Sabah Sarawak Union - United Kingdom (SSU-UK)

Info yang perlu anda tahu... Pada peringkat permulaan pergerakan SSKM, ia adalah dalam bentuk tertutup. Selepas itu bergerak kepada perjumpaan kecil-kecilan di semua tempat Negara Sabah, Negara Sarawak termasuklah di malaya.

Perjumpaan kecil-kecilan SSKM dikenali sebagai "Lepak-lepak SSKM" dan berkembang menjadi besar. Pernah dicadangkan untuk ditukar nama daripada "Lepak-lepak SSKM" kepada "Bornean Gathering (BorGa)". 

Namun, apa jua nama panggilannya, perjumpaan dengan rakyat Negara Sabah dan rakyat Negara Sarawak tetap diteruskan malah semakin hari semakin rancak sehinggalah sentimen "Sabah For Sabahan" dan "Sarawak For Sarawakian" muncul semula dan menjadi hangat dan tersangat hangat sekali. 

Pemimpin Malaya termasuk barua malaya di Negara Sabah telah menghentam Pejuang Nasionalis Sabahan yang melaungkan slogan "Sabah For Sabahan" tetapi telah dihentam balik dan dipatahkan oleh Pejuang Nasionalis Bangsa Negara Sarawak dengan kenyataan "Kalau bukan Sabah For Sabahan, takkan Sabah For malaya atau PTI?". 

Semangat Sarawak For Sarawakian semakin hangat dan kuat kerana kesedaran sejarah dikalangan Generasi Muda Negara Sarawak. Buktinya, penyertaan mereka dapat dilihat melalui penganjuran Hari Kemerdekaan Negara Sarawak pada 22 Julai 2014 telah mendapat sambutan yang sangat HANGAT dan telah menggerunkan malaya untuk terpaksa tunduk kepada Kebangkitan Generasi Muda Negara Sarawak yang mana dikuatkan lagi oleh sokongan pemimpin-pemimpin Nasionalis Negara Sarawak yang berada di barisan Kerajaan mahupun di barisan pembangkang yang menyokong atas kapasiti individu dan tidak mewakili parti politik mereka.

Demikian juga perkara yang sama berlaku di Negara Sabah. Aktiviti Kemerdekaan Negara Sabah telah disambut dengan cara yang sangat unik dan berjaya melakar sejarah baru untuk rujukan dan tatapan generasi masa depan. Ini kerana aktiviti Kemerdekaan dilakukan melalui satu aktiviti yang dipanggil "Ekspedisi Sabah Merdeka Day". Ia disambut oleh semua rakyat Negara Sabah yang berada di tanah air mahupun di luar negara (Negara Sarawak, Negara malaya, Negara Singapura, Negara Taiwan, Eropah-UK). Pada masa yang sama juga, Forum Awam yang memberikan kesedaran telah dianjurkan di kedua-dua negara, Sabah dan Sarawak. Dan yang lebih mengkagumkan, Forum Kesedaran juga telah diadakan di malaya. Ini telah memberi impak kesedaran yang sangat besar sekali.

Dan sebaik sahaja semua aktiviti ini selesai, kerajaan telah dengan rasminya memperkenalkan SSKM kepada satu Dunia melalui media rasminya. Ia sebenarnya merupakan satu Penghormatan kepada pihak SSKM untuk berada di kaca TV dan juga disemua surat khabar pada halaman utama muka surat.

Adakah ia menakutkan SSKM?

Ia sebenarnya membuatkan pihak SSKM berasa sangat teruja dan gembira kerana perjuangan SSKM telah mendapat pengiktirafan daripada semua pihak dengan pelbagai gelaran dan tuduhan.

Dan yang lebih membanggakan lagi apabila perdana menteri malaya, ketua polis negara serta kumpulan barisan bn-umno termasuk barisan pr turut serta memberi pengiktirafan melalui media sosial mereka masing-masing.

Siapakah Pencabar/Pihak Lawan Utama SSKM?

Sudah tentu Pencabar/Pihak Lawan SSKM adalah Kerajaan persekutuan tanah melayu (malaya) yang telah menyamar menjadi kerajaan persekutuan malaysia. Maka, orang perseorangan, ngo-ngo yang kecil-kecil yang menjadi suruhan bn-umno-pr sebenarnya bukan lawan sebenar SSKM. Dalam erti kata lain, mereka tidak layak dan tidak setaraf dengan level SSKM.

Cakap besar?

Itu Hak anda untuk sendiri menilai.

Maka dengan itu, pihak SSKM akan menyebarkan secara langsung kepada semua rakyat Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak melalui media sosial SSKM tanpa perlu berselindung lagi. Justeru, pihak SSKM menjemput anda semua untuk menyertai perjuangan ini dengan menyebarkan kesedaran Sejarah berfakta serta Hak-hak yang MESTI DITUNTUT dengan bijaksana melalui saluran Demokrasi dan Bertemadun.

Bukan melalui keganasan, rusuhan, demonstrasi atau apa-apa perbuatan yang mengancam nyawa mahupun keamanan yang bersifat fizikal tetapi perjuangan ini melalui hanya dengan sebatang Pen.

Pen lebih berkesan daripada Peluru.

Petisyen, memorendum dan Referendum merupakan saluran Demokrasi yang diiktiraf oleh Dunia dan ia merupakan pilihan tepat dalam Perjuangan SSKM.

Oleh itu, kenyataan seperti berlaku perang, pertumpahan darah, rusuhan dan sebagainya itu tidak akan berlaku. Walau bagaimanapun, jikalau ia berlaku, ia semestinya didalangi oleh bn-umno termasuklah pr kerana mereka tergugat dan terancam. Ini kerana agenda malaya bakal terkubur dan penjajahan bakal berakhir selamanya di bumi Borneo ini.

Oleh itu, mohon semua untuk sebarkan kesedaran ini kepada semua rakyat Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak untuk tidak terpengaruh dengan mana-mana cubaan yang menggunakan sentimen perkauman dan agama untuk menjejaskan perjuangan SSKM. Ini kerana perjuangan SSKM melangkaui soal agama mahupun perkauman.

Ini soal TUNTUT HAK MUTLAK BANGSA NEGARA SABAH DAN BANGSA NEGARA SARAWAK!

Ramai rakyat Bangsa Negara Sabah dan rakyat Bangsa Negara Sarawak keliru dengan perjuangan SSKM terutama sekali bangsa malaya. Lontaran demi lontaran fitnah dan komen yang bersifat destruktif tidak pernah henti kedengaran. Disana-sini orang bn-umno memekik mengatakan bahawa SSKM itu mempunyai agenda jahat dan sebagainya sehingga air liur yang berbau meleleh keluar (rahman dahlan and the gang) tanpa disedari. Manakala orang pr pula siang dan malam mengatakan bahawa SSKM ini adalah perosak bangsa, keharmonian dan sebagainya tanpa disedari bahawa merekalah sebenarnya golongan perosak bangsa dan keharmonian bersama-sama dengan bn-umno melalui pembawaan agenda politik malaya. 

Apakah itu agenda malaya?

Agenda malaya adalah satu perancangan tersembunyi yang mahu dilaksanakan keatas Kerajaan Negara Sabah dan Kerajaan Negara Sarawak dengan kaedah yang licik melalui penguasaan Kuasa Politik. Dengan tercengkamnya kuasa Politik ditangan pemimpin-pemimpin malaya melalui parti-parti politik malaya yang bertanding di Borneo ini. Agenda malaya dijayakan atau digerakkan oleh boneka malaya yang dikenali sebagai "Barua malaya" atau Proksi malaya atau Wakil malaya di Borneo.

Disini pihak SSKM terangkan dua contoh yang terbaik dan tepat tentang bagaimana agenda malaya itu dapat diangkat dan diperkukuhkan melaluiparti-parti politik malaya iaitu bn-umno dan pr.

Agenda Malaya yang dibawakan oleh bn-umno adalah seperti berikut;

• Mengekalkan kekuasaan mereka terhadap politik dan sumber di bumi Sabah dan terus melayan Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai salah satu daripada 13 buah negeri di Malaysia, sehingga orang-orang Malaya bebas memiliki tanah dan sumber di Sabah.

• Mengekalkan bayaran sagu hati 5% hasil minyak Sabah tahunan kepada Sabah dan terus mengabaikan keperluan pembayaran royalti kepada Sabah seperti yang di nyatakan dalam undang-undang Ordinan Tanah Sabah. Terus menguasai minyak Sabah.

• Mengekalkan dasar perkapalan yang memestikan semua kapal yang mahu berdagang di Sabah harus melalui Pelabuhan Klang sebelum ke Sabah kerana kepentingan Malaya.

• Keutamaan mereka adalah yang telah ‘diMelayukan’ melalui pemberian Kad Pengenalan melalui Projek IC Malaya untuk memastikan Ketuanan Melayu terus diperkukuh di Sabah.

• Sebarang keputusan pemimpin tempatan harus merujuk kepada kepimpinan Kuala Lumpur.

• Mahu meneruskan penguasaan dan terus menjadikan Sabah di bawah kekuasaan mereka sebagai ‘Fix Deposit’.

• Tidak komited menyelesaikan masalah Pendatang Tanpa Izin di Sabah kerana kehadiran PTI di Sabah adalah survival politik Agenda Malaya.

Agenda Malaya yang dibawakan oleh pr pula adalah seperti berikut;

• Mengambil alih kekuasaam BN/UMNO di Sabah dan terus mengekalkan kekuasaan Malaya terhadap politik dan sumber Sabah. Manakala kedudukan Sabah dan Sarawak akan terus dilayan sebagai salah satu dari 13 buah negeri di Malaysia, seperti pada Perkara 2 dalam Buku Jingga. Sama ertinya dengan mengeluarkan Sabah dari mulut buaya dan memasukkannya ke dalam mulut naga.

• Menganggap bahawa 5% yang dibayar kerajaan sekarang kepada Sabah adalah royalti dan menawarkan meningkatkan ‘royalti’ ini sehingga 20%. PKR tidak mempunyai asas dalam tawaran ini dan tidak jelas sama ada royalti atau sagu hati. Terus menguasai minyak Sabah.

• Hanya menyemak semula dasar perkapalan dan kalau ternyata tidak berpihak kepada Malaya, ia akan dikekalkan. Malaya didahulukan dan Sabah di kemudiankan.

• Meneruskan usaha UMNO yang mengukuhkan kedudukan ketuanan Melayu di Sabah.

• Sebarang keputusan pemimpin tempatan harus merujuk kepada kepimpinan Kuala Lumpur.

• Mahu mempergunakan dan menjadikan parti-parti tempatan Sabah di bawah kekuasaannya dan mengambil alih ‘Fix Deposit’ dari UMNO.

• Tidak komited menyelesaikan masalah Pendatang Tanpa Izin di Sabah kerana kehadiran PTI di Sabah adalah survival politik Agenda Malaya.

Sila buat perbandingan perbezaan Agenda Malaya yang dibawakan menerusi kedua-dua barisan parti-parti politik malaya ini. Adakah terdapat perbezaan yang jelas? Atau lebih kurang sama saja? Tambah, tolak, bahagi dan darab tetap mendapat jawapan yang sama iaitu Agenda Malaya Mesti Diperkuatkan di Bumi Borneo ini.

Kesimpulannya adalah kedua BN/UMNO dan PR/PKR mempunyai agenda yang sama iaitu mengekalkan dan mengukuhkan penguasaan Malaya terhadap Sabah. Kedua mereka tidak menghormati semua dokumen yang membawa kepada Perjanjian Malaysia. Mereka mahu mengurus Sabah mengikut acuan Malaya. Orang Sabah yang menyokong agenda mereka ini diistilahkan sebagai ‘Barua Malaya’. Perubahan kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak akan membebaskan Sabah dari jajahan Malaya selagi parti-parti politik Sabah berada di bawah kekuasaan Parti Malaya. Apa pun tawaran dalam Buku Jingga Pakatan Rakyat atau Manifesto Barisan Nasional, ia tidak akan membawa perubahan kedudukan Sabah dalam kekuasaan Malaya.

Perbandingan BN dengan PR dalam penerangan ini memfokuskan kepada Negara Sabah. 

Mengapa tidak melibatkan BN Sarawak?

Ini kerana BN Sarawak ditadbir oleh parti-parti tempatan Sarawak yang memerintah tanpa tunduk kepada telunjuk jari malaya. Atas sebab itu mengapa malaya amat menggeruni kepimpinan BN Sarawak kerana pengaruh malaya dapat dihalang daripada merebak di Bumi Kenyalang.

Bagaimana pula dengan PR Sarawak?

Adakah pr Sarawak amat berpengaruh di Negara Sarawak? Sudah tentu tidak. Atas sebab itulah mengapa BN Sarawak bertambah kukuh kerana rakyat Negara Sarawak mempunyai kefahaman yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan Bangsa Negara Sabah kerana Bangsa Negara Sabah telah memimpin rakyat Negara Sabah untuk tunduk kepada malaya. Namun, kini keadaan sudah berubah yang mana rakyat Bangsa Negara Sabah kini akan menyingkirkan mana-mana pemimpin yang membawa agenda malaya setelah kesedaran demi kesedaran telah disampaikan oleh pihak SSKM dan juga para pejuang-pejuang Kebangsaan Negara Sabah.

Adakah kesedaran ini mampu memberi impak/kesan kepada PRU14?

Kita bersama-sama melihat hasilnya nanti.

Adakah pihak SSKM menyokong BN Sarawak?

Setakat ini, adakah anda ada terjumpa mana-mana kenyataan rasmi SSKM yang menyatakan SSKM menyokong BN Sarawak? Pemerintahan Kerajaan Negara Sarawak MESTI ditentukan oleh Rakyat Bangsa Negara Sarawak itu sendiri. Jikalau mahu menukar kerajaan yang sedia ada sekarang, seharusnya dan semestinya ditentang atau disaingi oleh parti-parti tempatan Pembangkang sahaja dan BUKAN PR!

Perjuangan SSKM bukan berjuang berlandaskan kepada parti-parti politik seperti yang dilemparkan oleh semua pemimpin-pemimpin tempatan mahupun luar (malaya). SSKM berjuang bukan berlandaskan kepada kefahaman dan kepentingan parti politik tetapi adalah berlandaskan kepada Perjuangan Bangsa sebenar Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak yang mahukan Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak ditadbir sepenuhnya oleh rakyat Asal TANPA mengikut telunjuk orang luar. SSKM mahu Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak yang dahulunya sebuah Negara yang Merdeka dan Berdaulat untuk KEMBALI SEMULA kepada status ASAL agar dapat membangunkan Bangsanya dengan semaksima yang mungkin dengan Kuasa Kemerdekaan dan Kuasa Kedaulatan yang dimiliki nanti.

SSKM mahu menyerahkan tugas pemerintahan Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak ini kepada parti-parti politik tempatan yang TULEN agar berlaku satu persaingan sihat tanpa campur tangan daripada pihak luar ataupun pengaruh luar agar dapat melahirkan kepimpinan ASLI dan TULEN yang akan BERJUANG dan MEMPERTAHANKAN KUASA KEMERDEKAAN DAN KUASA KEDAULATAN NEGARA SABAH DAN NEGARA SARAWAK TANPA GENTAR SEKALIPUN BERDEPAN DENGAN KUASA LUAR. Contohnya seperti Negara Singapura, Negara Korea Selatan, Negara Jepun, Negara Australia dan sudah tentunya UK.

SSKM mengimpikan kepesatan ekonomi yang maksima justeru itu menghapuskan kemiskinan di Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak dengan kelimpahan rezeki yang bakal dikecapi melalui perkongsian kekayaan daripada pentadbiran Kerajaan yang Adil dan Saksama.

SSKM juga mengimpikan hubungan sosial yang baik dan konstruktif secara berterusan diantara etnik-etnik yang wujud pada kedua-dua Bangsa, iaitu Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak yang selama ini telah lama wujud.

Sememangnya perjuangan SSKM ini didokong oleh majoriti pemimpin-pemimpin dan penyokong-penyokong bn-umno dan pr tetapi mereka menyokong atas kapasiti individu tanpa mewakili parti politik mereka. Dan demikian juga bahawa SSKM juga mendapat sokongan daripada parti-parti tempatan pembangkang seperti parti STAR, SAPP, USNO dan seterusnya. Tapi sekali lagi, mereka menyokong bukan mewakili parti politik mereka tetapi atas kapasiti individu sebagai Rakyat Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak. 

Adakah anda faham sekarang? Jikalau ya mohon sebarkan.

'Negara Sarawak' dan 'Negara Sabah' membentuk Persekutuan Malaysia 

KUCHING: Komen terbuka Professor Mohammad Agus Yusoff untuk menghentikan kenyataan keluar Malaysia ternyata menimbulkan ketidakpuashatian kepada penduduk Sabah dan Sarawak terutama sekali para pejuang nasionalis Borneo.

Aktivis Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM), Abdul Halim Hamdian berkata kenyataan Agus baru-baru ini menunjukkan bahawa beliau begitu cetek pengetahuannya berkenaan perlembagaan dan asas sesebuah perlembagaan.

“Persekutuan Malaysia sebenar telah lama pupus kerana perbuatan Kerajaan Persekutuan yang membuang Singapura pada 9 Ogos 1965 tanpa kebenaran daripada kerajaan Sabah dan Sarawak.

Jika perlembagaan Malaysia yang dilanggar, adakah ia versi 1963 atau versi 1976?” soal Halim.

“Yang Dipertua Negeri Sarawak ketujuh, Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud telah mengangkat sumpah menggunakan teks 1963 dan bukan teks pasca 1976.

“Ini kerana hak perlembagaan menunjukkan ‘Negara Sarawak’ dan ‘Negara Sabah’ membentuk Persekutuan Malaysia tanpa menghilangkan taraf kenegaraan mereka tetapi diturun taraf pada tahun 1976 yang setaraf negeri Melaka yang lebih kecil daripada bahagian Mukah dari sudut hak dan kuasa perlembagaannya,” tambah Halim.

Sementara itu, Presiden Persatuan Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak (SAPA), Lina Soo berkata semangat nasionalisme Sabah dan Sarawak pada tahap yang tertinggi dan momentum ini perlu diteruskan.

Dalam masa yang berasingan, Presiden Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BOPIM), Daniel John Jambun, berkata semangat nasionalisme Malaysia ‘tidak diperlukan’.

“Bagi saya, tiada perasaan nasionalisme terhadap Malaysia. Jadi persoalan mengenai menjadi patriotik tidak perlu dibangkitkan beliau (Agus), “Bagaimanapun, tidak ada asas yang kukuh lagi bagi Sabah dan Sarawak untuk berada dengan Persekutuan termasuk Tanah Melayu.” tambah beliau.

Sarawak dan Sabah tetap kekal identiti kenegaraannya 

Halim turut menuntut Prof. Agus membuktikan bahawa Kelantan telah menandatangani Perjanjian Malaysia pada 1963 kerana beliau menyamakan Kelantan setaraf Sabah dan Sarawak.

“Andaikata pihak Persekutuan Malaya pula mengatakan bahawa mereka mewakili negeri-negeri di Malaya, maka mereka hendaklah mendedahkan surat rasmi dari setiap kerajaan negeri di Malaya mengenai pembentukan Malaysia.

Jika ada sekalipun, ia tidak akan menggugat fakta bahawa Sarawak dan Sabah tetap kekal identiti kenegaraannya, maka membentuk Malaysia atas dasar bersama dengan penuh ikhlas.

Tidak menjadi kesalahan juga untuk Negara Sarawak dan Negara Sabah memisahkan diri setelah mereka memutuskan bahawa keikhlasan mereka telah dikhianati oleh Persekutuan Malaya yang menguasai Persekutuan Malaysia melalui Perlembagaan Malaysia versi pasca 1976,” tegas beliau.

Tinjauan FMT juga mendapati gerakan-gerakan nasionalisme Sabah Sarawak bergerak sangat aktif di laman sosial yang membincangkan isu-isu berkaitan sejarah dan kenegaraan.

Sabah and Sarawak is a direct result of poor governance and management of the natural resources in the two countries.

Sabah and Sarawak is grossly under develop

BN led by UMNO has not given priorities to Sabah and Sarawak in development. The education materials used in schools in Malaysia ignore the special status of the countries and their histories. Today – Malaya population refer to Sarawak as another two States in Malaysia when in actual fact, Sabah and sarawak are equal partners in Malaysia.

State Federal relation brought down to the level of the Federated Malay States before Malaysia was formed

All these happened because the Federal governmnet is working slowly but surely to diminish the power of the State government in Sabah and Sarawak.

The perception of young voters

Young voters in Sabah and Sarawak will have to decide on the future of the current based on what lies in ahead for the two countries if it still be part of the Federation of Malaysia.

The promised projects in the various Malaysia’s Plan most of the time never materialized as much fund has been abused and misdirected. The amount allocated are too small while the revenue from Sabah and Sarawak are substantial.

Why is Muslim only allow to lead the government in Sabah and Sarawak?

Basically, UMNO wanted to see only Malay Muslim ruling Sabah Sarawak. It is a form of colonization that the young voters are not happy about.

One thing will lead to another and hopefully some political changes will be made otherwise the future of Malaysia would be a very rough soon.

Election result in not a good indicator

Election result is not a good indication of Sabah Sarawak support for Malaysia because of vote buying and also the poor and deceitful role played by the Election Commission.

Contemplating pulling out of Malaysia

A group of prominent politicians and social activists from East Malaysia are seriously contemplating pulling out Sabah and Sarawak from the Federation of Malaysia.

They are planning to take up their case to the United Nations to hold a referendum on the status of the Borneo states as independent nations.

They no longer want their states to be under the clutches of the Umno-led Putrajaya administration.

No more UMNO rule from Putra Jaya

The group has already sought legal advice from the international community to explore all orderly and democratic means to legally declare Sabah and Sarawak as separate sovereign states.

Sources said the group was keen to avoid any civil unrest, bloodshed and armed conflict with the central government, features usually associated with separatist movements.

“They want to resolve the pressing issue by peaceful and civilised means,” said the source.

Meeting taking place in Indonesia

It’s learnt that about seven representatives from the group met London-based Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) chairman P Waytha Moorthy in Indonesia early this week to discuss the matter.

Sources close to the group said the activists sought Waytha Moorthy’s help to facilitate their imminent representation in the UN.

It’s learnt that Waytha Moorthy had agreed to assist them, with the help of several influential international organisations.

Waytha Moorthy recently facilitated a group of activists to air their grouses and grievances against the federal government at the UK Parliament.

‘Systematic looting and plundering’

The group of activists are deeply perturbed by the federal government’s alleged violations of the states’ rights, interests and benefits for more than four decades since the formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.

“The group is angry over the systematic looting and plundering of the states’ wealth by Umno and its cronies,” said a source.

Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and Singapore formerly joined Malaysia in 1963. However, Singapore left the Federation in 1965.

To follow Singapore step

The Sabah and Sarawak activists believe that just like Singapore, their states too can pull out from Malaysia.

Sabah and Sarawak are two natural resources rich provinces in Malaysia, with massive wealth potentials in oil reserves and forestry.

However, Sabahans and Sarawakians are convinced that they have remained poor due to the federal government’s “manipulation and usurpation” of their power to self-determine their own affairs.

Unhappy over petro dollars

They are crying foul over the mere five percent royalty cut received for their own oil, while the Putrajaya administration “steals” 95 percent of petro dollars.

“People from both Sabah and Sarawak realise that they are being short-changed. They know there has been daylight robbery of their god-given richness,” said a source.

Another contentious issue is the existence of an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrants as rightful citizens in Sabah.

Sabahans termed the illegal immigrants, mostly Filipino and Indonesian Muslims, as former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s legacy.

“The government since under Mahathir has systematically brought in these aliens and granted them citizenships. These aliens are now legal MyKad holders in Sabah. It’s absolutely outrageous and ludicrous,” said the source.

The illegal immigrant issue in Sarawak is not as disturbing as in Sabah although it is equally damaging.

‘Raping of forest wealth’

The major issue in Sarawak is the “raping of state forest wealth” by the Umno-backed Taib Mahmud’s government at the expense of the indigenous population.

The natives are also disgruntled by the usurpation of their customary land rights by the authorities despite a recent apex court ruling against it.

Sabahans and Sarawakians are also said to be peeved with the “Malay-nisation and Islamisation” process of their states’ bureaucracy and political systems.

Activists claimed that the federal government had appointed native Muslims to helm various ministerial portfolios and government departments to hasten and fasten this process.

“These Muslim leaders and bureaucratic heads are puppets dancing to the tune played by their masters in Putrajaya,” said the source.

Saya dilahirkan di Sabah, Borneo Utara. Saya pernah bekerja untuk seorang akauntan dan juga untuk Hakim Australia. Hidup di Borneo ini lebih sengsara kerana penggunaan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan Malaysia. Sebagai respon, saya mula mengambil peranan sebagai salah seorang peneraju kumpulan Facebook Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) bagi tujuan untuk menjalankan kempen kesedaran dan pendidikan untuk penduduk Borneo Utara (Sabah dan Sarawak). 

Selepas 3 tahun, saya dan rakan saya telah membuat keputusan untuk mendaftarkan kumpulan SSKM dengan nama Kesatuan Sabah Sarawak (Sabah Sarawak Union-SSU) di UK, di bawah bidang Kuasa United Kingdom. Kempen kami telah berkembang dalam masa 4 tahun. Kesannya, kesedaran lebih jelas dikalangan generasi muda yang semakin meningkat di negara kita. Warga veteran sudah mulai mengganggu dan kami berharap lebih ramai akan  menyedari kebenaran tentang status Borneo Utara, (Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak) yang telah disembunyikan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan Malaysia selama 51 tahun. 

Saya, secara peribadi, tidak bersetuju dengan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (Malaysia) dan Akta Hasutan (Malaysia) yang melanggari Hak Asasi Manusia. Saya percaya ramai rakyat di Borneo juga bersetuju dengan saya. 

Dalam reaksi kepada kempen kesedaran ini terhadap ketidakadilan dan pencabulan hak asasi manusia, Kerajaan Malaysia telah membuat keputusan untuk meletakkan nama saya ke dalam senarai mereka di bawah (melakukan suatu kesalahan) Akta Hasutan. Saya juga kecewa terhadap Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Polis Sabah kerana telah mengeluarkan satu kenyataan palsu bahawa pasukannya telah berusaha untuk menghubungi saya untuk tujuan siasatan kerana yang sebenarnya, saya langsung tidak mendapat sebarang panggilan daripada pihak Polis Sabah melalui apa-apa cara sekalipun.

Dalam hal ini, saya ingin menegaskan kepada Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Polis Sabah, Datuk Jallaluddin atau wakil-wakil Kerajaan Malaysia, seperti Pejabat Kementerian Dalam Negeri Malaysia dan juga Perdana Menteri, untuk mengemukakan bukti dan saya akan berdiri di mahkamah United Kingdom untuk mencabar beliau dan tuduhan Kerajaan Malaysia. Kita tidak perlu takut kepada kebenaran dan KEADILAN TIDAK PERLU DINAFIKAN.

(CNN) -- On September 18, Scots go to the polls to vote on the future of their country.

It's a vote that could end Scotland's 307-year union with England and Wales as Great Britain -- and see it launch into the world as an independent nation of some 5.3 million people.

When campaigning began, that seemed a far-fetched prospect. But the most recent polls suggest that what many Britons consider unthinkable could happen -- and the United Kingdom as we know it could be torn asunder.

Here's what you need to know about the landmark referendum.

 UK and Scotland ready to divorce? Expert: Scottish vote hinges on economy Scotland to decide on full independence

What are the Scottish voting on, and why?

Voters will be presented with a simple yes/no question: Should Scotland be an independent country?

The Scottish government, led by the Scottish National Party, says this is a "once in a generation opportunity" for Scotland's people to take control of the decisions that affect them most. A "yes" vote means that "Scotland's future will be in Scotland's hands," it says, and that life will be better and fairer for its people.

British Prime Minister David Cameron wants Scotland to remain part of an undivided United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He says that it is a decision solely for the Scottish people -- but that remaining part of the United Kingdom will give them security and strength. "There will be no going back," he warns.

Because the United Kingdom has no written constitution, there's no established law to govern the process. So these are truly uncharted waters.

Why is this significant to the rest of the world?

The question mark over Scotland's future is already having an impact on domestic and international business. Some worry that the breakup of the United Kingdom could undermine London's standing as an international financial capital.

Last month, 130 business leaders published an open letter in which they warned of the impact of uncertainty over issues including currency, regulation, tax, pensions, EU membership and support for Scottish exports. A day later, more than 200 other business leaders signed an open letter backing an independent Scotland.

The British pound sank Monday after the first poll that showed the "yes" vote in the lead, with CNN Money reporting that it reflected uncertainty over the outcome of the referendum and an increased risk of a "messy divorce."

The UK's defense capability could be affected. The Scottish government says it wants to remove nuclear weapons from Scotland as soon as possible -- namely, the UK Trident nuclear submarine fleet based at Faslane. The Scottish government says, "It is our firm position that an independent Scotland should not host nuclear weapons and we would only join NATO on that basis."

Scotland would have to renegotiate its entry to both NATO and the European Union if it votes for independence. EU leaders have signaled they would take a hard line and make Scotland apply to join like any other independent nation. However, the "yes" campaign says it could easily be done through amendments to existing treaties.

If Scotland chooses to split from Britain, it could give other people ideas.

The debate is being closely watched by independence movements in Spain's Catalonia province, Canada's Quebec province and France's Mediterranean island of Corsica.

If Scotland votes to leave, the British Prime Minister will likely come under pressure to resign -- although he has told UK media "emphatically" he will not do so. The major Westminster parties have promised to devolve more powers to Scotland if it chooses to stay in the union.

Who can vote?

Thanks to a bill passed last year extending the vote to 16- and 17-year-olds, almost everyone living in Scotland who is 16 or older on the day of the referendum will be able to vote.

This means English or Welsh citizens who reside in Scotland can take part. But Scots who are living elsewhere in the United Kingdom or overseas will not be entitled to cast a ballot.

It also means that the residents of England, Wales and Northern Ireland get no say on a historic change to the makeup of the United Kingdom.

What's the history behind the vote?

Scotland has long had a testy relationship with its more populous neighbor. The Act of Union in 1707 joined the kingdom of Scotland with England and Wales, but many Scots were unhappy at being yoked to their longtime rival south of the border.

Since 1999, Scotland has had a devolved government, meaning many, but not all, decisions are made at the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh. In May 2011 the nationalist Scottish National Party, which had campaigned on a promise to hold an independence referendum, surprised many by winning an outright majority in the Scottish Parliament.

In October 2012, the UK and Scottish governments agreed that the referendum would be held, and the question to be put to voters was agreed on early last year.

Dauvit Broun, a professor of Scottish history at the University of Glasgow, said one driving force for the vote was the widening gulf between the policies pursued by the coalition UK government in Westminster, led by the Conservative Party under Cameron since 2010, and what the Scottish people want.

Many Scots are strongly opposed to the current Westminster government's attempts to reform -- or in their eyes dismantle -- the welfare state and say it was not elected by them. Illustrating that sentiment, there's only one Conservative MP in Scotland at present, leading humorists to point out that even giant pandas are better represented (Edinburgh Zoo has two.)

"Since the period of Margaret Thatcher, there has been a growing divide, and a sense that what Scotland feels consensus about ... has become more and more different to England," Broun said.

Looking further back, Scotland and England have been growing apart since the demise of the British Empire, Broun says. The decline of the Presbyterian church in Scotland, which provided a sense of self-government and Scottish identity, has also played a part in fueling the desire for independence, he said.

Who are the main players?

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond is the ebullient leader of the pro-independence campaign. Labour MP Alistair Darling, who represents an Edinburgh constituency, heads the pro-union Better Together campaign.

We obviously have a deep interest in making sure that one of the closest allies we will ever have remains a strong, robust, united and effective partner.

Barack Obama

The pair have taken part in two TV debates, with Darling widely judged to have come out on top in the first, by a narrow margin, and Salmond to have done significantly better in the second.

David Cameron has also spoken strongly in favor of Scotland remaining part of the United Kingdom.

It's not just UK politicians who are getting involved. Singer David Bowie, in a Brit Awards acceptance speech delivered by supermodel Kate Moss, pleaded, "Scotland, stay with us."

Former Manchester United football club manager Alex Ferguson also opposes a split and has backed the "Better Together" campaign. "800,000 Scots, like me, live and work in other parts of the United Kingdom. 

We don't live in a foreign country; we are just in another part of the family of the UK," he is quoted as saying.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who lives in Scotland, made a hefty donation to the Better Together campaign, and Beatles star Paul McCartney has signed a letter urging Scottish voters to stick with Britain.

The Yes campaign has its own celebrity backers -- including former James Bond star Sean Connery, actor Brian Cox, and comedian Frankie Boyle.

Actor Alan Cumming launched the Twitter campaign #goforitscotland. "What's happening now in Scotland is the most exciting political and social discourse that will forever change our destiny. Check it out!" he tweeted as the vote nears.

Even U.S President Barack Obama has gotten in on the act. He acknowledged it was a decision for the people of Scotland, but added: "We obviously have a deep interest in making sure that one of the closest allies we will ever have remains a strong, robust, united and effective partner."

What are the key issues?

Questions over the economy have dominated the debate.

The Scottish government argues the country would be better off after independence, largely based on its taking control of revenues from North Sea oil and gas found in Scottish waters. It says it would manage the energy industry better, invest to boost production, and create a wealth fund, similar to Norway's oil fund, to benefit future generations.

But not everyone agrees with the Scottish government's rosy assessment. A report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies in March said the latest figures showed Scotland's budget deficit had worsened relative to the rest of the United Kingdom, thanks to falling North Sea revenues and higher public spending north of the border. It also warned of the dangers of relying too heavily on a volatile and ultimately finite income source.

The Scottish government says the economy is diverse, with other key elements including food and drink, tourism, creative industries, universities, financial services and manufacturing.

Another big issue is what currency an independent Scotland would have.

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has said he wants Scotland to continue to use the pound in a currency union with the rest of the United Kingdom, and that it has the right to do so.

But the three main parties in Westminster -- David Cameron's Conservatives, their coalition partners the Liberal Democrats, and Labour -- have all said this won't be an option. The Scottish government responded that this was "bullying" from Westminster.

It's unclear what would happen to Scotland's share of UK debt if it's not part of a currency union.

What's the mood?

A series of opinion polls in past months has given the pro-union camp a lead. However, the most recent polls have shown that shrinking or disappearing altogether.

A YouGov poll conducted for The Sunday Times and released on September 7 caused waves when it showed the "yes" vote narrowly in the lead for the first time, excluding undecided voters. YouGov President Peter Kellner said it indicated support for the Better Together campaign had fallen "at an astonishing rate."

Of course, it's just one poll among many.

The latest poll of polls by ScotCen, an independent research center, shows the "no" camp hanging onto a narrow lead over the "yes" camp, but the gap continues to close.

Many in the Yes campaign feel they have a momentum of support that will build toward the September 18 vote.

But the No campaigners are confident they represent the silent majority who, after considering all the factors involved, will decide against independence.

What would happen if Scotland votes Yes?

Should Scots defy Westminster's expectation and vote "yes," there will be a flurry of activity to ensure everything is in place for Salmond's projected independence date of 24 March, 2016.

Upon confirmation of a victory, the Yes Scotland leader will put together his "Team Scotland" negotiating team. It is expected to include his deputy, Nicola Sturgeon, alongside a broad, cross-party group.

Cameron -- if he hasn't been forced to resign after presiding over the breakup of the UK's 300-year-old union -- will need to form his own negotiating side.

Chief among the matters up for negotiation are the currency union and Scotland's share of the UK's national debt, the relocation of the Trident fleet and even potential border controls. The "yes" campaign has said it intends for Scotland to remain part of the Common Travel Area, which allows free movement for citizens of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

Cameron will have to move quickly to avoid financial instability by giving a definitive answer to the currency question, and there has been suggestion that the next UK general election -- scheduled for May 2015 -- might be postponed until after Scotland has exited the union.

The Scottish government would have to set in motion a process to produce a written constitution. Queen Elizabeth II would remain head of state.

An independent Scotland would also have to negotiate paths to membership for both NATO and the European Union, two international organizations that the "yes" campaign says are in Scotland's future.
