Hishammuddin’s announcement of a new naval base at Bintulu follows a number of unpublicised incursions by Chinese naval and maritime surveillance forces into Malaysian waters off East Malaysia and the Malaysian portion of the Spratly Islands.
The same old fear mongering tactics employed by the Federal Government (Malaya) like what they have done in the 1963 during the Tricky formation of Malaysia federation. In the 1963, Malaya and British employed "fear tactics" to influence and legalized their intention of neo-colonization by "Independence in Malaysia" concept by telling Sabahan and Sarawakian the threats of communists, Indonesia confrontation and claim of the Philippines which in facts, the threats actually comprising of Sarawak nationalists and freedom fighters for Independence of Sarawak. Even so, even the British know that Malaya have no military and economics powers at that time that make it possible for them to counter such "vile" threat even if it exists. Today, they employed the same tactics to legalize their (Malaya) troops and "power" in Sarawak shores of Bintulu.
Malaysia is keen to draw on the USMC’s expertise and has been in discussions with the United States (US) over support, training and expertise exchange. Malaysia has been without an amphibious naval platform since the loss of Newport-class landing ship-tank KD Sri Inderapurain an October 2009 fire.
Even the current condition of Malaysia (Malaya) army/navy is questionable as it capabilities to ensure the securities of Sarawak and Sabah. Remember, one of the reason Sabah and Sarawak agree to form Malaysia federation together with Singapore and Malaya is due to the promises of securities from foreign invasion.
Malaysia is to set up a marine corps and establish a naval base close to waters claimed by China, Defense Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said in a statement on 10 October.
According to the statement, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) base will be established at Bintulu on the South China Sea (SCS) to protect the surrounding area and oil reserves.
These statements and military plans seem like pre-emptive action in case Sabah and Sarawak try to regain back their oil and gas reserves which have been transferred to Malaya with a pittance 5% royalty in return. Not to mention that on 22nd July 2013, after 50 years of Trickery Malaysia federation formation, Sarawak made a big statement by initiating Independence Day celebration this year. Clearly a statement to Malaya, Sabah and the world that Sarawak is a sovereign state.
Hishammuddin’s description of the marine force only states that it will be established for amphibious operations, drawn from all three services and essential for security in the East Malaysian state of Sabah, where Sulu militants staged an incursion in February that was subsequently repelled by a military operation.
Again, fear mongering tactics about Sulu incursion. Clearly only to legitimize and accelerated the presence of "Malaya" in Sarawak. Not to mention that the real Sultan of Sulu, Sultan Basilan II is advocating a peaceful approach for all matter on Sulu Sultanate affairs and against the action by the decease and fake Sultan Kiram which is backed by the Philippine government.
The statement did not give any further details but IHS Jane’s understands that the marine corps proposal was planned before the Sulu incursion but has since been prioritized.
Of course there are no details on the matters since it was a covert operation to safeguard the interest of the federal government (Malaya) on Sarawak resources of oil and gas. As a matter of facts, they (Malaya) plan it even before Sulu incursion, so, how come nobody know about it? Is their any hidden agenda on the matter?
All this happen due to political and economic circumstances surrounding federal government (Malaya) and their desperation to ensure that their "bank" and "deposited" (Sabah and Sarawak 44 MP ensure BN grip on Putrajaya) is guaranteed and not taken from them, Bintulu had been long planned to be a Federal Territory.
Since the 1980s, Mahathir had wanted Sarawak to cede Bintulu to become Federal Territory like Labuan which now become the Federal Territory of Labuan, and thus, lost of Sabah sovereignty over Labuan. Even the legality of Labuan to become Federal Territory also contentious as there is no referendum on the matter because only Sabahan have the rights on the decision either to cede Labuan or not to this Federal Government in disguise (Malaya).
It should be kept in mind that Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd is federal, leaving out Sarawak-owned Bintulu Port Bhd in the cold.
The trick with the promise of Bintulu to be the next biggest development hub in Malaysia with nowhere to be seen as yet amounting to biliions of ringgit is there for a reason itself. Does this billions of ringgit is a bribe to local leaders to "surrender" Bintulu to federal government (Malaya)? Afterall, Bintulu alone produce more than 20% of the total Malaysia GDP. Now who does not want to hold on to the goose that lays a trillion golden eggs?
Is there any "Ketuanan Melayu" concept in play here? As Malay Sultanate of Brunei still not lifting their claim on Bintulu and still failed and silent on such issue, so, and might as well, other Malay Sultanate (Malaya) reclaim Bintulu in such process is better than never?
But the naive people and the ignorant as always will believe in the boken record promises of BN UMNO, which will be played through our own proxies leaders of Malaya. Of course, there will small "pecah tanah" here and there, just to confuse the people.
It is also estimated that there are about 400,000 immigrant workers in Sarawak, many from Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. legal and illegal. Once Sarawak immigration autonomy is undermined, many of these will be given ICs. Sarawak will be a just Sabah clone.
Folks the alarm has been raised about the SCORE project continuously since before 916 O/Day Face Book in other Sarawak websites. This was what Najib was hinting when he said Sarawak was serious about “national development and immigration”.
What he meant would be a flood of Malayan professionals and blue colours workers as well as hundreds of thousands from other countries. It is not just "development" but also population engineering like what UMNO did to Sabah.
It is not surprise that Taib is involved in this scheme. It is another but even more serious betrayal of Sarawak. So we should not be fooled by his criticisms of UMNO's “Allah” issue which is part of his re-election ploy. However Taib Mahmud on one side seem to flipping the coins and able to belittle and rubbish federal government (Malaya) plan by setting up more Training school, training programme and so on for Sarawakian to be spare in the SCORE projetcs. Thus, there is the end of federal government (Malaya) subversive plan on undertaking Bintulu.
Once Taib will be gone, there will be huge scramble for the top position. Jabu will be planted exactly like Tawi Seli (Malaya proxies planted in Sarawak after CM Peter Kalong Ningkan overthrown by Malaya interference of Sarawak politic, CM Peter Kalong Ningkan is on the route of secede Sarawak from the Malaysia federation at that time following fall-out of Singapore in 1965). The history will repeat itself.
Why Jabu? Simple. To showcase to the Dayak people that BN UMNO is fair. But long and behold, this is the MASTER plan by BN UMNO. Jabu will either give in to BN UMNO play in view of cash nobody knows, but everybody can guess. There will huge money politics in play afterall Bintulu will pay it within just 1 year or even less.
Opposition becomes very strong in Sarawak, and will most likely take over by the next next State Election. UMNO corrupt comes at the time, dismantling the Sarawakians unity. Corrupt politicians take advantage and offered themselves to UMNO. The Dayak people, confused as ever, believe in UMNO sweet chocolate talks telling them the Bumiputra must reign supreme in the land of the hornbill, but these are ploy and dirty tricks by BN UMNO.
Beloved Sarawakians, unless we wake up and get together, we will face the next wave of the last nail on the coffin that seals our faith of becoming subjects of Malaya until our great grandchildren.
