I agree with ctc537 that state govts of Sabah and Sarawak have more executive powers than the other Malayan states.”

That’s stupid! What d’ya mean by “more executive powers”? Why are you talking of Malaya and Malayan states when what you mean is Peninsular M’sia or West Malaysia??

If there is something about local Sabahans (not the many legalised illegals who roam the streets of Sabah esp in town areas), we are forgiving in nature.

We will not forget your wrongdoings ( as a reminder for us lest history repeats itself ) but we are always open.

If W Malaysians do not feel welcome in Sabah because of that immigration ruling (that’s our unquestionable State right under the Malaysia Agreement and Sarawak has similar ruling as ours and remember that we are supposed to be a country of our own then ), then you’ve closed your eyes to what Sabah is all about.

We have had many unpleasant encounters with W Malaysians who came over. Many of whom looked down on the locals, disrespect our local adat not to mention disturbing our girls/women and bringing in a culture alien to Sabah – racism. Even as far back as in the late 1970s.

But we Sabahans are also known for our hospitality (unless you mistook the illegals as Sabahans and many W Malaysians do not know the difference).

I must say, I have many W Malaysians friends who came here to work, fell in love with Sabah and stayed on. And they are welcome. Others who left would always come back for holidays. These people understand our culture and embrace it. If you want to talk about Bangsa Malaysia, Sabah is Bangsa Malaysia for we do not segregate.

Although I must say Umno ruined that harmony and like I mentioned earlier, Anwar has a big part in introducing racial politics in Sabah through Umno in 1994. You have seen what racial politics cost you people in W Malaysia and we do not want this manifest in our beloved Sabah.

From here, you can understand why we Sabahans are wary about W Malaysians politics, Tun M, Anwar and their likes.

We Sabahans and Malaysians as a whole, would like to believe that Anwar has refromed and yes, we Sabahans would give any leader a chance for the sake of change and a better Malaysia.

Would you believe it that Sabahans are always for change. Like we did in 1986, 1990 and 1994. If we make demands before we join PR it is because we are doing it for the betterment of Sabah. We had been used, abused and taken for granted by federal leaders and no one should fault us for wanting something that is rightfully ours. You yourself had read our economic situation.

Many of our local political leaders too are at fault for playing along with Tun M and Anwar, Umno/BN who have no real intentions of developing Sabah or care its people’s welfare except to stay in power, enriched themselves and make BN the country’s perpetual govt.

But here again, even you in W Malaysia who are supposed to be more educated, advance and intelligent than us Sabahans cannot change the government of BN and Umno politics. Any political change must first come from W Malaysia. We had tried in Sabah but without the help of you in W Malaysia, its doom.

We can assure you that next general election, BN would have to fight tooth and nail to get locals to vote for them because we Sabahans always remember.

And anytime you need a people who look not upon one’s race or religion and eat on the same table, we are right here in Sabah.

May we achieve what we all dream of.

Down with tyranny!

Justice for all! Vox Populi!

I am reminded that many people will not appreciate how it feels to be underprivelaged unless the shoe is on the other foot.

SO>…. this is the solution.

We frequently hear horror stories of newly qualified doctors posted to way off places but tend to brush it off by saying they will be back in a few years. I think maybe the problem may be largely us.

In any case…. they should force ALL POLITICIANS who have never been to East Malaysia to do their housemanship there. The same principle applies does it not? I am sure this is a darn sight better than sending them to Taiwan to observe Taiwanese planters. And what the heck happened after that little fiasco? Any recommendations? Any new planting tips?

Going one step further….. we all hear of the honest and principled cab driver who against all odds has returned property or money belonging to some forgetful patron. Every now and then we also hear of politicians doing the exact opposite. So…

for the politicians that cannot for some reason or other go to East Malaysia, we should make them drive taxis. Just to learn what it is like to serve.

And the taxi drivers… well… make them the interim ministers….

;-)

Just like we hear ever so often of the principled and honest cab driver who returns valuable items and cash left in his car.

To me, past is past. No point harping on it and prevent Sabah within Malaysia to go forward. We would be like the Palestinians fighting Israel. They keep harping on the past instead of looking what can be done, NOW and for the future.

One of the first steps is to get to know your fellow Malaysians from West Malaysia and for West Malaysians to know you. You have read all those comments of surprise of the situation in Sabah. These are genuine reactions from West Malaysians, who did not get to opportunity to know Sabah. And Sabahans to get to know their fellow West Malaysians, except those who get cocooned in MARA (now, UiTM) and see and hear one side of the story.

To me, there are 2 reasons, which I shall repeat, again:-
1. In the past, Malaysian Airlines monopolised the air route between West and East Malaysia. They imposed such prohibitive fares that only the rich businessmen and Federal Goverment cronies can afford. Now, things have changed. Air Asia allow “Everyone to Fly” for a reasonable fare. Note: I have no shares or interest in Air Asia or employed by them. But I am a fan of their business model that has allowed me to fly at reasonable prices.
2. The insular concept of restricting entry to West Malaysians. This unfortunate state of affairs has not changed. All the restrictions are still in place discriminating West Malaysians.

Now, how can we to be fellow citizens with a common destiny when Westies are NOT welcome to Sabah and Sarawak? Imagine telling people, “I want to be your friend but you have to undergo strict ‘strip-search’ before you are allowed to my kampung. Then, again, you cannot stay as long as you wish. You can only be just a guest in my kampung. You also cannot build a house and live in my kampung. If you happen to fall in love and marry with my sister, your children can stay in the kampung but YOU are still just a guest and must leave within 3 months”.

If this kind of division & thinking continues, I am afraid Sabahans/Sarawakians can never to true friends and fellow citizens with West Malaysians.

Our Malayan brethrens even criticised or MPs for not crossing over. Some even say Sabahans must help themselves first and go change to escape poverty and Sabah’s current predicament politically, economically or socially.

Truth is, we Sabahans dare for change in 1986, 1990 and 1994 when we voted against BN. When Malayans and Sarawakians didn’t and even in the PRU12 (winning 5 states not a win).

Sabah was punished severely them. Economic sanction especially and we suffered in silent. Development funds was until this year, controlled by federal govt. None of you in W Malaysia said anything against BN/Tun M at what they did to us. During those time, PBS did their best to bring development in Sabah including in rural areas, their focus, despite lacked of funds. PBS also voiced concern about the Project IC to legalise illegals. Nobody listened. Today and in the PRU 12, these legalise illegals did their ‘duty’ and vote for BN while majority of locals voted against BN. But we were outnumbered.

In 1994, Anwar Ibrahim was the dalang resulting in PBS lost the govt in a coup d’etat.

Now W Malaysian, because they felt the economic, political and social pinches, plus corruption, surging crime and so on, they pressured Sabah MPs to crossover and join PR. Not for Sabah interest but because W Malaysians are feeling the heat.

After more than 20 years, W Malaysians finally opened their eyes and saw what BN/Umno is all about. You want Sabah MPs to join Anwar? He betrayed our mandate in 1994. He responsibly brought Umno in Sabah and introduced racist politics. He hurt us economically, politically and brought in racist politics through Umno. How can we trust him that easily?

Anwar has to win our trust. But Sabahans have independent minds and we are always for change for the better. But we do not want to be used, abused and taken for granted just so Anwar could be Pm, PR the government and you in W Malaysia could have a better life and economy at the expanse of Sabahans.

We voted for changed in 1986, 1990 and 1994. You in W Malaysia did not and that’s why we are all in this sorry situation with Umno/BN raping the country.

Don’t take it out on Sabah for your wrongdoings and cowardice in the first place. The biggest cowards too are those MPs and rakyat of Sarawak.

But let’s forget this and work for a better Malaysia. I’m sure our MPs and Sabahans would learn to trust Anwar again. He better don’t betray us again!
