CELEBRATING NATIONAL DAY ON 16 SEPTEMBER



By : DAP MEDIA

DAP Sabah is disappointed with CM Musa recent announcement that Malaysia has been formed for 54 years and he even urged all Malaysians to continue to support BN government.

Junz Wong, DAP Sabah state assistant secretary said, Malaysia has only existed since 1963. To claim our nation is 54 shows how BN Government has continued to ignore the role Sabah and Sarawak have played in its formation.

“Malaysia as a nation is only 48 years old. Malaya became independent in 1957 while Sabah and Sarawak gained their independence in 1963. Shortly thereafter, these separate, independent entities agreed to come together and form a new nation called Malaysia. So Malaysia has only existed since 1963. To say otherwise is an untruth or a lie,” Junz explained.

To claim our nation is 54 is truly undermining the intelligence of Sabah and Sarawak. In fact, it more or less implies colonisation of the two east Malaysian states, as their independence from the British, before the formation of Malaysia, is entirely omitted.

Junz Wong, who is also KK Parliamentary Youth Chief, also expressed his disappointment that none of our Sabahan leaders have voiced out against such obvious untruthful statement.

This twisting of history has been carried out for so many years to suit the needs of the ruling regime, but I am sad to see even a respected Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa has not bothered to educate himself, as to the true history of our nation.

“How can we continue to rely on these leaderships to help Sabahans resolve our problems when they (being Sabahans) can't even acknowledge our own contributions and significances!?” Junz claimed.

Junz urged all Malaysians to unite under Pakatan Rakyat and vote for a CHANGE in the coming 13th general election, to regain Sabah pride and dignity.
