M'sia Day on Sept 16 an accident of history
It has been said so most times that there is a myth "that Sabah as good as Sarawak joined a Federation of Malaya that was afterwards re-named Malaysia."
There is no misconception.
Go during a back of to a early 60s. Britain was effete, weakened by a fight as good as not prepared to cling to upon to colonies. Distant security similar to North Borneo as good as Sarawak of little or no mercantile or strategic worth had to be "disposed of" somehow. Parking them with a newly-independent as good as utterly fast Federation of Malaya seemed a logical choice, as good as so Tunku was arm-twisted to take in North Borneo as good as Sarawak to, inter alia, protect them from Sukarno's Indonesia.
Singapore had a own reasons for "merger". Lee Kuan Yew's People's Action Party, after dual critical by-election waste in Hong Lim as good as Anson as good as faced with a breakaway coterie called a Barisan Socialis with absolute as good as influential former comrades similar to Lim Chin Siong as good as Lee Siew Choh, had no preference though to find retreat during a back of Tunku's sarong or else face domestic better as good as oblivion.
The form of a arrangement of Malaysia might seem similar to a joining of 4 "equal" partners though usually a blind man would see it that way. The piece was for a alternative 3 to become 3 some-more one some-more members of a 11-member Federation... as a result a one some-more 3 points in a star as good as 3 stripes upon a inhabitant flag.
The constitution of Malaysia was just an nice constitution of a Federation of Malaya. The
paramount woman monarch became Agong of Malaysia instead of Malaya. In federal-State relationship, Singapore, Sabah as good as Sarawak were treated a same similar to Johor, Malacca or Kelantan.
Once again, I contingency remind domestic leaders to read up upon their story when talking about Sept 16, 1963. The planned date for Malaysia day was August 31, 1963 as good as all a records of a enabling legislations as good as ! enactmen ts in a British Parliament, a Malayan Parliament, a Legislative Assemblies of Singapore , North Borneo as good as Sarawak done August 31, 1963 as a day for retraction as good as reformation.
The delay to Sept 16, 1963 was to capacitate a United Nations fact-finding organisation (formed in a vain attempt to appease Indonesia's Sukarno that Malaysia was not "neo-colonialism") to finish a research as good as to report to Secretary-General U Thant. The 16th of September was never meant to be 'Malaysia Day', just an collision of history.
But a cheekiest partial of presenting Malaysia as a organisation of 4 equal partners contingency be that ... The Federation of Malaya was an eccentric nation as good as a member of a United Nations Organisation since Singapore, North Borneo as good as Sarawak were British colonies, with the
last dual barely wet during a back of a ears when it came to self-rule as good as administration.
Britain used a poke as a categorical counterclaim partner (the alternative being Australia as good as New Zealand) to force Tunku to pander to all a final done by North Borneo as good as Sarawak (Singapore indispensable Malaysia some-more than Malaysia indispensable it so was less demanding); as a result a 20-point agreement that was meant as a transitional protection opposite carpet-baggers from a some-more modernized Federation as good as Singapore. Today, to a shame of Sabah as good as Sarawak, some of a safeguards have been as good as are still being blatantly dissipated to deny entry to opposition politicians.
Sabah as good as Sarawak might good be justifiably peeved during their mistreatment by a inhabitant administration department for a last 50 years or so though misrepresenting story similar to what is done roughly ritually as good as annually around a beginning of September any year is not a solution.
I goal Cigma chairperson Jeffrey Kitingan will send me an call in to be a orator during a seminar, 'Malaysia 1963 - The Promised Revisited'! . My email residence is yfyap88@gmail.com.
