Dear readers
916 was set up to create awareness that Malaysia is a hand-over 'on a silver platter' of both of Sarawak and Sabah, a takeover, an occupation, a colonization or neo-colonization, whichever way you wish want to call it. It is a subjugation and an exploitation, intimidation/indoctrination into subservience, controlling our minds, our resources especially our oil and gas, our wealth, our economy, and has even pervaded into our private beliefs into how we should not call our Maker.
What is the solution? There is no political solution in sight. Whichever regime is in charge, we still have to dance to the tune of our political master. Any change is simply changing the teapot without changing the tea.
As of now, the declassified British documents seem to offer a faint glimmer of hope with a legal solution. These documents of the colonial administration in its dying days reveal the ugly truth of how a nation and its peoples have been Shanghai'd, it's all there in black and white.
The peoples of Sarawak should demand the truth and an apology. And naturally the first step has to be the British court, it was our ex-colonial ruler who had breached their obligations and duty to us. We were denied us self-determination, and our people had been repressed to prevent us from exercising peacefully and freely our right to complete independence - all gross violations of human rights and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and, our Sarawak Constitution and 9 Cardinal Principles.
Let us be clear on a few points:
We do not seek compliance or restoration because this means we admit that Malaysia was properly formed. If we accept Malaysia by asking for compliance we will be walking back into the trap again. So no 'on and on' about Points and restoration. We also do not seek to dissolve the partnership, it is entirely unnecessary and not our job.
We exchange notes with Sabah but we do not take joint court action because Sarawak and Sabah are two different countries with different ethnicity and different history, and the course of Sabah fate had deviated so much that doing it together will only slow us down; we can only help each other by taking independent action for a speedy outcome of which both will benefit.
The 4 M's of court action: NAME BLAME CLAIM SHAME!!
Our proposal to raise our case in the British court is to get a court declaration that there was non-compliance with UN requirements; on the contrary the rules for decolonization were being broken right and left. We also want an apology for our peoples who were detained without trial and subjected to human rights abuses.
We have the evidence and arguments. There is a small window of opportunity right now. We have to take a definite move and not wait for another 50 years.
