Malaysia is made up of 3 countries as equal partner
Written by Dr. John Brian Anthony
There is no 13 States in Malaysia
There are 11 Federated Malay States in Malaya. Sabah and Sarawak are NOT in the same category of Malacca, Johore, Selangor etc. Sabah and Sabah are independent countries before forming Malaysia.
Who says that there was no agreement when Malaysia was formed? Do you really think that Sabah and Sarawak are so silly so as to form Malaysia without an agreement. Most people in Malaya ( i will not refer to Malaya as West Malaysia anymore from now on) were told lies in school and wrong facts of history to create the impression that Sabah and Sarawak are of the same status as the Malay State.
Are WE in TWO Malaysia?
I was on a flight today and sitting besides a “senior Malay” Civil servant in a plane from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur. He told me he did not understand why he needed passport to enter Sarawak – are WE two Malaysia – he asked.
My response was immediate – we are Malaysian BUT in Malaysia there are 3 countries as equal partners. He seems taken aback – and he asked me “how come?”. I told him Sabah and Sarawak are not States but countries, and we made agreement when we formed Malaysia. One of the agreement is that Sarawak and Sabah has control over immigration.
Is there such an agreement? he again asked me. My reply is, if there is no agreement why do you think that you have to use travel document to enter Sarawak? He said “Sarawak is part of Malaysia”. I said YES – without Sarawak and Sabah there is NO Malaysia. We have an agreement known as the 18 -20 points.
How do you feel about 1 Malaysia? he asked.
That is a good question I said. We do not have 1 Malaysia. He asked “Are you serious?. I said calmly “YES”.
The reasons are many. I am a Native of Sarawak, my rights is enshrine in the constitution. If that is so, why are we NOT given quota in the civil service, in the armed forces, in the NEP? Why are we Dayak treated like second class citizen?
Then he said the most shocking of things – “you are not a Muslim, how can you be bumiputera?”. Now I know why the Natives of Sabah and Sarawak are not as considered “bumiputera” because we are not Muslim and without a “bin” in our name by some people in the civil service. If we are denied our rights by civil servants and the civil service is made up of almost “one race” can we truely be 1 Malaysia.
Have you heard or know about PKR ( Parti KeADILan Rakyat) he asked again.
In truth I said “YES”. “What is it that you want to know?” I asked him. He wanted to know whether PKR is well accepted by the people of Sarawak. Honestly, I have never made any study or even try to understand whether PKR is acceptable to Sarawak people or by how many % of the population etc. What i told him was not about Sarawak accepting PKR but really the issue is beyond politics. Without PKR, marginalized Sarawakian will still challenge the BN government. I narrated to him a few examples:
1. “Allah Taala” is beyond politics.
2. NCL / NCR Land grabbing by the government in Sarawak is a sure way to keep the Dayak poor in the future
3. Low participation in the civil service will be detrimental to non-Malays
4. Lack of basic amenities (clean water and electricity and health services) is beyond politics
5. High incidences of “hard core poor” in Sabah and Sarawak is beyond politics
6. The issuance of real MyKAD to immigrants who are Muslim in Sabah and Sarawak are products of politics
7. Not recognizing the existence of the 20 -18 point agreement is a cheat
8. Ketuanan Melayu ideology is not politics it is the genocide of non Malays etc.
9. High incidences of corruption in the government show a flaw in character and culture of those in government. They want to get rich quick and sell the country to the dogs.
10. ( he told me he wanted to go to the toilet). My guessed was he cannot take the feedback I gave him. So i said to myself, if he comes back and sit beside me again after visiting the toilet he is an honest guy. If he sits somewhere else, he is just another Malay in the civil service who would not want to learn and accept feedback on the state of democracy and rights in Malaysia, he would be just another agent of ketuanan Melayu.
He sat 2 seats in front of me when he came back from the toilet. However he was cultured enough to tell me that he wanted to take a nap because he was very tired.
Conclusion
Malaya do not see and treat us from Sabah and Sarawak as their equal. The Federal government wanted to take away everything from us and impose all their whims and fancies on us – that is we should not ask any question and we should not show that we have the ability to think of what we want, how we want it and when do we need it.
But ignoring the 20 -18 points agreement is beyond politics. I would not like to see my Dayak community disappear into poverty as a result of a few Dayak politicians who sell themselves out to a “one race” agenda.

Inspirational word from gkm2020
DR. your short lecture could have made him piss in his pants. Had he not taken the two seats in front, you could have hijacked the plane to Zimbabwe and lectured him all the way and then drop him there. Let him taste Ketuanan Mugabe!
[...] from: Malaysia is made up of 3 countries as equal partner : Dr. John … Share and [...]
May be we go back to 60s and 70s when the people of Sarawak used to call West Malaysians “Orang Malaya”.
Stupid government servant. The constitution does not say a `bumiputera` must be a muslim. Are our dayak BN elected representatives agree to that claim?
Dr. John Brian, perhaps he was cornered, thinking that you are `cawat` mentality Iban.
Dr. John,
You have given him good feedbacks. People from Malaya are fed with the wrong facts of history of the formation of our country. I hope that he will share your feedbacks with his friends in the govt when he come back to Malaya.
The above incident mirrored the Malayan Malay perception about Sabah and Sarawak, or Dayaks if you want it.In Malaya,UMNO knows that if they garnered majority support from Malays every elections,they remain TUAN.They have access to all govt systems in Malaysia and they knew that, and used it to their benefits.We have to acknowledge that UMNO is still strong, however weak it looks.Filipino Sabahan ‘Malays’ has made them grown multiple in numbers in over a decade.That’s just one of their ‘tricks’.
Dayaks fight for self-empowerment is a long JOURNEY but the BATTLE has STARTED.
BUT FIGHT WE MUST!
In the name of law and greed, facts can always be fake.
Anwar cannot bring changes in Sarawak because changes can only exist and begin within us.
Anecdote like this makes good reading, and expose the truth, without pontificating it.
The essense of the Malaysia Agreement which accorded EQUAL status to 3 countries under the Malaysian Federation would have far reaching ramification to politics, social, economy, education, and culture of Malaysians.
Example: think about the public policy corrections that can be implemented – if its based on the “new found” principles of Equality according to the Malaysia Agreement.I have a flood-gates of ideas, but I’m sure – so do you.
The opposite of granting Equality to 3 different countries under the Federation, is the present setup that attempt to impose cultural hegemony on Sabah and Sarawak, so that they too will eventually morph into one of the Federated Malay States, in the guise of nation building. Besides,the numerous public policy errors that were made without due consideration to the fact that Sabah and Sarawak is distinct from West Malaysia, would be enought to make a doctoral thesis.
I hope active politicians in East Malaysia would undertake to study the Malaysia Agreement,and to champion its better alternative to the present social compact between East and West Malaysia.
Dayak thinker
After 47 years of independence we Sarawak people cannot changes ourselves.Do we’ve to wait for another 47 years? And at that time when we understand what changes is all about,The others already 47 years ahead of us.
Of course Anwar cannot change sarawak but together,WE, Anwar and Pakatan can change Sarawak.
At the moment I don’t think that we’ve a choice but to row the pakatan boat to get a fair shares of power to change Sarawak.
Draw your imagination, dream and plan.From there you can see what will happen in the future.
Now not only Dayaks are divided(make us so weak that we cannot defend our long house bieng demolished)Malay,Chinese and Indian are all divided.
When they are divided they are weak like us and now is the time for us to changes and strike.
If you can see what happen in your dream you can see what happen in the future.Malay will not be united again.know why? ….VENGEANCE…DARAH MESTI DIBAYAR DENGAN DARAH.so be a good batu api..vote for pakatan.
Don’t listen to the promise made by MJC(Durian Runtuh but Rumah nyawai also Runtuh)that is for short term gain.
What we all want is an independence Sarawak.
WE WANT TO GET BACK WHAT BELONG TO US AND WE NEVER ASK AN INCH OF MALAYA LAND.
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
THIS LAND IS MY LAND
THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.
LETS SING TOGETHER BRO.
PENGUNDI PINTAR
Thanks a lot for the responses. We are changing. I can see that and I am doing that through my words and actions. I am the son of ex-PBDS fighter. I will always fight for our recognition. I am doing my part. Together we play our parts. Cheer bro.
DAYAK THINKER
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU’RE THE BEST AMONGST THE BEST.
When WE are united and strong BIG or HEAVY problems can be solved with ease.UNITY should be the key word so let us get started without further delay.
UNITE WE CAN & CHANGE WE CAN.

Are you will with me or Not? Aku nadai takut ka UMNO-Malaya agi. Bangkai sida UMNO Raya!!!
AGI IDUP – AGI NGELABAN; KITU MEH ENTI BERANI!!
Please noted this:
BN Policy can be concluded as follows:
1. On Plantation = BN target more than 1million hectars of NCR Land,
2. On Dam = BN will build 12 Dam (unofficial = 52 Dams)until 2030 (if we continue to put them in power)this will submerged NCR Lands
3. On deforestation = BN target more than 1million hectas of NCR Land.
Effect of all this BN policy is DAYAK NCR Land will be robbed.
As long as BN is put in power INNOCENT Supporters, BN will rob our land!
Equal to : HARAPKAN PAGAR, PAGAR MAKAN PADI.
Correction :
As long as BN is put in power by INNOCENT Supporters, BN will continue to rob our NCR land until nothing left!
NDA SABAR AKU KA MEDA MENUA SARAWAK BAKA MENUA SINGAPORE!!!!!
PENGAWA BAKA TU BARU TAI PATUT DI SOKONG BALA KITAI MAYUH ARR!!!!
Dr,
I suppose you vave mentioned it a few times but today I really could grasp what you mean – the formation of Malaysia actually consists of four different countries, Malaya, Singapore,North Borneo and Sarawak.
Our resources, development and progress then had never been subject to any kind of control by Malaya. Sarawak was a country. It was never declared as a state like what most people it is nowadays.
Had Sarawak not been duped by Jugah,as adised by Sidi Munan, to form Malaysia, we could have been an soverign country. It is mcuh similar to Singapore after it pulled out from the Federation.
Sarawak could have determined its own progress and development. And going by the fast pace of development since the introduction of New Concept of Development, and had our funds not been chanelled to Kuala Lumpur for the PM to decide, with royalties from oil and gas and timber resources, Sarawak as a country could be very developed nation.
Perhaps it is timely for the Ibans to ask for the Federal Government to honour the terms in 18/20 point agreement when forming Malaysia some 46 years ago. Malaya has truly forgotten about the contents in the said agreement that they dare to decide what is good and bad for Sarawak.
I concur with Dr JBA that Sarawakians shall not call the people from Peninsular Malaysia as West Malaysians. Instead, we must call them MAlAYANS coming from MALAYA which consisted of several Malay states. Yes, we should turm back the clock to the 60s and 70s in which the Sarawakians actually called them the MALAYANS.
CHANGE WE MUST as now the Ibans are NOWHERE!
Cheers…

Amat stuju aku ngau Dr. John Brian, as I know there was not included in our silybus in our history book for secondary school,so they tried to make us believed that we joined Malaysia just to escape from British empayar,but maybe Sarawak are more develope if we still under British Colony, whose know??? so I my opinion here it seem thats the central goverment tried to hide it from our youngster including myself.But they aspected that their secret will be known…so now we need to be more stric with the 18 agreements…
amat stuju magen aku ngau pendapat sidak gkm2020,anakmit,ibantatau..
atik itai pansut ari malaysia..maju gik kitai..kitai mayuh hasil galian..gas and minyak..arap ka generasi kitai diatok sama2 berusaha ka merialisasikan utai tok…
Merakat is back again after long absent.
Dr….please continue on with this topic. I have metioned it few time in my earler comments but in response to comments from some moron like John Toilet Jamban, DEO and BN supporters.
I just wonder whether they(John Toilet, etc) had any simple knowledge on mathematics as to know the difference between 3 partners and one of the 13 states in Malaysia
Drum more of this as we will sure have very strong support from our Sarawak Chinese and Malays friends of course not the BN supporters.
3 PARTNERS NOT ONE of the 13 States. Sarawak BN supporters get this into your dummy heads
I did experience the same situation.I managed to gave this 45 years old Malayan guy lectured about the Formation of Malaysia in 1963..(That was probaly his Bad Day indeed)
He was SHOCKED when he came to know about the 18&20 Point of Agreement and also when i EXPLAINED to him that Sabah and Sarawak were indeed 2 different country and not one of the states in Malaysia.He did conmplaining about the imigration control since he is married to a Sarawakian and i have to explained in details to him on why the Malayan people need to use passport to enter Sabah&Sarawak.
Based on my observation and experience,majorities of the Malayan people know NOTHING about the 18&20 Point of agreement and even our own Sarawakians for God sake!!!We could do a random survey among Sarawakians and i wouldnt be suprised at all if the maybe just 20% of us know the EXISTANCE of the 20/18 Point of Agreement
Federation of Malaysia was form with Sabah&Sarawak TOGETHER with Malaya and Singapore 1n 16th September 1963.It means that we are an EQUAL PARTNER and we are a SEPARATE ENTITY in the spirit of Federalism.This is why the 20/18 Point of Agreement was drafted to SAFEGUARD us(Sabah&Sarawak)But now,we have ended up with being one of the states in Malaysia.
Why?It is very simple,because the 20/18 Point of Agreement has been eroded either being ammended or axed from time to time for their Political Agenda and not to mention the Federal Constitution itself.In fact,this 20/18 Point of Agreement were such a “Sacred Promise” to us by the Malayan Government prior to the formation of Malaysia.From Colonism to Federalism,and from Federalism?we are now were under Imperialism of Malaya
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
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
Federal Constitution:
Article 11
Though Islam is the religion of the Federation, Article 11 provides that every person has the right to profess and practice his own religion. Every person has the right to propagate his religion, but state law and, in respect of the Federal Territory, federal law may control or restrict the propagation of any religion, doctrine or belief among persons professing the Muslim religion. There is, however, freedom to carry on missionary work among non-Muslims.
But yet,the Allah issue has prove that there are “some” parties who are above the Law and Constitutionand showing disrespect to the Agreement for the sake of their Political Agenda
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
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 (Sabah) was of course essential.
Is there any NEW Document being drafted prior formation of Federation Of Malaysia as in the Agreement?
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
Point 8: Borneanisation
Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.
From what we see today,there is no such thing as Borneonisation but more to Malayanisation of Borneo
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
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.
In laymen terms,i believe we can called it an Autonomous Power to control over those matter which has been stipulated.But are we?
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
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
Are we?Perhaps maybe we are 3rd Class Bumiputra here in Sarawak and we have been marginalised for so long.It seems like there are 2 categories of Bumiputra which is:
1.Muslim Bumiputra
2.Non Muslim Bumiputra
It clearly stipulated in the 18/20 Point of Agreement that:
Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament
This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its seize and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore
With 31 Parliamentary seats in Sarawak and 25 in Sabah make up total of 56 out of 222 Parliamentary seats in total?
Is it a Grave MISTAKE for us to form the Federation Of Malaysia together with Sabah,Singapore and Malaya in 1963??
Pengayau,
“grave MISTAKE”…..yes, I strongly believe it was. I remember my late uncle who was a Pemenca at that time was somehow bribed to accept Malaysia formation even though most kampung folks were not in favour of Malaysia. My late uncle was taken to Malaya so as to convince him to accept the formation of Malaysia. Nobody knew what they did there but when he came back, he changed his stand. My uncle was illtrate but quite smart.
Any way contractually Sarawak can bring the case to INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE and demand session on the ground that Malaya does no hnour 18/20 point agreement even though in the agreement there should not be any session from any parties in the agreement. There is no such thing that we should take the case through the Parlaimentary. If we go to Parlaiment, the issue will be thrown outright as Sabah/Sarawak account not even 50% of the total number of MPs.
I agree with Dr JBA the issue is more than politics. Why don’t we raise fund and take our case to International Court? I don’t mind contributing for this purpose. I am sure our Sarawak Chinese & Malay friends will support us on this.
Let’s go to resolve the main root causes of all other injustice to Sabah/Sarawak. As long as we are still in Malaysia, we shall still be in the same situation as now.
At least Malaysia is one of the most peaceful country to live in as compare to the countries in the Middle East.
If I am not mistaken, a veteran Sarawak politician was arrested under ISA before when he uttered words to get Sarawak out of Malaysia.
The spirited debate and discussion of the subject shows the rising political awareness of Sarawak people which cannot be taken for granted by the powers that be anymore.
To regain healthy balance (if it ever existed you may refute), Sarawak people must use their current
“King-maker” role as to who should rule at PutraJaya, to the fullest.
It is our duty to read as much of the history of Sarawak, not only back to 1963 but to 1841 when an entity of Sarawak came into being, or even earlier.
There is still a future for all Sarawak people to make, based on freedom, equality and social justice for all.
Hidup Dayak Baru!

…………………………………………..
Koklir,
It is clear to us that you who actually talk too much instead. Just like a bloke who sed to call himself JUNE.
Well some doe not mean a total loss. Fight and oppose when necessary we shall continue till we manage to get rid of someone like you, Koklir.
Cheers…
Tuai Rumah,
Good sharing. Calling orang Semenanjung orang Malaya is always in my mind.
I am very convinient to say them Melayu Malaya, Cina Malaya, Tambi Melaya, Cikgu Malaya, Police Malaya, Indu Malaya, barang ari Malaya and so on.
Its always remind me that Sarawak is not independent yet but being colonized by Perintah Malaya and Dayak are being discriminated by orang Malaya.
Nothing to hide, afraid or shame to call them orang Malaya until the situation is change. It is reality.
The revisit of Borneo Forum to Landon will give young generation more clear on all of this.
Koklir,
Why dont you just spend your PRECIOUS time with your family or loved ones instead of keep on trying to provoke us here at DayakBaru?
Did you get paid for all provocations which being made by you and the rest of DayakLama Ad Hoc Commitee?
What have you done and what have you contribute to our Dayak Comunity?
What do you gain from provocating us here at Dayak Baru?
Shame on you my friend,Shame of you..But whatever it is,the doors is alwasy open for you to stop being a Koklir and turn into a real Human Being
Ps:How long you have been a Koklir?
Sir..
18/20 points NADAI LALU diajar ba subject LAN ka wajib dipelajar anembiak U. Ba bup reference ti dipeda ku sepintas lalu langsung nadai. Mayuh dah kedai bup ba Kuching ti dipeda ku, ka bisi nyual bup sejarah malaysia nadai nulis tauka nerang pasal nya. Enti bisi, semina mimit aja. Nadai penerang ti kelalu dalam.
