20 Points Malaysia Agreement

April 8, 2021AdministratorUncategorized0

I leave it to the readers of Sarawak to mentally verify what happened to Sarawak and whether the 20-point agreement was respected by the federal government. The door to dialogue was never closed and Tan Sri Haniff said: “… if the intention was correct, it could be studied and better explained. But that never happened, although there is a think tank like the Institute for Development Studies. Instead, the ruling PBS politicized the “20 points” and mobilized people. Instead, they should focus on issues related to Malaysia`s education, which could be used to gain strength in relations between the federal state and the federal states and for the well-being of the people of Sabah and its future generation. The PBS leaders of the time were too spontaneous and reactive in their actions. As part of an agreement signed between Great Britain and the Federation of Malaya, the issue of self-determination vis-à-vis the peoples of northern Borneo and Sarawak represented a challenge for the formation of the Malaysian Federation. In a joint statement by the British and Malaysian governments of 23 November 1961, it was announced that before making a final decision, it was necessary to identify the views of the peoples of northern Borneo and Sarawak. It was decided to set up a commission to set up the task and make recommendations. It is obvious from the number of posts on social networks that The Sabahans are either ignorant of the problem or they are simply too lazy to find out what the 20 points really are. In short, they bark on the wrong tree. If the 20 points are the fact that the position of Sabah`s malicious status in Malaysia is resolved, then why are we still confused? We have been in this position since 1963, but it has been more evident since 1987.

A commission of inquiry headed by Lord Cameron Cobbold and the Lansdowne Committee, an intergovernmental committee, have been appointed to assist in the development of the Malaysian agreement. Lord Lansdowne served for Great Britain and Tun Abdul Razak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Federation of Malaya, for Malaya. [1] The 18 points were based on the Nine Cardinal Principles of the domination of english Rajah. [2] [3] A similar memorandum, called a 20-point agreement, was developed and presented by Borneo North. The 18-point agreement often serves as a focal point for those who claim that Sarawak`s rights within the Federation have been eroded over time, such as Sabah. But it was a discussion that made two points of death: the 18-point agreement or the 18-point memorandum was an 18-point list drawn up by Le Sarawak and proposed conditions for the formation of Malaysia during the negotiations before the creation of the new Federation in 1963. This 20-point agreement is fundamental to “the relationship and respect for the corresponding rights for Sarawak and Sabah.” One way or another, after 45 years, the federal government began to ignore the agreement and even changed the “rules” without the agreement of Sarawak and Sabah. I believe the 20 points are a red herring, a distraction clearly chosen and distributed among the ignorant Sabahans. They want the Sabahans to be involved in the 20 points of NO LOCUS STANDI. Essentially a distraction created to feed off the nationalist fever that spreads to Sabah, especially in the KDM community.
