KUCHING: Deputy Home Minister Wan Junaidi Jaafar’s warning to parties questioning the legitimacy of Malaysia has shocked Sarawak netizens, who’ve dubbed him ‘a Sarawak traitor’.
Affronted users of the social media maintained that Sarawakians have the fundamental right to question and ask for a review of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement and that it was not seditious.
Junaidi had on Sunday reportedly warned politicians “playing around” and raising the Malaysia Agreement-related issues. He said it was ‘treason and seditious’.
“The issue can disrupt unity between West Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak. Raising the issue is an act of treason. The Malaysia Agreement should not be raised anymore,” he said.
A posting of Junaidi’s contentious comment on the Sarawak Sovereignty Movement (SSM) Facebook page drew 58 wide-ranging comments with hundreds of likes within a day.
User Skidz Chai screamed “Pengkhianat Sarawak (Sarawak’s traitor)!” while another Penan Murum posted: “This fellow is (Prime Minister) Najib’s (servant) and is brainwashed by Malaya. A Negara Sarawak traitor!”
SSM regular Morshidi Abdul Rahman posted: “We are not playing around about the Malaysia formation issue
“We are questioning the legitimacy of the Malaysia establishment when there are facts showing the Sarawak nation (Negara Sarawak) had been tricked by the British and Malayan leaders in the early sixties.
“Most Sarawak leaders (then) were inexperienced and not highly educated to know what the actual Malayan agenda was.
“Only now we (Sarawakians) can see ourselves their agenda to enrich Malaya and drain off as much oil gains and taxes as possible for the benefit of Malaya only.
“As our people are not ‘smart lawyers’, cannot we ordinary citizens know the truth?” he asked.
Malaya’s lackey
His views were echoed by another user Walter Gregory Ripon, who said: “All agreements of course must be reviewed from time to time to ensure there is no deviation from the foundations of the agreements.
“As an educated minister, please do not make statements like an uneducated person.”
Xavier Ginafah Sidop, meanwhile, theorised that Junaidi was acting on the orders of Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“Pak Wan (Junaidi) must have been bashed up by his boss Zahid. That’s why he gave the first warnings to Sarawakians. What had happened to you, Pak Wan?” he asked.
Other users reminded Junaidi and other Sarawak ministers about who had originally put them in power.
“YB (Wan Junaidi), be careful. Who had appointed you to be a YB? Malayans or Sarawakians?” asked Arel Nyeo Bakar
Yet another posting commented on the Malayan trickery. “As expected, a Sarawakian had been used for this issue (warning against questioning Malaysia’s formation).
“The PM and his Malayan gang are having a good time siphoning SS riches, while there are two Sarawak ministers covering them.
“Harapkan pagar, pagar menghisap duit sama (the people who were trusted, also stealing from us). These ministers will be troubled when the state election comes.
“We will not forget his statements saying Sarawakians are playing around. We now know who to vote for,” said user Queenasia Skyetv.
