No Discussion & Endless Disputes Lead Only To Deadlock | Broadcast: 8 January 2020
On today’s show, we look at how the issue of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 is now fully on the national agenda with proposed amendments being tabled in parliament. Unfortunately, it seems that no one can agree, either on the substance of the amendments or on whose fault their failure is. Senator Alan Ling of DAP and YB Jugah Muyang of PKR tell us that GPS are refusing to let it pass, while Lina Soo of STAR calls for less haste and more speed from all sides. It seems there is a lot of debate behind closed doors but, in fact, has there been enough?
Francis Siah calls Sarawakians to come to his forum on the subject, in the capital city of Kuching, where a way forward can be discussed. But perhaps a lesson can also be learned from Sabah. YB Arthur Kurup of Pensiangan complains that the process of town hall consultation in our neighbouring Borneo state has been abruptly cut short by the new PH government. How can they decide on an amendment when they haven’t yet polled the will of the people, he asks? Then Haji Ansari Abdullah, lawyer and long-term activist on the issue of autonomy, shares the Sabah experience of the town hall dialogue process, which made progress in the early days to provide a voice from the grassroots up to the corridors of power. With deadlock at the political table, perhaps it is time for this type of community consultation to provide an answer.
We also speak to George Young Si Ricord Jr whose NGO Hidup has been tending to two cases of community deprivation. Yet another village, this time Kampung Sungai Resat, remains without electricity as internal disputes between Tuai Rumah and 15 families mean no connection. Meanwhile, he also tells the plight of an elderly couple in Kampung Lintang who are consigned to live in a shack with no help on the way, other than from the NGO.
While the appointment of Maszlee’s replacement is still pending, the future direction of our education system still hangs in the balance. Cikgu Sambik, the Headmaster of a primary school in Suai tells us of his potential headaches implementing the teaching of Jawi in a rural location. Meanwhile, YB Chong Chieng Jen calls for calm as infrastructure improvements to rural schools will still carry on, he says.
Tune in for all this and more, including our usual Berita Menoa. Semoa Kitai Tau Bejako!
