SABAHAN MUST NOT ALLOW THE 20 POINT AGREEMENT DITCHED BY POLITICAL MANEUVER

WHILE MALAYSIA IS BOASTING OF HER FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SUCCESS DESPITE OF WORLD FINANCIAL CRISIS, FEW AMONG THE CIVILIZED WORLD HAS KNOWN THE REASON OF WHERE MALAYSIA HAS OWED THE ECONOMIC SUCCESS THAT MALAYSIA IS REAPING TODAY. THE STATISTICS IS CLEARLY MANIFESTING THAT 5 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL HAS ALREADY EXTRACTED OUT OF SABAH BASIN IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS BY PETRONAS AND IT'S AFFILIATES. BY ROUGH CALCULATION OF 50 DOLLARS PER BARREL , THIS IS AN ASTOUNDING  250 BILLION DOLLARS IN FIVE YEARS.


THE OIL REVENUE ALONE MAKES THE SABAHAN FEELS PROUD TO ENJOY THE MULTI BILLION DOLLARS REVENUE TAKEN FROM THEIR OWN BACKYARD. THE TIMBER INDUSTRY OF SABAH HAS ALSO REAPED MULTI BILLION DOLLARS   AND ADD  TO FEDERAL MALAYSIA ECONOMY AS WELL AS THE PALM OIL INDUSTRY. TODAY, ANYONE WHO VISIT SABAH CAN SEE THE TRACE  OF THE ECONOMIC BOOM IN DEVELOPED CITIES LIKE KK AND SANDAKAN BUT NOT FOR THE ADVANATAGE OF THE SABAHAN SINCE EVEN THEIR LAND IS PRACTICALLY SOLD TO FOREIGN OWNERSHIP. THE SABAHAN LIVING 30 KILOMETERS RADIUS OFF THE LAND SOLD TO FOREIGN DEVELOPMENTS ARE BASICALLY LIVING IN POVERTY IN CONTRAST OUT OF MULTI BILLION DOLLARS EXTRACTED FROM THEM.


THIS REALITY AS COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL 20 POINT AGREEMENT PARTNERSHIP  SIGNED IN 1963 BY THE STATE OF SABAH AND FEDERAL MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT WAS PRACTICALLY BYPASSED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA AND  HAS LEGALLY VIOLATED THE RIGHTS OF THE SABAHAN  , IN THEIR EXERCISE OF 20 POINT AGREEMENT PARTNERSHIP TO MALAYSIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE MALAYSIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TAKING 95 % OF ALL SABAH REVENUE AND MERELY GIVING AN ALMS OF 5% TO THE STATE OF SABAH. THIS WIDE MARGINS OF PROFIT SHARING BETWEEN THE STATE OF SABAH AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA COULD BE THE MAIN REASON OF POVERTY OF THE SABAHAN.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA IS NOW CONTROLLING THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SABAH ,WHICH LOOK LIKE OFFERED FOR SALE TO ANYONE WHO CAN PAY FOR IT , LEAVING THE ORIGINAL SABAHAN FORFEITED OF THEIR RIGHTS TO OWN THE LAND SINCE THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO OFFERED. THIS IS PERHAPS THE WORST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO SABAH IN THE NEXT 10 TO 20  YEARS . IT WILL LIKELY TO HAPPEN THAT SABAHAN WILL BECOME DISPLACED, LANDLESS , HOMELESS AND HAS TO RENT THEIR OWN HOME AND LAND TO FOREIGN BUYER OF THEIR OWN LAND BEING SOLD BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA.


THE CONTRASTING VIEW OF POVERTY OF THE PEOPLE OF SABAH AGAINST THE WEALTHY KUALA LUMPUR EXPLAINS THE TRUTH OF POLITICAL MANAEUVER BEING EXERCISED BY THE FEDERAL MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT, THIS IS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS VERY AGILE IN THEIR POLITICAL MANEUVER BY CONTROLLING THE DECISSION MAKING BODY OF THE STATE PARLIAMENT, FROM THE CHIEF MINISTER DOWN  TO MP MEMBER AND WAS SAID   BEING SUSPECTED OF RECEIVING BRIBES TO PAMPER THE FEDERAL LEADERSHIP IN EXCHANGE OF THEIR VOW TO SERVE THE SABAHAN.
