One thing that ligering in my mind, why Anwar Ibrahim not ready to conceding to Jeffrey Kittingan’s list of demand if he is really sincere in championing Sabahan & Sarawakian interest?

In Sarawak, we accept the appoinment of Baru Bian-a Lun Bawang as our prospective future CM (God Willing), but hey, don’t us still identify ourself based on own ethnicity. This moved tantamount to Tunku Rahman chosing a Melanau as a proxy to have control over Sarawak. Why not appoint a person of majority ethnic group who is in the same calibre.

To all Sarawak PKR Dayak leaders, this is the golden opportunity to mark up the ante.

Anang bermimpi, TAMBI enda tau sekali kali enggau begulai. URAR……MELIT!!!

Orang Sabah ka bekuasa atas anak SARAWAK??

Tanya orang Sabah kala aki ini, tiris pantis sida nulung pengelikun menoa Sarawak ari kelia nyentuk ka diatu? Ni pemintar, ni pemandai sida??

ANAK SARAWAK kelebih agi ANAK IBAN, abis buntut menoa Sabah di tulung anak IBAN, nulung sida ngalus ke menoa sida, nyaga pengelikun menoa sida. Anang ka megai ngulu ka orang, menoa diri empu suba, diatu pan enda olih di jaga, ka nyaga menoa orang?? Ha….ha…..ha…Nadai jalai orang Sabah ka nyadi pengulu anak Sarawak.

Indah sampai ke diatu, di pegai UMNO/MALAYA di Sabah din, tu nyebut ka megai anak Sarawak..??

Sarawak for Sarawakian ONLY. Never allow TAMBI interfere or enter the COUNTRY of Hornbil.

Sabah and Sarawak members/supporters of PR will remain a minority in the political organisation, almost in the same manner as the supporters of BN.
For that reason: national-level issue such as oil royalty, autonomy, culture, fed funding etc may not get the required attention from the PR collective leadership.Remember that Dr Jeffrey had put it to PKR leadership to recognise the 18-point agreement as precondition for him to stay on in PKR.Todate, there has been no position yet from PKR while some DAP leadership via Tunku Aziz (it maybe his personal views – not the party) had expressed some sympathy for Sabah and Sarawak.I therefore would conclude that, while we should applaud Dr Jeffrey for seeking greater autonomy, PR leadership may not want to grant this key wishes of Sabah and Sarawak – even for the price of ALL of the Parlimentary seats from both states !

If the proposed 3rd national level party is to champion the cause of turning the Malaysian Federation to a Confederate, AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART – and that the party would structure itself along the Confederation model, in that regardless of membership size from each of the 3 regions from Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya,the party leadership will be shared equally by the 3 region – then, the proposed new party would be a game changer in Malaysian politic – and should garner support in Sabah and Sarawak (for people who understand the implication).

The question is whether such a Confederate political party can exist in a Federated structure.Also, realistically – who in Peninsula Malaysia would support the party in large numbers and to give equal decision-making powers to the presumably minority members from Sabah and Sarawak ? Sabah and Sarawak will have to offer a grand bargain – for the Peninsula folks to be interested !

If the purpose of the so-called 3rd force is to be the refuge of all minorities,civic groups and NGOs, it will still not be able to stand on its own – and will need to be a coalition partner with PR or BN. Which is to say – going back to square one.

In conclusion: for the moment, the PR members of Sabah and Sarawak should stake a common position and then to seek written support from PR leadership example on the issue of oil royalty. If the answer is a firm NO, or non-committal – then there maybe no choice but to form a new Confederate (Sabah,Sarawak,Malaya) party as outlined and then to seek out support from the Malaysian public through a new grand bargain, or Social Contract.In another word, the idea of forming a 3rd political party, is only a last resort – and has to be tempered against the unintended consequence of undermining PR capacity to compete with BN.

“You give people a third choice and you will see PR’s votes split. BN will win, with a landslide. Hindraf is doing exactly what BN wants, which is to not cooperate with PR. It doesn’t matter if Hindraf is working against BN. BN doesn’t need Hindraf to be on its side to serve its purpose of remaining dominant over PR.

BN does not give a hoot about the marginalised communities.

Makes you wonder whether Hindraf really has become a tool of BN. “

they have their own agenda,problem,culture,look,shape and everything. ain’t 46years with or under them is not enough.

equaliser is write when he said, “…Can we trust the minorities of Malaya to fight for Sarawakians and Sabahans and form a party to last? The answer is a BIG no. The divide is too wide and the culture a world apart. ” i don’t see any disability in his statemaents.

it is us, you and me, the doc tune of guitar is right lately, DB & DL have to be united in fighting the promising battle in the next GE.
sabah is also in the same u-boat/fate with us.

what third force? are we copycat the MCA fued? if that is fail, then fourth force,then 5th force?

wake-up chap! the battle change we must offensive is calling for you. and we will be fighting in GE until the very last gun is still fire!

1. Sabah and Sarawak Head of Governnment Administration is Chief Minister which is having the same economic authority level with Chief Minister/MB of all ther States in Malaya.

2. All Chief Minister/MB(inclding Sabah and Sarawak) are reporting to Prime Minister of Malaya NOT Malaysia.

3. Priorities for Prime Minister of Malaya are of course Malaya’s Agenda.

Lee Kuan Yew wanted Singapore to have its own Prime Minister, but Tungku refused and this led to Singapore leaving Malaysia. LKY saw the implication if Singapore head of Administration as CM as the position would be reporting to PM of Malaya and therefore it had to comply with Malaya’s agenda. So inspite of all the neotiation Malaya refused and Singapore left. Sarawak and Sabah did not fully understand the impact and so remained in Malaysia.

So friends, shall we revive back Sarawak and Sabah to have their own Prime Minister and report to Prime Minister General of Malaysia or remain statu quo and live with the HANDOUTS from Prime Minister of Malaya????? All Sabah and Sarawak people must think about this if we want chang to us

In Malaysia, the natives of Sarawak and Sabah are minorities. In Sarawak and Sabah the natives are the majorities.

Who should fight for the minorities? A third force? No, the third force can’t stand the fight and will crumble before it starts, besides it will not last.

The fight for the natives in Sarawak and Sabah must be the natives themselves with their fellow-Sarawakians and Sabahans as collaborators and partners. Just develop an excellent agreement based on justice and equality to bind themselves together.

Can we trust the minorities of Malaya to fight for Sarawakians and Sabahans and form a party to last? The answer is a BIG no. The divide is too wide and the culture a world apart.

The losers will be the natives of Sarawak and Sabah by alienating their own Sarawakians and Sabahans of other racial groups and losing their hopes of having their own Chief Ministers. Fear and betrayal might be created among own people.

The above reasons are good enough to dismiss the idea of the third force.

No disrespect to the minorities of Malaya.

The natives of Sarawak and Sabah must be as cautious as a virgin and as smart as a mouse-deer.

God keep Sarawak and Sabah safe.
