” is widely practised by the present govt.
While planning for the road, the govt especially the EPU endorsed the formula or justification with great care. Coastal area of Swk like Mukah division is provided first when compared to Kapit because Mukah over the years is creating more economic potential than any other area.
But DB group thought otherwise, that Mukah is CM area, which is baseless. I am sure our Paramount Chief will back this argument.
DB DONT WORRY, UNDER BN you’re safe, WE CARE FOR PEOPLE.
THEREFORE OUR BROTHER SWKIAN=BROTHER SBHAN=BROTHER WEST M’SIAN HAVING EQUAL RIGHT & PRIVILEGE
Nya aja kaban.
The British initially suggested that North Borneo (Sabah), Brunei and Sarawak should formed a Federation.
Tengku learned of the concept and suggest to the British government to form Malaysia with Malaya and Singapore plus later on North Borneo and Sarawak.
Tengku’s intention to get Sabah and Sarawak to join Malaysia was to ensure that the Malay(s) population plus the natives of Sabah and Sarawak would be more than Chinese.
Then Lee Kwan Yew saw no opportunity for Chinese to become Prime Minister of Malaysia – he decided NOT becoming part of Malaysia. Actually, bringing Brunei to its side as Brunei was not prepared to share its oil and gas wealth with Malaysia.
Till to date Singapore and Brunei has special relationship. Sarawak and Sabah should have been given more share of their own wealth of oil and Gas.
The States in West Malaysia has prosper due to Sarawak / Sabah oil and gas and Trengganu only recently contributed to the Federal coffer.
Tun Jugah was given the “promised” that : If the Governor is Malay then the Chief Minister must be Dayak and vice versa. KL helped to oust Ningkan by declaring an emergency in Sarawak, paving the way for Rahman to take over.
Rahman was helped by SIDI MUNAN and ALFRED MASON by getting Penghulu Abok and Dimbab Maja to switch camp. Ningkan and Kana team lost the battle as Rahman sworn in his cabinet early next day.
Read “The Rising Moon” by Micheal Leigh if you want more detail of what happened.
If you still want to know wnat actually happen before Sarawak help formed Malaysia – please read the book “Rajah and Rebel” written by Robert Pringle.
UMNO / BN has been unkind to Sabah and Sarawak by not giving them due recognition and special allocation. Taib have to cut down virgin forest and sell state land to plantation in order to earn money for the State. But that does not give Taib / BN to force the rural Sarawakian into poverty. Thus, the people of Sabah / Sarawak remained poor under BN.
Dayakbaru – do not be fooled by the BN Cyber rangers. Non of us got paid for blogging but BN cyber rangers got paid hamdsomely. Thus you see their lies through their fingers on the key board.
…..correction…
Tabi Kaban Blogger,
DB GROUP IS HALF POLE, SEE THING LIKE 1+1=3…..CAN’T LEAD DAYAK TO GO FORWARD
EQUAL here should be seen within the MALAYSIA AGREEMENT 18/20 POINTS perspective.
NOT equal “lateral” meaning. Please understand the topic correctly.
Please read and understand the 18/20 Points correctly under Malaysia Agreement Spirit.
If you cannot understand them, then its “very” risky for you to talk on this topic.
What more if you never see or have a copy of it (or at least it duplicate copy).
Dear Dr. John,
18 points or no 18 points, 20 points or no 20 points. On shore or off shore. Fair share or unfair share.
Both sides have their views and opinions.
But how to divide the wealth of the nation and have the three regions have fair and if possible equal shares and equal development.
Within each region, the same principle and equality policy are practised and all races are treated like truely Malaysians and equal. what divides and poses as a barrier are removed including the status of bumi and non-bumi.
Let’s look at three regions (Malaya, Sarawak, Sabah) first: What should be a fair share and budgets for each region on the following:
a. Federal Ministership/deputy-ministership.
b. Federal Government posts.
c. Military generals/personnel.
d. Police high,middle and low ranking.
e. Federal Government-linked organisations and
companies.
f. Oil and gas.
g. Scholarships.
h. Infra-structures.
i. Plantation budgets.
j. Housing.
k. Health.
l. Education.
m. Agriculture.
n. Infra-structure.
o. Media, TV, radio.
p. Transportation.
q. Culture.
The distribution of budget must be fair and just and seen to be fair and just, with the clearest possible transparency Malaysia ever experienced.
Keep up the good fight Dr. John.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and bigger.
It won’t be too long, before the PM will see it clearer.
Good luck and soldier on.
SIDI MUNAN and ALFRED MASON should have been given at least a Datukship each for helping Rahman to take over the Sarawak Government from SNAP. Many SNAP Ministers of that fateful day are still alive now. Who syas we Dayak forget things easily.
There are however some as in find in this blod that are not only in the State of denial but als choose to ignore facts.
Today – both person remained with their original name without a “prefix” in front.
Is that how Rahman / Taib and UMNO generally treat their dear friends who perform when they are in need to topple Dayak in Sarawak.
UMNO has NEVER been comfortable with Dayak leading the Sabah / Sarawak. That is NOW – not history and we arte living in the “present tense”.
By the way Changop, you are correct. I never sat for MCE exam. I sat for another one earlier than MCE, in 1971. It is however not relevant for the above discussion but just trying to help you correct certain “personal fact”.
Seriously Dr Brian,
Traitors are never rewarded. That is a historical fact. Why should Sidi and Alfred be singled out?
Jugah was rewarded for supporting Rahman because Kalong was his enemy nombor satu. So did every single Iban who supported Jugah. Jugah was just a jungle VIP who got promoted by the British after Temenggung Koh died in 1956. Koh was the rebel turned elected leader. Bayang was the rebel turned leader.
When was the last time the Iban rebelled against the Gomen and went after the Police Field Force and the Army???
Never. Not once in the 50s nor in the 60s. Do the Iban have the concept of Iban rule? No.
June on November 13th, 2009 10:36 am Uchak CI @ Langgai Tinggang,
I really don’t know what had becoming of you. First PE confirmed that both of you is conning Lebi Impin over a land deal. You received introduction fees but you denied.
Secondly you refused DNA test on the Penan raped incident.If indeed you were not involved why must you be afraid and spending sleepless night blogging?
———————————————-
Why CI @ LT overlooked responding to the above. Maybe it the truth he cannot deny.I do hope after reposting he will come out with 101 excuses.

Dayak Lama and gang,
Care for some manners? This is someone’s ruai you are mingling in.Care to build your own ruai and see how many readers you get?
Dr. John,keep the postings coming as visitors hits are rising by days.
My dear friends,
No point just “tambak blank”, whehther you are paid or not paid. Be the best you can. Be a good Sarawakian. Be a good Malaysian. Don’t just tambak blank. Poor Dr. John is trying his best and to some of you his best is not good enough for you. Hard luck, my friends.
Great, someone said, even the Penans were well cared for. If that is true, well done.
Today people do not live on words alone. Seeing is believing. I like to see a rich penan in Kuching, in Kota Samarahan, in Sri Aman, in Betong, in Sarikei, in Sibu, in Mukah, in Bintulu, in Miri, in Limbang, in Lawas and in Kapit, and so on. Can one been seen in all the major towns I mentioned. How many penans are graduates? How many Penan are doctors, engineers, architects, accountants, or teachers, nurses, or soldiers, airmen, or how are Penas are owning guns? After 46 years of Merdeka, where are they? Of course, we can give all the excuses in the world, what is the use. We failed them. We failed badly. We should shoot ourselves for the failure.
Dr. John, don’t let unreasonable people discourage you. I know they are just jealous of you. How come you can do more for your people than them, they wonder?
Mind you, Dr. John, I am not on your side. I am non-dayak and neutral. I chose the name, “equaliser” as I am neutral.
Thank you, Dr. John.
D.r John, Jesus Christ suffers a lot before he. wins. Just carry on despite the viruses sent by the devils around us.
