DRAFT LETTER 2013
OPEN LETTER TO THE CHIEF MINISTER OF SARAWAK ON FALSE POLICE REPORTS ON LAWFUL END OF YEAR CELEBRATIONS
This is a private draft letter just received and is addressed to the Sarawak Chief Minister expressing concern over the "police reports" against the 722/916 open gathering today.
It is offered to Readers for consideration and comments.
Dear Pehin Sri Taib Mahmud,
We write to express our deep concern over irresponsible, unfounded and unwarranted "police reports' made by certain persons complaining about some people and or groups allegedly calling for the overthrow of the foreign Malayan government in relation to a lawful gathering in Kuching to mark the end of 2013.
We believe that this is a provocation calculated to create tension and divisions in Sarawak prior to the forthcoming State elections and perpetrated in opposition to your government's support of Sarawak Independence Day events.
One of the most important political developments of 2103 has been your government's support for the peaceful and joyful 722 Independence Walk to commemorate our Independence Day and which took place on 21 July 2013 without incidents.
The Borneo Heritage Foundation has also officially presented a memorandum calling for recognition of Sarawak Independence Day to your office in appreciation of your support.
Your government's welcome support for the event was clear to all.
Further, your government also reinforced our Independence Day with a pantomime and held an exhibition on Sarawak Independence. All these actions have gained widespread approval and support throughout our country Fair Land Sarawak.
The widespread popular support for Sarawak Independence is also evident in many public events such as soccer matches where the Sarawak flag is proudly displayed.
We are now alarmed that these “Police reports” are being lodged so as to give the Malayan police an excuse to harass innocent parties who want to celebrate lawful end of the year activities related to Sarawak Independence.
This was what happened in the Kota Kinabalu at the 916 Occupation Day Rally on 16 September the day our country was annexed by Malaya.
On that occasion the Malayan police surrounded and outnumbered people at the rally and harassed them by photographing and taking down their ID details in a perfectly peaceful assembly.
FALSE REPORTS BY UNSEEN HANDS TO DESTABILIZE SARAWAK
Such false reports calculated to be highly inflammatory and could not have been endorsed by your PBB BN party.
They can be seen as "unseen hands" trying to destabilize Sarawak so as to give the “Federal government” a reason to step in and take over direct control of our country as they did with Sabah.
The Kuala Lumpur government has the 500,000 or so “illegal” instant voters on standby in the oil palm plantations and the plan to bring a million “foreign workers” fits in perfectly with the Malayan “Sarawak takeover plan” a la Sabah.
In the freer environment we have in Sarawak as opposed to racially divided and strife-torn Malaya, you can see also as a seasoned politician, the implications of the Federal Police attempting to suppress any lawful exercise of our freedom of speech and association which the report is designed to do.
This will be a most undesirable situation as it will not only lead to upsetting the harmonious secular and pluralist society we have but also it will seriously upset over 70% of the population to have Malayans directly ruling us as the British did in 1946.
The people will see this as proof of what many people are saying that we are really a colony of Malaya for 50 years.
The Kuala Lumpur government recently put its security forces on full alert after panicking over some rumours of an alleged attempt to "overthrow the government".
Being in such an edgy mode it may react harshly and turn peaceful activities in Sarawak into another anti-Cession struggle if it wants to use any excuse to take away any freedom we may have.
We therefore call on your honourable office to defend and safeguard our independence freedoms including freedom of speech, association and assembly and not to allow any interference with any lawful activities which are in line with the Sarawak government policy of recognizing Sarawak Independence.
Yours respectfully
Concerned Sarawak Citizens
