In the wake of parliament's refusal to debate the Malaysia Agreement, Amanah has invited Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to talk about the "non-fulfilment" of the terms.
KOTA KINABALU: Parliament’s rejection of a motion by Sabah MP to debate the 18/20 points Malaysia Agreement has spurred Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah) here to organise a public talk and round table discussion on the issue.
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah will present a keynote address at a discussion on the 20-Points Malaysia Agreement.
Amanah deputy president Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing said the forum follows parliament’s rejection of the motion which was brought by Penampang MP Darrel Leiking.
“Razaleigh has agreed to come and repeat a speech he gave at a forum held in Kuala Lumpur recently entitled “The Non-Fulfilment of the 20 and 18 Point Agreements with Sabah and Sarawak,“ the Tamparuli assemblyman told FMT Friday.
The organisers are also inviting other personalities to be panelists at the round-table discussion and once confirmed will set the date and venue of the forum, he said.
“The result and resolution reached during the round-table discussion will be further extended to the National Supreme Council of Amanah before formally present it to parliament for tabling,” Bumburing added.
Amanah Sabah, he said, shared Leiking’s disappointment at the Deputy Speaker’s decision.
“It all zeroes-in on whether the federal government has honoured their obligation to protect and honour the safeguard guaranteed to Sabah as part of the condition for Sabah to join in forming Malaysia.
“All these are clearly recorded in the Inter Governmental Commigttee (IGC) report and summerised in the 20-points safeguard which was incorporated in the Malaysia Agreements of 1963 and later enacted as Malaysia Bill 1963,” he said.
Bumburing said social problems arising from all these issues are now even felt in the peninsula and shows that it has reached unexpected proportions which needed to be aired in parliament.
He said the Health Minister’s statement that hospitals are now treating more foreigners than Malaysians in Semporna Hospital was an indication of the extent of the problem.
All this, he said, raises questions over whether the safeguards guaranteed to Sabah as outlined in the 20-point Agreement have been respected, honoured and implemented by the federal government.
