SAPP Political Move Is With The Spirit of Sabahans

Has it ever crossed your mind or noticed that Sabah state assembly cabinet members are called ministers and not councilors as practiced in Peninsula states of Malaysia.
This is because when Sabah entered to form Malaysia with Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya, they joined as equal partners and with the same sovereignty and autonomy. Its spirit is expressed in the 20-point Agreement.
In fact under point 13 of the 20-point Agreement, the name Prime Minister was mentioned for the Sabah ‘state’ government.
We have to understand the circumstances that Sabah joined Malaysia in order to appreciate their dissatisfaction at the moment.
While Sabah had fulfilled its part, the same cannot be said with the federal government. It is common knowledge in Sabah that it rights had deteriorated and its political landscape had changed.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about the matter:
The 20-point Agreement was written for the main purpose of safeguarding the interests, rights, and the autonomy of the people of Sabah upon entering the Federation of Malaysia. It was originally envisaged that Sabah will be one of the four entities in the Federation, the others being Malaya, Singapore, and Sarawak. However, as times passed, Sabah and Sarawak ended up being merely one of the 13 states in the Federation

There is no doubt that the 20-point agreement is wilting and if the present Sabah parliamentarians were to do nothing about it, more changes and deterioration will happen.

SAPP, a small Sabah political party of the coalition in government, made a significant move and declared its dissatisfaction by voicing no confidence on the Malaysian prime minister.
Which is totally right, as Sabah had been burdened with illegal immigrants, unsubstantiated new Malaysian identity to foreigners who did not qualify, poor infrastructure, unfair distribution of wealth, high unemployment rate and being the poorest state in Malaysia, despite its wealthy resources. Their earlier calls to resolve these, particularly the Royal Commission to look into the illegal immigration problem, were ignored or given the delayed treatment.

What followed this declaration, we suddenly find the Anti-corruption Agency is opening the file to investigate the party president.
We can be highly suspicious of its timing and can only conclude that it is political blackmail.
Apparently, this was something happened 12 years ago and the party president was then investigated and interviewed by them.

Why all this rhetoric from the ACA all of a sudden.
Is it a timely reminder to potential parliamentarians not to step out of line? If such is the case, their integrity is at stake. They have a duty to the Malaysians and the country.

Further to this, the same conclusion can be arrived at most of Sabah parliamentarians. Most of them had been vocal in demanding Sabah rights and wanted more emphasis and demand to know why Sabah security and immigration problems still persist. All of them suddenly fell silence and became non-committal.
It is sad to note that our Government Agencies, paid from our tax money and resources, are used as political tools for those who walk the corridor of power.

There is little wonder why Malaysia is imbedded into a 3rd world country and classified as such. We just do not have the right people to get us out of this shit at the moment.

We just need a total overhaul!
