PEMBERONTAKKAN WESTON DISEMBER 7 SEPTEMBER 1962


KENYATAAN VETERAN TNKU SARJEN MAJOR OTHMAN BIN HJ ISMAIL

Sarjen Major Othman Bin Hj Ismail

Sinopsis Perang Weston 1962

Pada awal tahun 1962 wakil Parti Rakyat Brunei telah datang ke Kg.Lubuk menyeru rakyat Weston yang rata-ratanya berketurunan etnik Brunei agar menyertai perjuangan Parti Rakyat Brunei menentang pemerintahan koloni British, bagi menuntut kemerdekaan dan menubuhkan Persekutuan Borneo iaitu Brunei, Sabah dan Sarawak. Walaupun mendapat sokongan rakyat dan mendapat kerusi penuh dalam parlimen Brunei, usaha menuntut hak kemerdekaan rakyat Borneo ini dihalang oleh kuasa koloni British, jesteru sebuah angkatan Tentera Nasional Kalimantan Utara (BorneoUtara) telah ditubuhkan diseluruh Borneo Utara bagi persediaan menuntut kemerdekaan. Atas dasar perjuangan ini dan semangat patriotik terhadap Sabah, hampir kesemua warga Weston bangkit menyertai perjuangan ini.

Pembentukan TNKU Weston

Setelah wakil Parti Rakyat Brunei datang ke Kg.Lubuk seramai lima orang yang diketuai oleh Leftenan Hj Mukti dari Kg Lubuk,Sarjen Major Othman Bin Hj Ismail dan rakan telah dihantar ke Kuala Belait, Brunei untuk menjalani latihan ketenteraan selama dua minggu. Senjata, uniform dan bom buatan sendiri telah diberikan sebelum kembali ke Weston untuk merekrut anggota dan menuntut ilmu persilatan dan ilmu kebal dari seorang berbangsa Timur Indonesia bernama Omar.


Serangan Balai Polis Weston

Pada 7 Disember 1962 Sarjan Major Othman Bin Hj Ismail bergerak dari Kg Lubuk setelah menerima arahan dari pusat mengetuai sebuah pasukan TNKU untuk menawan dan menyerang balai polis Weston pada masa itu hanya dikawal oleh seorang anggota polis Awang Tengah. Beliau ditawan dan diikat, senjatanya greener shotgun telah dirampas oleh Sarjen Major Othman, kesemua senjata senapang patang dan rifel telah dirampas oleh pihak Insurgen TNKU.

Pertempuran Lingkungan

8 Disember 1962 Sarjan Major Othman Bin Hj Ismail mengambil kedudukan strategik sekitar Kg Lingkungan antara yang turut serta ialah Rahman Bin Hj Ismail ,Idris Bin Matasan,Lamit Bin Ajak, Jepun Bin Besar dan Tassim Bin Jaffar. Serangan bermula pada sekitar 9:00 pagi apabila peninjau TNKU telah menyedari kehadiran sebuah kenderaan Land Rover Polis membawa Pasukan North Borneo Mobile Police seramai 6-8 orang menuju ke lokasi mereka dan berhenti tidak jauh dari kedudukan serangan hendap, tanpa disedari Pasukan Polis Sarjen Major Othman menggunakan .22 rifel telah memulakan serangan dengan menembak kearah kenderaan land rover, pihak polis terpaksa membalas tembakan kearah insurgen. Semasa pertempuran Abdul Rahman telah menyalakan fius dan melontar bom buatan sendiri kearah kenderaan polis, walaubagaimana bom tersebut berjaya dibaling semula dan meletup kearah selamat, hasil dari keberanian seorang anggota polis dengan beraninya mengutip bom tersebut semasa tembakan bertubi-tubi dilepaskan oleh anggota insurgen TNKU kearah pasukannya. Pertempuran berlanjutan selama 30 minit ini berakhir dengan kedua pihak berundur tanpa sebarang kecederaan.


Berundur

Sarjen Major Othman selepas pertempuran Lingkungan dengan seorang dirinya bergerak ke Limbang untuk memohon bantuan dari Pusat Tentera TNKU, setibanya di Limbang beliau diarah untuk bergerak ke balai polis Limbang yang ditawan dan telah diberikan senjata dan bantuan seramai 20 anggota TNKU etnik Iban Sarawak kembali ke Weston. Beliau kembali ke Weston dan mendapati ianya telah ditawan semula oleh pihak polis dan kebanyakkan insurgen TNKU telah ditawan, beliau mengarahkan 20 anggota TNKU Iban untuk kembali semula diiringi oleh Pak Cik beliau bernama Ghani Bin Hj Ismail.

Perang Gerilla

Sarjen Major Othman setibanya di Weston telah bertemu semula dengan beberapa orang bawahnya dan mengarahkan anggotanya untuk bersembunyi di sekitar hutan Kg.Lubuk untuk persediaan melancarkan serangan gerilla ke atas kedudukan Pasukan Polis di Weston. Hanya selepas Ibu bapa serta jaminan daripada pegawai British sekiranya beliau menyerah akan diberikan pengampunan barulah beliau dan anggota lain menyerah.

Didakwa

Sarjen Major Othman Bin Hj Ismail setelah menyerah diri ,beliau didakwa dan didapati bersalah atas kesalahan merompak, memiliki senjata tanpa permit dan mencetus huru-hara oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Kerajaan dan telah dijatuhkan hukuman penjara selama lima tahun dan tiga tahun keatas insurgen yang lain. Beliau merasa tertipu dengan janji pegawai British yang menjanjikan pengampunan, selepas setahun beliau melarikan diri dari penjara Kepayan menuju ke Soloo (Mindanau) dimana beliau tinggal selama dua tahun, keadaan hidup yang lebih sengsara berbanding di Sabah telah membuatkan beliau mengambil keputusan kembali dan menyerah diri di Labuan. Hukuman 5 tahun kembali dikenakan keatas beliau dan beliau menghabiskan tempoh penjara selama lima tahun.

Grandmas Arrested In Lahad Datu For Alleged SSKM Activity; Fourth Such Incident In Sabah


LAHAD DATU: Two grandmothers are among five people who were caught by police at a petrol station in Tungku while refuelling their car on Saturday evening.

Three patrol cars with several policemen inside cornered the vehicle and ordered the occupants out, after which they were handcuffed and escorted to the police cars and driven to Lahad Datu town where they were held for questioning.

It is believed that this is the fourth such incident in Sabah involving people who police claim are linked to Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) movement but has yet to prove it.

Apart from last Sunday’s fiasco in Tuaran where nine people were detained for nine hours before being released on police bail, it is understood that similar arrests were made in Kota Marudu and Ranau previously but the incidences went unreported.

Former Chief Minister and Sabah Progressive Party president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee, who is also a lawyer, said he went to the police station upon being informed of the arrests.

“Apparently these police cars had been tailing them since they arrived in Lahad Datu a couple of days ago,” he said.

“I was told that they went to Lahad Datu to meet some people, but I am not so sure for what purpose,” added Yong who also happened to be ‘informed’ when nine people were arrested in Tuaran last Sunday, apparently for the same purpose.

Being a weekend, the five, aged between 22 and 59 were detained at the police station and on Sunday were taken before a magistrate who allowed a police application for an additional 48 hours on remand.

Yong was quoted by an online news portal as saying: “They were treated like criminals. All five, who have been linked to the so-called secession group, appeared tired, it was so pitiful.

“It was not like they were distributing pamphlets or signing petition at the time. They were at a petrol kiosk filling up the car.”

Yong said when he first met them they were handcuffed, with the two elderly women handcuffed to each other. He said the handcuffs were taken off when they were brought before the magistrate today for a remand order.

Police had requested for four days, but the court only granted two days, their remand ending on Feb 10.

Yong was also quoted as saying that they were told by the police that Inspector-General of Police (Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar) and Sabah Police Commissioner (Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman) wanted the five remanded to assist investigations under the Sedition Act and Printing Act.

He said that apart from the car, police also seized a few T-shirts with the “Hormati Perjanjian Malaysia 63” (Respect the 1963 Malaysia Agreement) written on it, and some leaflets.

A group of people had gathered outside the Lahad Datu police station, holding placards, demanding for the release of the five people.

Benarkah Tahanan Sukarelawan SSKM-SSU(UK) itu bersalah???


Pihak SSKM-SSU(UK) ingin menerangkan sedikit sebanyak mengenai insiden kali kedua yang melibatkan penahanan Sukarelawan-sukarelawati SSKM-SSU(UK) di Lahad Datu baru-baru ini.

Perkara yang sebenarnya berlaku adalah mereka didakwa dibawah akta hasutan dan juga akta percetakkan.

Adakah Perjuangan untuk Perpisahan itu menjadi satu kesalahan besar kepada perjuangan ini? TIDAK.

Mengapa?

Sebab akta persekutuan malaysia dengan jelas tidak ada menyatakan bahawa perpisahan itu adalah satu jenayah mahupun menyalahi undang-undang persekutuan. 

Mengapa?

Kerana ia adalah berpandukan kepada saranan Lord Lansdowne yang bertanggungjawab merangka Perjanjian Malaysia yang juga merupakan Pengerusi Inter-Governmental Committee jelas mengatakan bahawa mana-mana negara yang menyertai persekutuan ini dengan sukarelawa mempunyai hak instrinsik untuk menarik diri daripada persekutuan malaysia ini. Oleh itu, larangan untuk berpisah tidak seharusnya dimasukkan kedalam perjanjian malaysia.

Dakwaan yang dikenakan oleh pejuang Kebangsaan Negara Sabah ini adalah ditafsirkan sebagai hasutan yang sebenarnya belum mempunyai mandat yang sah dalam peruntukkan perlembagaan. Ini kerana ia hanya akan diputuskan pada 30 Mac 2015. Selain itu juga, akta ini adalah akta kerajaan persekutuan tanah melayu (malaya). Akta yang digunakan keatas perjuangan ini telah menggunakan akta perlembagaan persekutuan tanah melayu selari dengan definisi Persekutuan yang merujuk kepada "Persekutuan yang dibentuk pada 31 Ogos 1957". Mengenai isu percetakkan, ia adalah satu info kesedaran hak yang memberitahu teras perjuangan yang perlu disebarkan agar rakyat Negara Sabah khususnya mengetahui dimana fokus perjuangan harus diberikan oleh mereka.

Jadi, persoalannya, apakah benar pejuang-pejuang Kebangsaan Negara Sabah ini bersalah?

Dengan memberitahu bahawa Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 itu adalah TIDAK SAH DAN TERBATAL itu salah?

Dengan memberitahu perkara yang sebenar bahawa persekutuan malaysia hari ini adalah persekutuan yang ditubuhkan pada 31 Ogos 1957 dan bukan pada 16 September 1963 itu salah? 

Dengan memberitahu bahawa rakyat Negara Sabah dan rakyat Negara Sarawak bahawa mereka mempunyai hak untuk berpisah itu adalah salah? 

Dengan memakai baju yang memaparkan identiti perjuangan Join The Fight itu adalah salah? 

Dan dengan menyokong pengkhianatan dan pembohongan yang selama ini dilakukan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin malaya melalui sokongan barua malaya seperti bn-umno itu barulah ditafsirkan tidak menghasut malah dihalalkan? 

Jikalau itu yang menjadi rujukan kepada pengadilan ini, adalah menjadi kebanggaan bagi Rakyat Negara Sabah dan Rakyat Negara Sarawak untuk mempunyai pejuang-pejuang Kebangsaan ini kerana berpegang kepada prinsip bahawa Kebenaran MESTI DIJULANG dan PEMBOHONGAN MESTI DIJAHANAMKAN SEPENUHNYA!

***Pihak SSKM-SSU(UK) akan mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi dalam minggu ini untuk menerangkan secara rasmi perkara yang berlaku kepada umum.***

Sipaun: New Constitution can end unhappiness in Borneo


For a start, Malayans must no longer flood Sabah and fill up posts in Federal departments in the state.

KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah Secretary, Simon Sipaun, has called for the Federal Constitution to be brought in line with the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) to end the unhappiness in Borneo with Malaysia.

The Federation, he added, had turned out to be something that the people had not expected. “Much time has been lost during the last 51 years.”

“The problem between the peninsula and Borneo may be the different perceptions between them on Malaysia,” said Sipaun. “We thought we were going to form a new nation. It’s easy to get confused because we inherited Malaya’s flag, their national anthem and their constitution, among others.”

“They (the peninsula) claim that we joined them.”

He was commenting, on the sidelines of a forum in Kota Kinabalu, on Penampang MP Darell Leiking disclosing that he (Darell) was among the many who signed the SSKM (Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia) petition calling for a review of the 20/18 Points.

A new nation, conceded Sipaun, should have a new constitution, a new national anthem and a new flag, “not merely ‘transplant’ Malaya’s and call it Malaysia”.

Revisiting his theme that the Federal Constitution should be brought in line with MA63, he pointed out that “Federation” is defined under Article 160 as that set up under the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1948 and reinforced by the Federation of Malaya Independence Act 1957.

“Where does that leave MA63?” he asked.

Malaysia, nevertheless, can still have a bright future, he believes. “It all depends on the type of leadership we will be getting,” said Sipaun. “I still hope that the Government would be fair and clean and not misuse resources and assets.”

For a start, he said, Malayans must no longer flood Sabah and fill up posts in Federal departments in the state. “They have been doing this for the last half century and it must stop. There must be Borneonisation as pledged in 1963. We can’t have Malayans replacing the British.”

WHY 'SECESSION' IS A NON-ISSUE FOR SABAH AND SARAWAK


Look at Singapore how they have advanced from a 3rd world though physically small, developed beyond the wildest expectation into  an economic giant without any natural resources. It has been Southeast Asia's most modern city for over a century. Singapore having similar history with Sabah Sarawak offers us many good examples of good governence.

The legal precedent created by the unilateral seperation of Singapore - a break away from the Malaysia Agreement 1963 opens the door for Sabah Sarawak to exit similarly. If Singapore can do it Sabah Sarawak can do it too. This is not "secession" . To break away from the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is not "Secession".

In accordance with Article 160 of the current Federal Constitution ; Interpretation - the Federation is defined as 'the Federation established under the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957'. This definirion does not include Sabah Sarawak for the simple reason, Sabah Sarawak were/are never part of Malaya and never signed this agreement. As we all know Sabah Saeawak only signed the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

So legally for the past 52 years since 16 Sept 1963, Sabah Sarawak existed as Self-Governing States/Nations outside the jurisdiction constitutionally. There is no need for Sabah Sarawak to get out of "malaysia"; they are already outside : how to get out when they were never in on the first place; therefore the question of "secession" is a non- issue.

There can only be One Malaysia; based either on (1) The Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957 ..or.... (2) The Malaysia Agreement 1963.

Actually, "malaysia" as defined under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 was only conceived, proclaimed on 16 September 1963 and after that it was never realised , was abandoned and what was in place was the continuation of the Federation of Malaya 1957 withn a name changed to "malaysia" - Malaya and "malaysia" are one and the same international person - this was what the permanent representative of Malaya reported to the Secretary General of the United Nations on 16 September 1963 ; the day "malaysia" was proclaimed.

In order to adopt the Malaysia Agreement 1963 into the cinstitution, the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957 must first be abolished. This however is not as simple as it may seem, because if this agreement is abolished, it will set free the 11 states of Malaya free to independence; the oil rich states of Kelantan and Terengganu are too anxious to take full control and ownership of their oil wealth to be like Brunei and states like Penang, Selangor and Johor (industrially developed) would emulate the likes of Singapore.

Such being the case, from the current constitutional scenario, It is clear that ; there can only be ONE MALAYSIA ; constituted by :-

(a)  the Federation of Malaya Agreement 1957 which does not include Sabah Sarawak...or......

(b)   the Malaysia Agreement 1963 which does not include the 11 states of Malaya.

Sabah Sarawak can continue as they were Self-Governing Status which was attained on 31 August and 22 July 1963 respectively from the British in peace without any interference from any party. The natural option that is open to them  can always be to seek Self-Determination if the people wishes to do so ; by submitting a Petition to the United Nations for a change of their status from that of 'Change in Status' to that of 'Independence' peacefully without any interference from any quarters legally in pursuit of the United Nations Charter for Decolonisation as of right to be exercised at will at any time of their own choosing as protected by International Law.

"Ancaman dan Ugutan Terhadap Pemimpin Dahulu Kini Berulang Lagi"


Jikalau anda semua mahu tahu tentang bagaimana kerajaan persekutuan tanah melayu yang telah menyamar menjadi kerajaan malaysia mengugut dan mengancam pemimpin-pemimpin Nasionalis Kebangsaan di Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak dahulu ialah dengan cara yang mereka lakukan kepada pihak SSKM-SSU(UK) sekarang ini.

Liputan media siang dan malam daripada pemimpin-pemimpin malaya yang disokong oleh barua malaya di negara Sabah dan negara Sarawak untuk menghasut rakyat membenci golongan-golongan yang bercakap benar dan yang berjuang untuk menuntut hak.

Apa yang berlaku dahulu kini sedang berulang lagi pada zaman ini. Tetapi pihak kami akan memastikan teknik tersebut akan terkubur selamanya. Selagi Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak berada dalam persekutuan ini, selagi itulah mereka tidak akan berdiam untuk mengancam dan mengugut bangsa Borneo untuk tunduk kepada mereka... Inilah yang sebenarnya berlaku dahulu dan sekarang.

Bezanya sekarang ialah sistem komunikasi kini sudah maju dan segala informasi tidak lagi bergantung kepada satu sumber. Kita mampu membuat pembacaan lebih, membuat perbandingan serta kajian sendiri untuk menilai sejauh manakah kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh pihak SSKM ini dan sejauh manakah kebenaran tentang dakwaan pemimpin-pemimpin malaya dan barua malaya terhadap perjuangan SSKM ini. Maklumat sudah tersebar dan tinggal anda sahaja yang perlu memutuskannya. Mahu terhasut untuk membenci perjuangan ini atau mahu bersama-sama dalam perjuangan menuntut hak kita sebagai Bangsa yang Merdeka dan Berdaulat.

Anda akan mampu melihatnya... Perjuangan ini akan melahirkan Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak yang Berani dan Jujur dalam Perjuangan menuntut dan melindungi hak Bangsa Borneo.

Jangan sesekali memandang tinggi kepada kepimpinan malaya sebab mereka hanyalah golongan yang bergantung kepada sumber kekayaan Negara Sabah dan Negara Sarawak. 

Bukan kita yang perlu takut kepada mereka sebaliknya mereka yang perlu takut kepada kita...

Jikalau mereka masih mendakwa bahawa pihak SSKM-SSU(UK) ini terdiri daripada golongan minoriti, maka adalah menjadi satu cabaran untuk pihak kami menjadikannya kumpulan yang majoriti.

Demi Bangsa Negara Sabah dan Bangsa Negara Sarawak, perjuangan ini MESTI BERJAYA!

Anwar’s position on issues affecting Sabah, Sarawak have shifted – Bumburing


KOTA KINABALU: Parliamentary opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim seems to have shifted his position on issues affecting Sabah and Sarawak since the 13th general election, APS president Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Bumburing said.

“I am of the opinion that the people of Sarawak, and for that matter, the people of Sabah, would disagree with Anwar for saying that Sarawak is not a good example of an autonomous state in Malaysia,” the Tamparuli assemblyman said.

Bumburing added Anwar had based his analysis on the issue of poverty and corruption in the government to come to a conclusion that being autonomous, Sarawak had lagged behind the rest of the states in the country.

If that is what Anwar considered as the underlying reason for his analysis on Sarawak being still less developed compared to the other States, then why are the people of Sabah still poor today after basically losing her autonomy? he asked.

“I believe that Sarawakians still cherish the fact that, by and large, their autonomy as provided for and written in the Malaysian agreement had continued to be intact and preserved and they are ever ready to protect and defend their rights,” he noted in a statement yesterday.

According to Bumburing, Sarawak may be poor in a sense, but it is not because of them being an autonomous State. He added that Kelantan enjoys full autonomy and yet they are considered poor.

Anwar’s view on the issue of the autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak gave the impression that the people of Sabah and Sarawak may not be enjoying any sympathetic ears, even from a Pakatan Rakyat government, he opined.

“Anwar also avoided explaining the issue of the Malaysian Agreement, which stipulates an equal partnership between Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya, each time he is asked or confronted on the issue.

“He also did not say outright whether he supports the call by Sabahans and Sarawakians for a review of the Malaysian Agreement, which should have been done 40 years ago, but only briefly said that the unhappiness of the people had to be addressed,” he said.

Bumburing added that the ultimate reason behind the unhappiness of the people of Sabah and Sarawak is that the spirit of the Malaysian agreement had not been respected. On the issue of National Day, September 16th should be celebrated as the National Day because Malaysia only became a nation on that day and not August 31st. History cannot be changed.

The whole nation should celebrate this day and not merely declare it as a public holiday. Every year only Sabah and Sarawak celebrate September 16th while there are no celebrations nationwide. What is Pakatan’s stand on this? he asked.

According to Bumburing, Anwar also appeared to have shifted his stand on the illegal immigrant issue.

“During the election campaigning trail in Sabah he agreed on my point that many citizenships were given unlawfully to illegal immigrants in Sabah and he expressly said during most of his ceramahs that this has to be resolved,” he said.

“When he was called to testify during the RCI hearing, his tone was different. And now, he is talking about international norms and practices. My stand is that most countries do have migrant population, including Malaysia, but these are migrants who come into the country legally, except those displaced refugees.

“These legal migrants, after legally staying for so many years, can apply for permanent stay or citizenship via the normal process. However in the case of Sabah, Malaysian ICs were deliberately issued and given to illegal immigrants like ‘pisang goreng’ on the street. This is proven in the evidence adduced during the RCI hearings. It seems that now the government has put the whole RCI hearing and reports on the back burner.

“I have said in Parliament that the action by the government in giving away citizenship to foreigners is like inviting outsiders into our house and giving them a knife. The Tanduo intrusion can never be less than a stark reminder of what might happen in the future.

The government should not be unduly jittery on the so-called Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) group.

“I have said in the State Assembly sitting recently that the SSKM is likened to that of a son who was neglected by the father on his request for certain necessities for so long. After enduring a deaf ear from the father, he threatens to run away from home, raising red flag to the father to draw his attention. The real demand from the people is a review of the Malaysian agreement,” he stressed.

The government, he feels, should partake a positive approach by calling for dialogue and listening to the underlying issues instead of waging threats of arrest under the Sedition Act.

“Once again, I would like to remind the government that the real threat to national unity and integrity is the presence of huge numbers of immigrants in Sabah, many of whom were given ICs for short-term political expediency of those in power. The risk of a reverse takeover in Sabah is more than just a possibility in the future if the government does not take corrective step today,” he stressed.

On the arrest of nine people in Tuaran under the Sedition Act, Bumburing called on the government to relook their policy towards Sabah as a sovereign State within Malaysia.

As earlier said, the call by Sabahans for a review of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) has reached a pivotal point where the Federal Government must look into what short-changes they have made on Sabah in as far as State’s right is concerned as provided for under the MA63.

“These call for equality, for restoration of indigenous rights, which is clearly defined in the MA63, must not be construed as secession plot. It is not too late to call for a meeting among all the stakeholders and have a relook into the MA63 to rectify any wrongs that have been done,” he pointed out.
