Petronas' blatant disregard to Sarawak's rights

说明

PETRONAS' intention to resort to court in a bid to maintain control over the trading and extraction of gas and oil-related products in Sarawak’s territory represents a humiliating, cruel and unjust attempt to seize what is not theirs. This blatant move disregards the special autonomy and inherent rights of the people of Sarawak under both domestic and international law, furthering a legacy of exploitation and marginalization that has persisted for decades.

Voon: The Right of PETRONAS to take oil & gas of Sarawak?

说明

PETRONAS is a creation by the Malaysian Parliament by way of the Petroleum Development Act 1974(PDA74). Malaysian Parliament is supreme and has the power to pass, amend and repeal laws and therefore, to say PETRONAS disregard the rights of Sabah and Sarawak to the oil and gas resources off the shores of Sabah and Sarawak is legally not correct.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ON MA63 IMPLEMENTATION

说明


Robert Pei, President of Sabah Sarawak Rights Australia New Zealand (SSRANZ) NGO, answers questions on MA63 implementation.

1. WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE FULL ESSENCE OF MA63 FOR SARAWAK?

The Federal Government faces significant challenges in fully implementing the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) due to numerous unconstitutional alterations that have shifted the agreed Malaysia concept from a secular multi-cultural state to one dominated by race and religion.

Voon: Negative feedbacks on closing gates of police stations.

说明

Voon: Use of Public Fund

说明

Public Funds is for spending on public projects and the government should not be allowed or misuse public funds to print posters and billboards showing images of ministers and politicians. This tantamount to "stealing public funds" for personal interest.

Voon: To Revert Title of TYT to Governor

说明

The title of Head of State of Sarawak should be dignified and the Head of State should not be addressed as Tuan Yang Terutama (TYT) as it is presently.

Voon: Why call for conferences, talks, seminars etc on Malaysia Agreement?

说明

Most politicians in power and academics are painting about Malaysia is a federation and MA63 is a valid treaty. This is a deception and a great sin. All will be judged before the Divine Court of our deeds on this planet.

According to the 2020 census, Christians make up 50.1% of the population of Sarawak. Protestants, mostly Anglicans, make up the majority, followed by more than 441,300 Catholics, but, despite Sarawak is only state in Malaysia that has most Christians, the government had not given Easter as a holiday since it falls on Sunday.
