Sabah Sarawak Union - United Kingdom

PAPAR, July 22 ― Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reminded Umno members and the people of Sabah not to be influenced by an attempt by outsiders to “Brexit” Sabah from Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN).

Ahmad Zahid said the action of these outsiders, including former state and national Umno leaders, is wrong and could have a negative impact on the people and the state of Sabah.

“If there are people from outside or those who used to be in BN, who tried to get the Sabahans out of the Umno and BN ring, they are wrong,” he said when opening the Umno Zone Three delegates conference at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bongawan near here today.

Also present were Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman; Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman, who is also Kimani Umno chief; Papar Umno chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Ismail and Beaufort Umno chief Datuk Isnin Aliasni.

Brexit is an abbreviation for “British exit”, referring to the United Kingdom’s decision in a June 23, 2016 referendum to leave the European Union (EU).

Ahmad Zahid said some of the Brexit voters had regretted their move because the results were not as good as they had hoped for.

“Sabah does not want to be Malaysia’s ‘Brexit’. Sabah does not want BN and Umno to lose. Not the leaders who have to deal with the consequences but the people,” he said.

If Sabah leaves Umno and BN, the risk is too high as what some previous state governments had faced when they set up governments that were not in line with the federal government, he said.

Hence, he said the current political situation in Sabah, in which there is a power-sharing among BN component parties, should be continued for political stability, even though the state legislative assembly seats would later be increased from 60 to 73.

“I hope our friends in BN will not put pressure on the chief minister. We hope that our friends in BN will negotiate accordingly. The important thing is not the allocation of seats but that Umno and BN can rule comfortably in Sabah,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid is confident that the Umno-led BN government would be maintained despite the additional state seats because a study by the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in 2016 revealed that 76 per cent of Sabahans still wanted BN to continue the agenda to develop Sabah.

In fact, he said the research also showed that 71.2 per cent of the Sabahans had regarded that BN had  successfully transformed Sabah which proved that they still wanted Umno and BN to govern Sabah.

He also reminded Umno members and the people in Sabah to learn from the Tanduo incident in Lahad Datu and the militant attacks in Marawi, southern Philippines, to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Home Minister, said he would strengthen the Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) to ensure that the safety and stability of Sabah were preserved.

“The biggest idol of my life – besides my father – is Fidel Castro. He may be a communist, but I respect the fact that he stood for the principles he believed in” – TMJ

Tunku Ismail ibni Sultan Ibrahim has a certain cut of confidence in him. Some say it stems from his royal stature. Some others suggest that he’s naturally arrogant. But isn’t that what they always say about anyone with untempered and radical ideas? Most Malaysians grow up in an environment where there was a generational hatred towards local football – and they all stemmed from our consistent failures on the biggest stage. And yes, match-fixing (No, I didn’t forget that). If not hatred, it’s skepticism. It’s part of our identity to continuously shed skeptic comments or thoughts on our own products.

And you can’t blame the fans either. For a country that only got its’ independence in 1957, we’re still trying to define an identity for ourselves. The lack of identity always meant that while great emphasis would be placed on the pursuit of success, mediocrity would latch onto it and become normalized as well, be it in studies, sports or even politics for that matter.

But then came Tunku, who literally grabbed Johor FA by its throat, and shoved significant reforms down. Three years later, a team that once had less than 100 people attend its’ home games, is now the reigning Malaysia Super League champion for two consecutive years. And they recently made history by being the first Malaysian team to ever progress into the semis of the AFC Cup.

They’ve got the best pitch in Southeast Asia. The players have rave reviews about the sort of training facilities that are made available for them, including the anti-gravity treadmill! Everyone within the club’s structure, is treated well and their salaries are paid on time. And they’ve been able to sign some of the biggest names in world football (Dani Guiza and Pablo Aimar), notwithstanding the fact that they’ve got most of Malaysia’s best players in their squad.

They recently kickstarted a comprehensive youth development program, which is being tailored by individuals that have been brought in from Borussia Dortmund. Best part? Tunku is set to meet leaders to Barcelona and Paris St. Germain later this year, to initiate similar collaborations.

Who on earth is this guy, and how is he even doing this? Absolutely stupendous.

So when I was informed that my proposal for an interview with Tunku was approved, I was naturally elated. The general populace’s interpretation of him has generally been muddled, all this while. To some, particularly Johoreans, Tunku is a revolutionary saviour who is now the indubitable voice of the people. But to others, he’s just an attention-seeking member of the royal family, who is using sports as a direct mean to amass significant political capital and mobility. But Tunku’s brutal honesty was inadvertently refreshing.

“Johor isn’t just about football. It’s beyond that. It’s a tool for uniting people and bridging the gap of racism and segregation within society. So, I’m perfectly fine if people think I’m using JDT as a political tool, as that’s precisely what I’m doing. I’ve got nothing to hide,” he said, with a casual smirk on his face.

His radical statements and gung-ho approach didn’t go too well with senior politicians within the country, particularly those sitting in executive seats within Football Association of Malaysia. He’s too young, some would say, to blatantly shift the focus away from their own misgivings. It’s not surprising really, judging by our inability to muster respect for individuals, without taking their age into consideration. “Don’t judge me by my age, judge me for my qualification and the actual merit of my statements.”

Truth be told though, credibility shouldn’t even be at the forefront of this discussion. Tunku received his secondary education at the Australian International School in Singapore, before moving on to complete his tertiary education at the Hale School in Perth. But it didn’t just stop there. It was customary for the eldest son of the Johor royal family to receive military training, and Tunku was enlisted into the Indian Military Academy as a cadet officer. Just like every other regular newbie, Tunku has big reservations about his new life at that point.

“I was scared, definitely!,” he chuckled. “It was a family tradition, and I had to be a part of it, so eventually I came to terms with it. Because at some point, I will need to be in charge of the Johor Military Force (JMF) so I figured this training would prepare me adequately for that responsibility.”

He became a captain in 2007 and eventually emerged as the first foreigner to spearhead a unit of the Indian Army during India’s Republic Day Parade, in front of President Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam as well as Russia’s Vladimir Putin – a history moment that was also witnessed by his proud father, Sultan Ibrahim, who flew in to India specifically for this event. The entire experience of military life in India, turned him into the revisionist individual he is today.

In fact, he brought that exact revisionist attitude alongside him, as he embarked on a journey to revitalize Johor football. At the end of 2012, Tunku took over Johor FA and went on a cleansing spree, completely changing the staff and personnel that existed within the organization. No holds were barred, it was ruthless change from the get go. There was however, a unique bit of novelty, behind his uncompromising approach.

“I used to know someone in the Johor FA, who would frequently drop by to watch my Polo sessions, and he’d always ask me to step in and takeover the organization. He used to do it so often, claiming that corruption is ruining football in the state. At that point in my life, I was looking to step up and bring tangible changes for the people of my land, so I went to watch one of the MSL games involving Johor FA at the Pasir Gudang Stadium. There was barely anyone there, and I thought to myself, what’s going on? Because the Johor I remember watching with my family in the 90s, had a lot more support.

“That night, I told myself that I was going to change the face of Johor football. The next day, I had a meeting with the Johor FA people and I told every single one of them to clear the office and leave. It needed a fresh start and I wasn’t going to let corrupted individuals halt it.”

First thing he did upon taking charge was unifying the various clubs under JFA (Johor FA, Johor FC, MP Muar) and producing a singular identity for the state – Johor Darul Ta’azim, also known as JDT. A marketing division was established, and focus was shifted on revamping the squad. His involvement attracted a myriad of sponsors and investors, which then allowed JDT to compete for the best players within the country. The term ‘Malaysian money bags’ was coined for JDT as they rampaged through nationwide hunt, signing the likes of Safiq Rahim, Safee Sali and even Dani Guiza – which effectively sent shockwaves around the country as JDT flexed its’ financial muscle for the inaugural time.

They were also smart enough to know that success was never going to be short-term, and they barely had any tangible target for 2013, though JDT did eventually reach the FA Cup final, before narrowly losing to Kelantan 0-1. The Southern Tigers also finished third on the league table, with their causeway rival LionsXII sealing the title. That very year, the JOHOR Southern Tigers page on Facebook, uploaded a graphic featuring a quote from Tunku himself: “2013 was practice, 2014 will be warm-up and 2015 will be game time.” It was designed to send shivers down ever JDT fans’ spine. So what came in the aftermath of 2013, almost looked scripted. They went on to clinch the 2014 Malaysia Super League title, became Malaysia Cup finalists and marched into the semis of the FA Cup. Qualification into the AFC Cup was also secured – and to date, that was the sweetest success for the man himself.

“We’re into the semis of the AFC Cup this year and that’s incredible. But I won’t forget the moment we qualified for the AFC Cup last year. That was an important milestone in our long-term mission.

“When I first took over JDT, my goal was to create history. And history isn’t only created by winning trophies, it’s also by letting the world know of your existence, it’s also about having world-class facilities and being a world-class organization. As much as we wanted to do well in Malaysia, AFC Cup was always the priority, because it’s continental and it’s the best way to measure yourself against better teams and better players.

But in the midst of all the groundbreaking transformation that JDT has gone through since 2012, the biggest change would be Tunku’s initiative of getting fans more involved with the club. He’s had regular dialogue sessions with various JDT fan clubs. And that’s something he’s not limiting to Johor DT alone. Prior to my appointment with him, Tunku held an open dialogue session at the Larkin Stadium with fans from across Malaysia dropping by to openly discuss ways in which the Football Association of Malaysia needs to buck up.

There was one notable moment which left a lasting impression on everyone. An hour or so into the dialogue, a representative of Ultras Malaya stood up asking for suggestions on alternative ways in which they can voice out their frustrations, after they were made to look like scapegoats in the aftermath of their ‘flare-throwing’ incident during Malaysia’s World Cup qualifying tie against Saudi Arabia last month. Tunku’s response was succinct but powerful: “Let me represent you. Let me represent every single one of you, and I’ll mediate and express all your concerns to them.” A mighty roar of applause drowned the media room, almost immediately.”

Did he genuinely mean what he uttered? Or was it merely a calculated statement with underlying political intentions? It didn’t matter really, because his barrage of factual and intellectual attacks towards FAM validated people’s trust in him. There’s a difference between rage and dissent – TMJ’s statements (in recent times, at least), personified the latter. But despite all of these, I still posed the controversial question to him. “Are you using FAM’s failures to get the people on your side?” Yet again, his brutal honesty prevailed.

“Some may say I’m doing it for the people. Yes, that’s partially true. But I’m also voicing out my opinion, because FAM have been making wrong decisions. Why would you appoint a national team coach that has a history of match-fixing? Why does FAM need up to 40% of the money that will be injected by MP & Silva next year? How can the FAM President suggest that he was not part of the decision-making process, with regards to Dollah’s appointment last year?

“My decision to speak out, doesn’t need to be premised upon anyone, even if it is. I’m doing it because I feel it’s the right thing to do. Football doesn’t belong to FAM, it belongs to the affiliates and it belongs to the people. FAM is merely the governing body, nothing more, nothing less. So there needs to be a shift in their leadership.

“Who is going to take charge? I don’t know. People like Tan Sri Annuar Musa and I will always be biased to Kelantan and Johor respectively. Being FAM President would require one to be completely fair in their decision-making process, but I won’t be able to do that. Johor comes first for me, before Malaysia. Khairy Jamaluddin is probably the most suitable candidate, but I don’t think he’ll be keen on going back to FAM either.”

His biasness reflects in the progress that JDT have made over the last three years. They’ve never rested on their laurels – it’s been a relentless pursuit of success from Day One, as they left the rest of Malaysia behind. Today, few clubs in Malaysia can match the financial might of JDT, but barely any of them are as professionally run as JDT are. They have plans in place to send young talents over for training stints with some of Europe’s biggest teams. Construction of a new stadium and a new youth development academy is already in the pipelines. Every single milestone has been converted into a raging desire to continuously grow as a team. All the motivational lines and quotes, pasted across various walls at the Larkin Stadium, remains an impeccable testament to that. This is a man, who doesn’t have the intention of stopping anytime soon.

“In five to ten years from home, hopefully we can compete with Asia’s best. But there’s never a ceiling to this, is there? You can never really stop and say, we are now successful enough. The philosophy is always an ongoing chase, we must never get too comfortable. I’m always telling everyone around the club, the number one hindrance to growth, is laziness and comfort. The day JDT players and staff get comfortable with what they’ve achieved, that’s the day, the club dies.

“But I will not let that happen, and judging by how things are going I don’t think the fans would let that happen as well. In Johor, over the decades and centuries, we’ve always encouraged people to be united and committed to a cause. So politicians may instigate racist sentiments, but the people of Johor will always be racially united and that very unity will go on to become the backbone of this football club.”

PETALING JAYA: Kerajaan Persekutuan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak harus dipersalahkan di atas keretakan hubungan yang berlaku antara Semenanjung dan Sarawak.

Mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, senario yang berlaku sekarang seolah-olah menunjukkan Sarawak bukan sebahagian daripada Malaysia.

“Ia berpunca dari kelemahan Kerajaan Persekutuan,” katanya dalam satu wawancara eksklusif bersama FMT.

Beliau juga mengaku sukar untuk meramalkan siapa yang akan memerintah Sarawak selepas Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) yang dijangka pada Mac ini.

“Saya tidak tahu bagaimana pendapat orang Sarawak. Tetapi kita nampak semakin renggang, dan masing-masing bercakap pasal Sarawak. Seolah-olah Sarawak ini tidak ada dalam Malaysia kerana lebih kepada Sarawak,” ujarnya.

Jika keadaan itu berterusan, Dr Mahathir berkata, negeri-negeri lain akan mempersoalkan mengenai layanan yang diterima terhadap negeri Sarawak.

“Kalau kita macam itu, Johor pula hendak lebih untuk Johor. Jika macam itu, kita akan berpecah. Bila berpecah, negara ini akan hancur,” katanya lagi.

Sejak akhir-akhir ini, kerajaan Sarawak pimpinan Ketua Menteri, Tan Sri Adenan Satem banyak membuat keputusan yang bertentangan dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan seperti mengiktiraf Sijil Peperiksaan Bersepadu (UEC) sebagai syarat untuk berkhidmat dalam perkhidmatan awam di negeri itu.

Selain itu, Adenan enggan mengubah dasar imigresen bagi memelihara keharmonian masyarakat berbilang kaum di negeri itu selain menjadi ketua kerajaan negeri yang paling lantang mengkritik keputusan Kerajaan Persekutuan dan Najib.

1. Mahdzir Khalid sekali lagi menimbulkan kenyataan kontroversi apabila berkata bahawa hanya bangsa Melayu dari Malaya yang layak memegang teraju pemerintahan negara ini dan mendominasi kuasa politik negara.

2. Menteri Pendidikan ini pernah mengeluarkan kenyataan kontroversi yang dikecam hebat apabila mengaitkan laporan Sarawak Report ke atas Najib Tun Razak sebagai usaha yang dirancang oleh agama Yahudi dan Kristian.

3. Kenyataan tidak bertanggungjawab menteri yang baru dilantik tersebut dilihat sangat berbahaya kerana melaga-lagakan bangsa dan penganut agama di negara ini yang boleh mencetuskan perbalahan kaum. Kenyataan ini adalah fitnah dan hasil karya Mahdzir sendiri yang tidak disokong oleh mana-mana bukti; namun sehingga sekarang tidak ada tindakan yang diambil ke atasnya.

4. Ini menyebabkan Mahdzir lebih berani bersuara lantang membelakangkan sumbangan kaum-kaum lain dalam proses pembentukan Malaysia. Mahdzir berkata: “UMNO lah yang membina negara ini dengan bantuan MCA dan MIC”

5. UMNO tidak membina negara Malaysia.

6. UMNO mungkin memberi sumbangan besar ketika Tanah Melayu menuju kepada proses kemerdekaan dari British tetapi bukan instrumental dalam pembentukan Malaysia. Malaysia terbentuk dengan penyertaan Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai negara-negara kongsi yang mempunyai taraf yang sama dengan Tanah Melayu pada ketika itu.

7. Kegagalan Madhzir memahami fakta sejarah ini bukan sahaja menunjukkan bahawa beliau tidak layak menjadi menteri tetapi tidak berhak bersuara membelakangkan sumbangan kaum-kaum lain. Apabila pelampau seperti ini dijadikan Menteri Pendidikan Malaysia, maka masa depan negara ini kelam dan ketegangan kaum bakal tercetus.

8. Keluasan tanah Sabah dan Sarawak adalah lebih besar daripada Malaya. Walaupun hanya 5.7 juta rakyat Malaysia tinggal di Sabah dan Sarawak berbanding 22.5 juta di Malaya, namun Malaysia tidak akan wujud di muka bumi ini tanpa Sabah dan Sarawak. Kekuatan maritim Malaysia tidak akan ke mana tanpa Malaysia timur, dan Malaysia tidak akan semaju hari ini tanpa Sabah & Sarawak.

9. Penduduk berbilang bangsa dan agama dari Sabah & Sarawak berjumlah 5.7 juta orang. Sementara orang Melayu dari Malaya berjumlah 9 juta orang. Bumiputera Sabah & Sarawak mempunyai hak yang sama dengan Melayu.

10. Persoalannya mengapa rakyat bumiputera Sabah & Sarawak harus bertuankan Melayu?

Sebelum ini, Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim mencetuskan kontroversi apabila mengeluarkan surat pekeliling bertitah supaya semua bendera Jalur Gemilang di seluruh Johor diturunkan dan digantikan dengan bendera daerah.

Selepas kehangatan itu semakin sejuk, semalam baginda mencetuskan lagi kontroversi dengan memberi peringatan bahawa Johor dan negeri lain mempunyai hak untuk menarik diri dari Malaysia jika mana-mana terma dalam Perjanjian antara Johor dan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu tidak dipatuhi.

Baginda bertitah demikian dalam satu temu bual dalam laman web sukan FourthOfficial.com.

Menurut Tunku Ismail, kenyataannya mungkin boleh disifatkan berbaur hasutan tetapi baginda lebih bimbang dan mengutamakan rakyat negeri yang terletak di selatan Malaysia itu.

“Saya akan menjadi Sultan pada masa depan dan tanggungjawab utama saya ialah kepada rakyat Johor.

“Malaysia sangat penting kepada saya, tetapi Johor dan JDT keutamaan saya,” titah Tunku Ismail.

Titahnya, rakyat mempunyai hak untuk mengetahu keadaan huru-hara yang berlaku di dalam negara ketika ini dan ia tidak mempunyai kaitan dengan Istana Johor.

“Bertahun kita hidup aman dan bebas.

“Malah, kami hanya menyertai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu, apabila kedua-dua pihak bersetuju dengan beberapa syarat-syarat asas.

“Dan jika mana-mana terma itu dilanggar, kita ada hak untuk menarik diri daripada negara ini.

“Anda boleh menuduh saya menghasut sentimen kenegerian, tapi saya hanya menjalankan tugas saya kepada rakyat Johor, dan mengingatkan mereka tentang sejarah dan warisan tanah yang besar ini,” titahnya.

Pada bulan Jun lepas, adinda Tunku Ismail turut mencetuskan kontroverso apabila memuatnaik tulisan berkaitan perjanjian yang telah dimeterai bersama dengan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.

Dalam status di Instagram yang sudah dipadam antaranya menyebut Johor bersetuju menandatangani perjanjian 1946 itu dengan mengenakan beberapa syarat.

Perjanjian itu termasuk Islam menjadi agama negeri, air dan tanah negeri menjadi hak mutlak Johor serta askar timbalan setia tidak boleh dibubarkan.

Istana Johor sejak beberapa bulan lalu ada beberapa kali membuat kenyataan berbaur sinis dengan menyindir kepimpinan kerajaan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak antara lain meminta kerajaan menyelesaikan segera isu-isu berkaitan ekonomi khususnya berkaitan kejatuhan nilai Ringgit.

Nur Jazlan yang juga merupakan ahli Parlimen Pulai berkata, meskipun beliau menghormati pandangan Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, usaha untuk menyatukan Malaysia tidak seharusnya dipengaruhi sentimen kenegerian kerana ia bakal memberikan kesan kepada keharmonian negara.

“Kita berjaya membentuk sebuah negara sejak beberapa tahun sebelum ini walaupun penjajah beranggapan kita akan gagal kerana latar belakang kepelbagaian etnik dan agama.

“Hidup dengan harmoni adalah sebahagian daripada kebanggaan Malaysia. Jika ia berlaku, (Johor meninggalkan Malaysia), Sabah dan Sarawak juga berkemungkinan akan mengikut jejak langkah yang sama,” katanya dalam kenyataan itu.

Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Ibrahim sebelum ini dilaporkan berkata, semua negeri termasuk Johor mempunyai hak untuk menarik diri daripada Malaysia jika mana-mana terma dalam perjanjian antara Johor dan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu tidak dipatuhi.

If Johor leaves Malaysia, Borneo states Sarawak and Sabah may want to follow suit, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said, The Sunday Star reported today.

Responding to Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, who warned that Johor had every right to secede from the country if any of the terms in the agreement between Johor and the Federation of Malaya were breached, Nur Jazlan said he respected the prince’s personal view.

However, the Pulai lawmaker said 60 years of effort to unite Malaysia should not be hampered by state-based sentiments, which could jeopardise the country’s harmony.

He said the country’s struggle to ensure continuous unity and development should not go in vain, and that Malaysia had proven its former colonisers wrong as the nation had stood united despite racial and cultural differences.

“We have managed to develop as a nation over the years despite our former colonisers predicting that we would fail because of our multi-ethnicity and multi-religious background.

“Living harmoniously is part of Malaysia’s pride. If such a thing happens (Johor secedes), even Sabah and Sarawak might want to follow Johor’s footsteps,” he was quoted as saying in the English daily's report.

It was reported on Friday that during an interview with sports website FourthOfficial.com, Tunku Ismail said his views might be seen as instigating state-based sentiments, but his main concern was the people of Johor.

“I am going to be the future sultan of this state and my main responsibility is towards the people of Johor. Malaysia is important to me, but Johor and JDT will always come first,” he was quoted as saying.

“People deserve to know, that the mess we have in the country right now, should in no way be associated with the Johor royal family. Over the years, we’ve always been strong and independent as well as resourceful. In fact, we only joined the Federation of Malaya, upon both parties agreeing to several basic terms.

“And if any of those terms are breached, we have every right to secede from this country. You can accuse me of instigating state-based sentiments, but to me, I’m merely doing my duty to the people of Johor, and reminding them of the history and heritage behind this great land.”

In June, Tunku Ismail’s younger brother Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim created a stir after he posted a warning that Johor may secede from Malaysia on his Instagram account. The posting has since been deleted. – October 18, 2015.

In June, Tunku Ismail's younger brother Tunku Idris Sultan Ibrahim created a stir after he posted a warning that Johor may secede from Malaysia, on his Instagram account.

In the posting which has since been deleted, the prince said the state joined the Federation in 1946 on a few conditions, including making Islam the religion of the state, Johor's absolute right over its water and land, and the state royalty would be allowed to have its own armed forces.

Tunku Ismail is no stranger to bluntness, having been critical of Putrajaya, along with his father the Johor sultan who recently urged the government to solve the country's economic woes and the declining value of the ringgit.

Several months ago, Tunku Ismail got into a spat with Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz over his criticism of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's non-appearance at the Nothing2Hide forum.

He had also admonished Umno supreme council member Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi for saying relations between the prime minister and the Johor palace were good. Tunku Ismail said Puad should not make statements without knowing what took place.

In the interview with FourthOfficial.com, where Tunku Ismail had mostly talked about football, the Johor team Southern Tigers and his plans for the sport, the crown prince listed his father and former Cuban president Fidel Castro as his idols.

"He may be a communist, but I respect the fact that he stood for the principles he believed in," the crown prince said, referring to Castro. – October 16, 2015.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — As Putrajaya opens up to greater leeway for Sabah and Sarawak to manage their state affairs, pundits warn that the interests of the people of Borneo may be jeopardised unless there’s a mechanism to check and balance this autonomous power.

Political observers acknowledged that granting autonomy to the two states is in line with what was initially agreed to under the Malaysia Agreement when the country was formed in 1963, but stressed that the erosion of their rights was as much the doing of state leaders as it was the fault of the federal administration.

“The problem is not so much a lack of autonomy. If you compare to other states, relatively Sarawak has autonomy. Of course it has reduced over the years but what have the state leaders been doing to help the ordinary Sarawakians?” said Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Dr , who used the country’s largest state as an example.

Under the 1963 deal, Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore were supposed to have come together as equal partners to form Malaysia.

Singapore, however, set out on its own after just two years, while Sabahans and Sarawakians have long complained that the original pact has not been respected by the federal administration.

Faizal stressed that in the case of Sarawak, state leaders can’t point the finger at their federal counterparts in many of the long-standing problems facing their constituents, such as the matter of native customary rights (NCR) land as it falls squarely under state jurisdiction.

“Who has failed to recognise NCR rights of the people? It’s not federal leaders, it’s the state leaders.

“If they fight for autonomy alone without restructuring the state? Basically that will give state leaders a monopoly over the lives of the people,” he said.

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak’s Dr Arnold Puyok echoed Faizal’s sentiments, stressing that calls for autonomy must come in tandem with an administrative revamp that affords better checks and balances to the powers of state leaders.

“Autonomy yes, but it must be accompanied by a special mechanism to prevent abuse of power. For me, it is autonomy equals accountability,” he said.

Dr Oh Ei Sun of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore was less optimistic of the possibility of structural reform in either state, which he said are afflicted by the “resource curse” where the abundance of natural resources feeds greed.

He noted that if a resource-rich state continues to suffer a “lack of democracy”, corruption is unavoidable regardless of whether it is federally ruled or an autonomous region.

“But the opportunity to push for autonomy doesn’t come by often, so they should grab it whenever plausible!” he said.

Despite the clamour for autonomy by Sabahans and Sarawakians, Faizal pointed out that the onus falls on the people of the two states to keep a level head and make sure their leaders agree to be held to account when the time comes.

“People have gotten emotionally caught up in fighting for it, but I would argue that people overlook a lot of fundamental problems.

“When emotion takes over reason, people don’t see the bigger picture,” he said.

They said instead, statutory declarations (SD) from majority elected representatives to remove the government was constitutional as declared by the highest court of the land in 2010.

Lawyer Edmund Bon said a five-man Federal Court bench led by current Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria had approved this procedure in the Perak case of Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin versus Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir.

Barisan Nasional (BN) had in 2009 submitted 31 SDs from 28 BN assemblymen and 3 opposition representatives who were BN-friendly to convince the ruler of Perak that Nizar, who was then the mentri besar, had lost the majority support of the assemblymen.

  

"The chief political executive (prime minister, mentris besar and chief ministers) can be removed if the appointing authority finds the incumbent no longer enjoys the confidence of the majority," he told The Malaysian Insider.

Bon, who was in the legal team that appeared for Nizar, however, said that most constitutional lawyers and academics was still of the opinion that the better option was to take a vote of no-confidence in the legislature.

He said this in response to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's revelation earlier today that an Umno leader was behind a plot to topple the government with the support of opposition lawmakers.

Zahid, who is also home minister, said he had learned that they were preparing statutory declarations (SDs) ‎to remove the government of Datuk Seri Najib Razak. – August 15, 2015.

Saying the call for secession was “stupid talk,” Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced today that Sabah and Sarawak will be given more autonomy.

Najib said he had instructed chief secretary to the Government Tan Sri Ali Hamsa to thrash out the autonomy details with the state secretaries of the two Borneo states, which will include streamlining of the administration.

“There is too much duplication (in work and decision making processes in state and federal governments).

“I will give the empowerment to Sabah and Sarawak,” he said at the launch of the National month and fly the national flag programme today at Padang Merdeka in Kuching.

He labelled the call for secession “stupid talk”, echoing a sentiment Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said in his address earlier.

The prime minister said the decision of Sarawak's forefathers to become an independent state within Malaysia was apt as it had given Sarawak a lot of benefits like security and economic prosperity

The Sarawak chief minister had raised the question of giving Sarawak more autonomy on decisions to administer the state last June when the prime minister made a trip to Kuching. – August 10, 2015.

The deputy prime minister, on his first official visit to the state since his ministerial elevation 10 days ago, did not name who the disruptive elements are.

Zahid, who is also home minister, said he would use all his powers as the home minister to thwart all attempts at creating a division.

"If there are any groups or individuals who try to divide us, the home ministry will use its full might to break up the attempts," he said at the Hari Raya gathering at the Stadium Perpaduan in Kuching, organised by Rela.

"We won't let anyone come between Kuala Lumpur (Putrajaya) and Sarawak."

The prime minister enjoys a good relationship with Adenan after the Sarawak chief minister gave his undivided support to the embattled prime minister in his two visits to the state in June.

Najib, then under pressure from former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to step down, said he could now better sleep at night with such support.

Zahid said he would also emulate the prime minister by making frequent visits to the state, particularly to the rural areas.

"I was a village boy who used to play in the mud and grew up in a house without electricity.

"I will come to Sarawak more often and I will not come empty-handed," he said.

"There will be something for the rural people." – August 7, 2015.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar memberi amaran kepada penganjur perhimpunan dan perarakan Sarawak for Sarawakians (S4S) supaya membatalkan acara itu yang dijadual diadakan di Kuching pada Rabu "atas sebab-sebab keselamatan dan kemudaratan awam."

"Pihak polis tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengambil tindakan di bawah undang-undang sedia ada terhadap penganjur dan ahli-ahli jawatankuasanya demi menjaga kesejahteraan rakyat dan kedaulatan negara," katanya dalam satu kenyataan media.

Menurut Khalid, biarpun pihak polis sudah dimaklumkan mengenai perhimpunan dan perarakan itu selaras dengan kehendak undang-undang, pihaknya ada maklumat ada pihak merancang mahu menggunakan acara itu untuk membangkitkan sentimen rakyat Sarawak untuk keluar daripada Malaysia.

Kumpulan sama pada April lalu mengadakan tunjuk perasaan di Tebingan Kuching pada hari pertama persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak yang berlangsung di seberang tebingan itu. Mereka kemudian bersurai selepas satu perbincangan dengan pihak polis.

Pada perhimpunan itu juga, kumpulan tersebut mengumumkan rancangan mengadakan perhimpunan dan perarakan di Padang Merdeka pada 22 Julai. Kumpulan itu mendakwa akan menghimpunkan 5,000 warga Sarawak termasuk mereka yang menetap di luar negara.

Sarawak mencapai kemerdekaan pada 22 Julai 1963 sebelum kemudiannya bersama-sama Malaya, Sabah dan Singapura membentuk persekutuan Malaysia.

Media baru-baru ini melaporkan ada usaha sekumpulan aktivis untuk membentuk sebuah parti politik baru di Sarawak yang akan menggunakan slogan Sarawak for Sarawakians menjelang pilihan raya negeri.

Pilihan raya negeri Sarawak dijadual diadakan sebelum Jun 2016.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said although police had received notice of the walk ahead of the 10-day notice period required under the Peaceful Assembly Act, police still wanted the organisers to call off the event in the Sarawak capital.

"Police received information that there are certain parties, which are planning to use the gathering/walk as a platform to incite and evoke the sentiments of Sarawakians to secede from the federation," the top cop said in a statement today.

"This incitement goes against the Federal Constitution. Police will not hesitate to take action under the available laws against organisers and committee members to preserve the well-being of the people and the sovereignty of the country."

The statement also said: "Police would also like to advise the organisers to not continue with the gathering/walk for reasons of security and public order."

The Sarawak for Sarawakians public rally will be held in Kuching this year and organisers had previously said that some 5,000 people from towns such as Miri, Bintulu and Sibu, were expected to attend.

It is being organised by a group of Sarawak nationalists who call themselves Group 722, referring to July 22, the date when Sarawak had gained independence from the British.

The Sarawak Freedom and Independence Walk had begun in 2013 and the leader of the group, Peter John Jaban, vowed to continue organising the walk until their demand for official recognition was met.

“We will continue to do the public walk until they gazette it for the people of Sarawak,” said Jaban of Radio Free Sarawak.

Jaban had also warned overenthusiastic nationalists against carrying placards that implicated or were derogatory to the king and Islam, or uttering racial sentiments or political ideologies.

Calls for Sabah and Sarawak to leave Malaysia have become louder in recent months over a myriad of issues including the inequality between East and West Malaysia and also proposal to introduce the hudud law in Kelantan.

To silence these voices, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has criminalised secession calls under the amendments to the Sedition Act earlier this year. – July 21, 2015.

Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Zainol Samah said the news had been circulating that these groups were out to create unrest in the area and that had forced police to step up security.

‎Police presence at the plaza was heavy since this afternoon, with officers patrolling the area and putting up roadblocks at the roads leading to the mall.

The rumours are believed to be started by supporters of blogger Papagomo who was arrested several days ago for posting false information about a theft at one of the shops in Low Yat Plaza.

It called on supporters of Pekida and Perkasa to gather at Low Yat with weapons in order to voice their displeasure towards the inspector-general of police for apparently siding with the Chinese.

"There is nothing so far. We have beefed up security here because of the rumours," Zainol said.

There was also a Light Strike Force truck stationed about 50m from the mall.

The heightened police presence at Low Yat Plaza in the city centre comes after last weekend's brawl which was allegedly caused by the dissatisfaction of a youth who was accused of stealing a mobile phone from a shop there.

Papagomo, whose real name is Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, was identified as one of those who helped spread messages resulting in a crowd protesting in front of the plaza on Sunday night.

He allegedly uttered five sentences that triggered a racial riot in front of the plaza at about 8.30pm last Sunday.

The gathering turned violent and five people, including journalists, were injured.

Following the incident, police arrested scores of people, including Papagomo, Bagan Umno division chief Datuk Shaikh Hussein and Mohd Ali Baharom, also know as Ali Tinju.

Many of the shops at the lower level at Low Yat Plaza were closed following the incident, but today, business was as usual despite the rumours.

A car jockey‎ at Low Yat told The Malaysian Insider that security around the mall had been tight since the incident but added that there were more police personnel today. – July 18, 2015.

Semasa itu, rumah nenek masih rumah kayu, suasana kampung masih wujud lagi, dan masih kelihatan ayam itik dan lembu di sekeliling rumah.

Tapi itu kira-kira 20 tahun yang lalu. Sekitar tahun 1997, kawasan kampung ini disodok dan dijadikan kawasan perumahan untuk golongan menengah rendah di Kluang.

Sementara itu, orang-orang Kampung Bentong Luar (nama kampung saya) dipindahkan ke satu kawasan perumahan teres di Taman Sri Kluang.

Sejak itu, keluarga saya jarang pulang ke Kluang. Mereka lebih selesa berhari raya di rumah sendiri.

Tetapi tahun ini, saya mengambil keputusan untuk berhari raya di Kluang, walaupun keluarga saya tidak ikut sekali.

Ini kerana saya mahu menziarah kubur arwah nenek saya yang meninggal dua tahun yang lepas.

Biasanya jika saya balik berhari raya di Johor, saya mengelak daripada bercakap tentang politik, kerana saya tahu pegangan politik saya sangat berbeza dengan orang kampung.

Kampung saya ini kubu kuat Umno sejak, hmmm..., entah sejak bila tapi setahu saya ia memang selamanya kubu Umno.

Tetapi kali ini orang kampung saya melihat pemerintahan Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang lembik dan teruk, selain faktor GST yang membuatkan mereka marah, banyak isu-isu panas yang gagal diuruskan oleh pentadbiran Najib.

Tapi dalam masa sama mereka kurang percaya yang Pakatan Rakyat boleh jadi kerajaan persekutuan yang baik.

Sebaliknya, mereka melihat satu alternatif yang lain – Johor keluar dari Malaysia dan membentuk sebuah negara sendiri, seperti Brunei Darussalam, mungkin.

Pada kali pertama saya mendengar perkara ini, saya tergelak perkara ini kerana benda ini agak mengarut.

Tetapi sentimen ini diterjemahkan oleh mereka tanpa disedari. Mereka menyampaikan ketidakpuasan hati mereka kepada Putrajaya melalui cara mereka berfikir, berpakaian atau bercakap.

Mungkin mereka tidak sedar – tetapi mengikut pemerhatian saya, saya merasakan mereka lebih rela memakai jersi JDT daripada jersi pasukan Malaysia. Tapi itu perkara yang kecil.

Tapi perkataan-perkataan yang dahulunya saya jarang dengar seperti "Bangsa Johor", sudah mula kedengaran di mana-mana.

Sticker-sticker berlandaskan semangat kenegerian berada di mana-mana kereta dan motosikal. Jenama baju Joho, baju tertulis perkataan "Johor" dalam tulisan jawi, atau sticker seperti "Lanun Johor" kelihatan di mana-mana, tidak mengira kaum.

Johor yang saya kenal semasa saya kecil dahulu, bukan Johor yang macam sekarang.

Mungkin selama ini negeri yang agak kuat semangat kenegeriannya seperti Kelantan atau Sabah sudah biasa saya lihat, tapi semangat kenegerian Johor ini seolah-olah ia secara "subliminal message" ini adalah "nasionalisme Bangsa Johor" dan ia lebih kuat dari apa yang saya fikirkan sebelum ini.

Yang paling saya tak tahu selama ini negeri Johor ada bendera-bendera daerah mereka sendiri.

Saya tak pernah bayangkan Hulu Langat atau Petaling ada bendera sendiri di Selangor.

Itu mungkin perkara kecil. Tapi, dari perkara kecil lah, benda besar boleh berlaku.

Peristiwa rusuhan di Plaza Low Yat misalnya, bermula dari perkara kecil – curi telefon bimbit (atau peniaga menipu barang kepada pengguna, tak tahu yang mana satu betul) – tapi lama-lama ia menjadi besar, dan jika tidak dikawal ia jadi satu rusuhan kaum yang besar seperti 13 Mei 1969.

Jadi "perkara-perkara kecil" inilah yang saya perhatikan di Johor. Jika pentadbiran di Putrajaya masih lagi kalut, dan pembangkang masih berkelahi sesama sendiri, lama-lama saya rasa gerakan untuk keluar dari Malaysia akan semakin kuat.

Bahkan saya percaya rata-rata rakyat Johor lebih percaya dan lebih menyokong Sultan dan Tengku Mahkota Johor dari perdana menteri Malaysia.

Kalau berterusan begini, mungkin satu hari nanti bila saya nak pulang berhari raya ke rumah saudara mara saya di Kluang ini, saya terpaksa membawa passport.

Apapun, saya ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua pembaca ruang pojok ini, dan semua pembaca The Malaysian Insider. Saya memohon ampun dan maaf sekira sepanjang tahun yang lalu saya ada terkasar bahasa dan menimbulkan kemarahan. – 18 Julai, 2015.

Katanya, menurut laporan Mingguan Malaysia hari ini, ini kerana, sekolah vernakular sudah lama menjadi warisan kemerdekaan negara.

"Di Indonesia, Thailand, Filipina dan Mynamar, apabila merdeka, mereka berasaskan konsep asimilasi, tetapi di Malaysia berasaskan integrasi.

"Maknanya, memperakui perbezaan yang ada dalam masyarakat kita dan memberikan ruang kepada perbezaan itu supaya boleh berkembang sendiri," beliau dipetik berkata dalam wawancara bertajuk "Berpecah bukan sebab bahasa".

Menurutnya, mereka yang mencadangkan sekolah satu aliran bagi menggantikan sekolah vernakular tidak faham sejarah negara.

"Kita tak tutup sekolah Inggeris tetapi (buka) sekolah persendirian. Sekolah Cina dan agama pula, ada yang persendirian dan dibiayai kerajaan. Sekolah Tamil pula dibiayai kerajaan.

"Ini tidak boleh ditukar kerana ini perjanjian kemerdekaan.

"Orang yang mencadangkan sekolah satu aliran itu tidak tahu dan tidak faham tentang sejarah negara kita," katanya seperti dilaporkan akhbar milik Umno itu. – 19 Julai, 2015.

Salam,

Ada pandangan Kelantan memohon keluar dari Malaysia sebab tak dapat royalty gas, sebab kerajaan pusat anak titikan Kelantan, jikamacam tu nanti UMNO akan mati kat negeri itu dan semua orang luar nak masuk Kelantan kena buat pasport antarabangsa hu hu hu

Apakah pandangan ini mustahil berlaku ? Jawabnya tidak mustahil berlaku sebab banyak negara luar yang sedang tuntut demikian kerana berlaku ketidak adilan bukan kerana semata-mata mahu kuasa, kerajaan Kelantan mahu isu royalty di bincang secara persaudaraan akan tetapi jika gagal maka isu ini akan di bawa ke mahkamah antarabangsa

Andainya mahkamah antarabangsa juga gagal maka Kelantan mungkin akan bawa isu keluar Malaysia kepada mahkamah antarabangsa, kalau gagal juga nak buat macam mana ? Tidak mungkin kerajaan puasat benarkan hal yang sebegini sebab ia akan mengundang huruhara dan contoh mungkin boleh di ambil dari negera di utara negera itu

Isu Kelantan nak keluar Malaysia sudah lama kedengaran dulu, pun atas sebab ketidak adilan, baru baru ini menteri dari Kelantan yang bermazhab UMNO bagitahu bahawa Kerajaan Pusat dah peruntukan lebih 7 billion untuk Kelantan, nak apa lagi ? Sebenarnya peruntukan itu tak nampakpun dan tak ujud samasekali sebab kerajaan negeri tidak di amanahkan dengan peruntukan sejumlah itu

Kerajaan pusat hanya berikan kepada pegawai kerajaan persekutuan yang terdapat di Kelantan ertinya kerajaan Kelantan tak tahu apa, ia macam UMNO memberikan memperuntukkan dengan UMNO juga (jika ada) sebab itu peruntukan tersebut tidak boleh di percayai langsung dan kerajaan negeri berhak kata tidak tahu sebab masalah negeri hanya di bahu kerajaan yang memerintah negeri akan tetapi orang yang tidak menmerintah pula yang macan pemerintah, ini sudah macam memperbodohkan kerajaan negeri

Kerajaan negeri macam di perbodohkan oleh kerajaan pusat sebab pusat tidak percaya dengan kerajaan negeri takut peruntukkan tersebut di bahagi-bahagikan sesama mereka, mereka menganggap kerajaan negeri ni macam tak pernah dapat harta banyak atau salah gunakan untuk pribadi dan parti atau kroni, jika sebab inilah yang di takuti maka kerajaan negeri elok tidak usah ambil tahu langsung, atau jawab saja tak tahu

Persoalannya bolehkah kerajaan Kelantan keluar dari Malaysia ? ikut undang-undang dan suara rakyat boleh, tapi agak sukar, pokoknya boleh ! sebab ada jalan mungki macam Singapore ?
