本报美里10日讯）肯雅兰全民党（PBK）美里区部主席陈祥业律师今日召开新闻发布会，严厉批评砂拉越政府在特别州议会中通过将州议席由82席增加至99席的法案，直指该议案“不合理也无必要”，并称此举未能真正回应砂拉越人民对《马来西亚协定1963》（MA63）下自治权的期望，反而暴露砂政盟（GPS）企图通过操控议席数量继续巩固执政优势。

SSRANZ and PBK Condemn Betrayal of Sarawak’s Oil & Gas Sovereignty
The so-called “Joint Declaration” between the Federal Government, PETRONAS, and the Sarawak Government is not a victory for Sarawak—it is its final surrender of Sarawak oil and gas rights.

We can see clearly through the Joint Declaration that PETRONAS is still the owner of the oil and gas of Sarawak, with PETRONAS selling oil and gas to PETROS at prices set by PETRONAS for PETROS to distribute to their respective customers.
Most people only understand one side of the Borneo conflict— Why were Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand involved in this war from 1962 to 1970, supporting the formation of Malaysia and maintaining Malayan dominance? But rarely do we ask: what is the story from the other side? Why did thousands of Bornean people resist Malaysia? What were they fighting for?
After matters came out in the press yesterday, people complained to me that the distribution of cash vouchers for Gawai in the sum of RM30-00 by the GPS YBs is an insult to the Dayaks. To them, it shows that Dayaks are cheap and could be "bought" for RM30-00.
Democracy is about representation, check and balance but without any strong opposition, there is very little check and balance against government policies as it is now.
(Sibu, 10th) Senator Lau Hui Yew stated that when Malaysia was formed, there was a promise to accelerate the development of Sarawak and Sabah. However, the resources of Sarawak and Sabah have been misappropriated to help others develop, often at their own expense. （SeeHua11 May 2025)
（詩巫10日訊）國會上議員劉會耀表示，馬來西亞成立時，曾承諾加速砂拉越和沙巴的發展。然而，砂沙的資源卻被挪用來幫助別人發展，而且往往是以犧牲自己為代價的。11 May 2025 (诗华日报）
一段被压制的抵抗历史大多数人只了解婆罗洲战争的一面. 为什么澳大利亚、英国和新西兰在1962年至1970年间卷入这场战争，支持马来西亚的成立并维护马来亚的统治。
The Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA74) although argued unconstitutional or an invalid Act and unless repealed, vested the ownership, rights, powers, liberties and privileges of oil in Sarawak and Sabah in the hands of PETRONAS. Since ownership of the oil and gas resources had been transferred into the hands of PETRONAS, PDA74 does not require PETRONAS to pay “royalties” but, “cash payment” as compensation for the loss of these resources to Sarawak and Sabah.
Religion is important for the upbringing of children and we wish that the state government look into this seriously. It is learned from the press that the Sarawak government has approved about RM95 million to build the first Islamic International School in the state.
A new year's dawn a sky so clear
Wishing love and joy so near
May your health be strong and bright
In every day and every night
