In 1963, the federation of Malaysia was formed by 4 different Territories, namely the federation of Malaya (consisting of 11 states), the State of Sarawak, the State of North Borneo and the State of Singapore. These were the 4 signatories to the Agreement in 1963. The other signatory was United Kingdom, acting as the colonial master of the States of Sarawak, North Borneo and Singapore.
The amendment to Art 1(2) in 1976 made the federation to be of 13 states and the federal territories. That had the effect of doing away with the federation of Malaysia as envisaged in 1963 and to assimilate the two States of Borneo into the federation of Malaya but called it Malaysia.
After 43 years Parliament is having another go and I have just read the proposed amendments.
It should have been a very simple exercise and yet the drafters are trying to confuse and hold on the the assimilated nature of Malaya in the guise of Malaysia.
There is no difference between the 1976 version and the proposed amended version. The proposed version is just playing with the construction of a sentence. The proposed version just split the 1976 version into two parts - (a) and (b). It is still in one sentence. There is no explanation or clarification as to why there is two part -(a) and (b).
A very simple amendment will look like this:
" (2) The States of the Federation shall consist of:-
(a) the Federation of Malaya (which consist of the eleven states in the Federation of Malaya);
(b) the State of Sarawak; and
(c) the State of Sabah.
These three States shall form the Federation of Malaysia."
What the Parliament under the PH Government is trying to do is to still try to hold on to Sarawak and Sabah as one of 13 states and assimilate (by a take over) Sarawak and Sabah to Malaya.
I want my MP of Sibu to vote against this proposal and put forward an amendment in the manner I provide above .
在1963年，马来西亚联邦是由4个不同的国境组成，即马来亚联邦（由11个州组成），砂拉越州，北婆罗洲和新加坡国。这些是1963年马来西亚协定的4个签署国。另一个签署国是英国 - 是当时砂拉越州，北婆罗洲和新加坡的殖民主。
1976年第1（2）条修正案使马来西亚联邦划分成为13个州和联邦领土。此举的结果，是废除了1963年所设想的马来西亚联邦，并将婆罗洲两国同化为马来亚联邦，但称之为马来西亚联邦。
经过了43年后，国会再次开始会议，我刚刚阅读了拟议的修正案。
我感到很失望，因为它应该是一个非常简单的习题，然而修正案起草人却试图以马来西亚为幌子来混淆和坚持以马来亚做为同化性质。
1976版和现在提呈的拟议的修正案没有区别。拟议修正案版本只是在构建一个句子。拟议的版本只是将1976年版本分为两部分 - （a）和（b）。但它仍然是一句话。关于为什么有两个部分 - （a）和（b），没有任何解释或阐明。
一个非常简单的修正案将如下所示：
“（2）联邦各州应包括： -
的（a）马来亚联邦（由马来亚联邦的11个州组成）;
（b）中砂拉越州;和
（c）中沙巴州。
这三个国家将组成马来西亚联邦“。
希盟政府正在试图做的事情是，仍然试图将砂拉越和沙巴降为13个州属中的一个，并将砂拉越和沙巴同化（通过接管）到马来亚。
我希望我们的诗巫国会议员投票反对这项提议，并以我所提供的以上方式提出修正案。
