Sabah 20-Point Agreement Sabah 20-point Agreement From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 20-point agreement, or the 20-point memorandum, is a list of 20 points drawn up by North Borneo, proposing terms for its incorporation into the new federation as the State of Sabah, during negotiations prior to the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963[1][2]. Some of the twenty points were incorporated, to varying degrees, into what became the Constitution of Malaysia; others were merely accepted orally, thus not gaining legal status. The memorandum often serves as a focal point amongst those who argue that Sabah's rights within the Federation have been eroded over time[3]. Contents 1 History o 1.1 Brief timeline of related events (1962) 2 The 20 points o 2.1 Point 1: Religion o 2.2 Point 2: Language o 2.3 Point 3: Constitution o 2.4 Point 4: Head of Federation o 2.5 Point 5: Name of Federation o 2.6 Point 6: Immigration o 2.7 Point 7: Right of Secession o 2.8 Point 8: Borneanisation o 2.9 Point 9: British Officers o 2.10 Point 10: Citizenship o 2.11 Point 11: Tariffs and Finance o 2.12 Point 12: Special position of indigenous races o 2.13 Point 13: State Government o 2.14 Point 14: Transitional period o 2.15 Point 15: Education o 2.16 Point 16: Constitutional safeguards o 2.17 Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament o 2.18 Point 18: Name of Head of State o 2.19 Point 19: Name of State o 2.20 Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc. 3 See also 4 References History The 20 points were written with a view to safeguarding the interests, rights, and the autonomy of the people of Sabah upon the formation of the federation of Malaysia. A 1 similar proposal, with certain differences in content, was made by Sarawak, and is commonly referred to as the 18-point agreement. Attention is often drawn to these memoranda by those who believe that their principles were not subsequently adhered to after federation. There have been numerous calls for the 20 point memorandum to be reviewed so as to take into account social, economic, and political changes over time[4]. Brief timeline of related events (1962) 21 March: At a meeting of the Greater Malaysia Committee there was agreement that it would be preferable to wait for the Cobbold Commission, which had been tasked with assessment of support for the proposal in North Borneo and Sarawak, to complete its report, in order to consider its findings before a decision was made on the federation of Malaysia. 21 June: The Cobbold Report was completed and submitted to the prime ministers of Britain and Malaya (confidentially). The report concluded that one third fully supported the idea, one third were in favour provided that safeguards were included, and the remaining one third were divided between those who would prefer North Borneo and Sarawak to gain independence prior to the merger and those who rejected the merger outright. The Commission's view was - firm support for a federated Malaysia (with transfer of sovereignty within twelve months), incorporating a transitional arrangement in which the British would remain for the first few years.[5] 31 July: The British and Malayan governments decided in principle that the proposed Federation of Malaysia should be brought into being by 31 August 1963. An Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) was to be formed to work on future constitutional arrangements.[6] August: The Report was published to all parties. Reportedly, this came as a surprise to North Borneo. 13 – 14 August: Donald Stephens convened a meeting of political leaders who drew up a 14 point (later 20 point) memorandum of minimum demands. This gained support from Sarawak.[7]. 12 & 26 September (respectively): North Borneo and Sarawak legislative council agreed to the formation of Malaysia on condition that state rights were safeguarded.[7] The 20 points Point 1: Religion While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia there should be no State religion in North Borneo, and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of Malaya should not apply to North Borneo 2 Point 2: Language a. Malay should be the national language of the Federation b. English should continue to be used for a period of 10 years after Malaysia Day c. English should be an official language of North Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal, without limitation of time. Point 3: Constitution Whilst accepting that the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should form the basis of the Constitution of Malaysia, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document drafted and agreed in the light of a free association of states and should not be a series of amendments to a Constitution drafted and agreed by different states in totally different circumstances. A new Constitution for North Borneo (Sabah) was of course essential. Point 4: Head of Federation The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation Point 5: Name of Federation “Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya” Point 6: Immigration Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Central Government but entry into North Borneo should also require the approval of the State Government. The Federal Government should not be able to veto the entry of persons into North Borneo for State Government purposes except on strictly security grounds. North Borneo should have unfettered control over the movements of persons other than those in Federal Government employ from other parts of Malaysia into North Borneo. Point 7: Right of Secession There should be no right to secede from the Federation[8]. Point 8: Borneanisation Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible[8]. Point 9: British Officers 3 Every effort should be made to encourage British Officers to remain in the public service until their places can be taken by suitably qualified people from North Borneo[8]. Point 10: Citizenship The recommendation in paragraph 148(k) of the Report of the Cobbold Commission should govern the citizenship rights in the Federation of North Borneo subject to the following amendments: a) sub-paragraph (i) should not contain the proviso as to five years residence b) in order to tie up with our law, sub-paragraph (ii)(a) should read “7 out of 10 years” instead of “8 out of 10 years” c) sub-paragraph (iii) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in North Borneo after Malaysia must be federal citizen[8]. Point 11: Tariffs and Finance North Borneo should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff[8], and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit. Point 12: Special position of indigenous races In principle the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, but the present Malaya formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo[8]. Point 13: State Government a) the Chief Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo[8]. Point 14: Transitional period This should be seven years and during such period legislative power must be left with the State of North Borneo by the Constitution and not be merely delegated to the State Government by the Federal Government[8]. Point 15: Education The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control[8]. Point 16: Constitutional safeguards 4 No amendment modification or withdrawal of any special safeguard granted to North Borneo should be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Government of the State of North Borneo The power of amending the Constitution of the State of North Borneo should belong exclusively to the people in the state[8]. (Note: The United Party, The Democratic Party and the Pasok Momogun Party considered that a three-fourth majority would be required in order to effect any amendment to the Federal and State Constitutions whereas the UNKO and USNO considered a two-thirds majority would be sufficient.) Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its size and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore[8]. Point 18: Name of Head of State Yang di-Pertua Negara[8]. Point 19: Name of State Sabah[8]. Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc. The provisions in the Constitution of the Federation in respect of the powers of the National Land Council should not apply in North Borneo. Likewise, the National Council for Local Government should not apply in North Borneo[8]. References 1. ^ "No.10760: Agreement relating to Malaysia" (PDF). United Nations Treaty Collection.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The formation of Malaysia is a process of merging an independent state with British 'self-governing' colonies in Southeast Asia to form a new federal state. The merger was legally compromised involving three levels of comprehensive consultation from 1961 to 1963, namely the MSCC, the Cobbold Commission, and the IGC. There has been confusion among Malaysians on the meaning and history of Malaysia Day, which was celebrated on 16 September. Sabah and Sarawak are the 12th and 13th states in the Federation of Malaysia. Since 2010, the people of Sabah and Sarawak have begun to polemics about two historical dates, namely August 31 and September 16 which directly disputes the status quo of 'state' within the Federation of Malaysia. This article attempts to provide a historical perspective based on the major sources during the process.

    Domination, Contestation, and Accommodation: 54 Years of Title Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia Author(s) Faisal, S. Hazis Citation Southeast Asian Studies (2018), 7(3): 341-361 Issue Date 2018-12 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/237246 Right © Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 Domination, Contestation, and Accommodation: 54 Years of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia Faisal S. Hazis* This article traces the major contestations that have taken place in Sabah and Sarawak throughout the 54 years of their independence. The two major areas of contestation are state power and local resources, pitting federal leaders against Sabah and Sarawak’s elites. These contestations have forced the federal govern- ment to accommodate the local elites, thus ensuring the stability of Barisan Nasional (BN) rule in the East Malaysian states. However, Sabah and Sarawak elites are not homogeneous since they have different degrees of power, agendas, and aspirations. These differences have led to open feuds between the elites, resulting in the col- lapse of political parties and the formation of new political alignments. Over almost four decades, a great majority of the people in Sabah and Sarawak have acceded to BN rule. However, in the last decade there have been pockets of resistance against the authoritarian rule of BN and the local elites. This article argues that without accountability and a system of checks and balances, the demand for more autonomy by the increasingly vocal Sabah and Sarawak elites will benefit only them and not the general public.

  • University of Perpetual Help System-DALTA College of Law
    University of Perpetual Help System-DALTA College of Law FOREWORD Philippines maintains a dormant claim over the sovereignty of eastern Sabah based on the claim that in 1658 the Sultan of Brunei had ceded the northeast portion of Borneo to the Sultan of Sulu; and that later in 1878, an agreement was signed by the Sultan of Sulu granting the North Borneo Chartered Company a permanent lease over the territory. Malaysia considered this dispute as a "non-issue", as there is no desire from the actual people of Sabah to be part of the Philippines or of the Sultanate of Sulu. As reported by the Secretary- General of the United Nations, the independence of North Borneo was brought about as the result of the expressed wish of the majority of the people of the territory in a 1963 election. This research will determine whether or not Philippines have proprietary rights over Sabah. Jennylyn B. Albano UPHSD- College of Law 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION This research will focus on the History of Sabah and determination of whether who really owns it. As we all know even before our ancestors are already fighting for our right over this state however, up until now dispute is still on going. Sabah is one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is its easternmost state. It is located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo. It is the second largest state in the country after Sarawak, which it borders on its southwest. It also shares a border with the province of East Kalimantan of Indonesia in the south.

  • Cobbold Commission
    Report of the Commission of Enquiry, North Borneo and Sarawak, 1962 Also known as the Cobbold Commission 148 (d) Name of the Federation We encountered some opposition to the name “Malaysia”, particularly from a number of non-Muslim elements of the population in Sarawak. This opposition stems from the same cause as the anxieties about Religion, Language and the Head of Federation, with which we deal elsewhere in this Section. They all reflect the fears held by the non-Malays and non-Muslims that the effect of Malaysia will be to put them in a position inferior to that of the Malays and Muslims. We cannot see, however, that any other name would be appropriate in view of the geographical-historical relevance of the name of Malaysia and its wide current usage. We believe, moreover, that in fact objections to the name would not persist for long. We recommend, however, that the word “Malaysia” should be generally incorporated into the Malay language: at present it is widely translated into Malay as “Melayu Raya”. (e) Religion Feeling on this point ran much stronger. There are differences of opinion among the Commission. (i) Views of the Chairman and British members The non-Muslim communities are most insistent that there should be complete religious freedom as to worship, education, and propagation, in the Borneo territories. We recommend the insertion in the State Constitution of a specific provision to this effect. There remain the provisions in the existing Federal Constitution of Malaya that Islam is the national religion and that certain public expenditure may be incurred for Islamic purposes.

  • Is Malaysia a Secular Or a Theocratic State?1
    Is Malaysia a Secular or a Theocratic State?1 By Dato’ Seri Mohd Hishamudin Yunus2 10 September 2020 Let me begin by saying that, based on the Federal Constitution, Malaysia is a secular state and not a theocratic Islamic state. However, there is, at present, a perceivable lack of appreciation among Malaysians that Malaysia is a secular state and not a theocratic Islamic state. This is, to some extent, due to the fact that the issue had been politicised by our political leaders. For example, in 2001, the then Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad declared that Malaysia was an “Islamic state”.3 Let me say at the outset that this is a mere political statement and nothing more than that. With respect to the then Prime Minister, such a statement should not have been made as it may cause — and indeed it has caused — unnecessary confusion among Malaysians. In order to know whether Malaysia is a secular state or an Islamic theocratic state, we have to examine our Federal Constitution both as to its history and its provisions. For, only upon embarking such an exercise will we have a better and clearer understanding of the relationship between the religion of Islam and our system of government in the context of constitutional law. Historical perspective Therefore, let us examine the history of our Federal Constitution in order to determine whether Malaysia is a secular state or otherwise. On Malaysia’s historical development, in 1956 the Reid Commission4 was tasked with the responsibility to draft the Federal Constitution. This Commission came up with a report known as the Reid Report.

  • Teaching Form Five History in Malaysia: Prospects and Challenges
    HISTORY AND THE NEW MEDIA: TEACHING FORM FIVE HISTORY IN MALAYSIA: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES Shakila Yacob, Rosilawati Zainol, Ahmad Kamal Ariffin Mohd Rus University of Malaya (MALAYSIA) Abstract Digital history, is “an approach to examining and representing the past that takes advantage of new communication technologies such as computers and the Web. It draws on essential features of the digital realm, such as databases, hypertextualization, and networks, to create and share historical knowledge.” This definition comes from the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, one of the earliest proponents of digital history, whose web site showcases several digital history projects. In Europe and the US, such an approach or methodology is very popular and provides an effective teaching mechanism. However, in Malaysia, “digital history” is quite unknown and rarely explored by academicians or teachers of history at the undergraduate or even secondary-school levels. Even at the university level, there is not yet a course offered on digital humanities. Thus, this study seeks to instil awareness among teachers on the use of new media in teaching history. An educational history web site was created or developed to provides history modules that integrate the new media and innovative approaches in teaching Form Five History. A blog was also set up as another means of channeling information to history teachers in a more interactive, quicker, and easier manner. In summary, this approach has the capability to significantly impact the delivery of Form Five history and at the same time inculcate deep interest based on innovative, interactive, and attractive teaching and learning methods.

  • North Borneo, Known Since 1963 As Sabah, Had Since 1881 Represented the Last of a Dying Species, the Chartered Commercial Company
    COMMUNAL POLITICS IN MALAYSIAN BORNEO C. PAUL BRADLEY University of Michigan, Flint College HE ENTRY of the peoples of British Borneo into an era of mass politics has ~ been swift, almost entirely compressed in the early years of the 1960’s. Cer- tain fortuitous factors intervened to accelerate what originally promised to be a slow-paced process. These were chiefly: (1) the advocacy in May 1961 of an enlarged Federation of Malaysia by the Prime Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman, offering the option of independence by adherence to an established state; (2) the surprising momentum which the Malaysian proposal acquired between 1961-63, partly due to its firm support by British colonial officials in Borneo; and ( 3 ) the availability of existent Malayan political forms, particularly the Alliance concept of communally based political parties joined together in a governing coali- tion, which proved transferable to the similarly multi-racial society in Borneo. The rapid pace of this change was the more noteworthy, since the antecedent colonial tradition had been strongly authoritarian. Until World War II Sarawak had been for over a century the personal preserve of James Brooke, the &dquo;White Rajah,&dquo; and his heirs; North Borneo, known since 1963 as Sabah, had since 1881 represented the last of a dying species, the chartered commercial company. After the war both had become Crown Colonies with a British governor wielding all sig- nificant executive authority. Legislative councils with initially limited powers and restricted electorates were gradually becoming partially popular bodies. Yet within a period of less than three years, a complex multi-party system emerged in both territories, functioning by 1963 with the full accouterments of parliamentary democ- racy.

  • 2020 JOURNAL of BORNEO-KALIMANTAN (JBK) Revisiting Early Political History of Modern Sara
    Journal of Borneo-Kalimantan. Vol 6(1) 2020 JOURNAL OF BORNEO-KALIMANTAN (JBK) Revisiting early Political History of Modern Sarawak through the making of Stephen Kalong Ningkan as Sarawak’s first Chief Minister Stanley Bye Kadam-Kiai* Dick Lembang Dugun Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Malaysia Sarawak *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This paper narrates a political story of modern Sarawak from 1961 to 1974. The modern political history of Sarawak began with the conceptualisation and the formulation of the Federation Malaysia. The significant events that shaped and influenced the political history of modern Sarawak include: the British- Malayan Government meetings in November 1961 and July 1962; the setting up of the Cobbold Commission of Enquiry; the formulation of the Malaysia Solidarity and Consultative Committee (MSCC); the formation of the Inter- Governmental Committee (IGC); the signing the Malaysia Agreement of 1963; the controversies surrounding the making of the first Chief Minister and of the making of the first local State Governor; the cabinet crises of 1965 and 1966; the proclamation of the state of emergency in Sarawak in 1966 by the Federal Parliament which led to the removal of its first Chief Minister; and the establishment of the Sarawak Alliance and the Native Alliance. This historical account of the early history of modern Sarawak is not complete without the description of the ideas and the political struggles of Stephen Kalong Ningkan, the State’s first Chief Minister, and the
