The 20 points safeguards for Sabah

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.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.

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.

4. Head of Federation
The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation

5. Name of Federation
“Malaysia” but not “Melayu Raya”

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.

7. Right of Secession
There should be no right to secede from the Federation

8. Borneanisation Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.

9. British Officers
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

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.

11. Tariffs and Finance
North Borneo should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff, and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit.

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 Malays’ formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo

13. State Government
a) the Prime Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council
b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo

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

15. Education
The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control

16. Constitutional Safeguards
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. (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)

17. Representation in Federal Parliament
This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its seize and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Singapore

18. Name of Head of State
Yang di-Pertua Negara

19. Name of State
Sabah

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.

Apakah yang sudah terjadi dengan 20 perkara ini? Hanya berapa perkara yang dapat dipatuhi dan berapa pula yang sudah diabaikan? Siapa yang sepatutnya memastikan perkara 20 ini terus dipelihara? Bukankah pemimpin2 Negeri yang terdiri daripada pemimpin politik? Pemimpin Sabah sebenarnya tidak ada taring, sangat lemah, mudah dipujuk dan mudah disuap sehingga sudah melupakan 20 perkara-kawalan keselamatan ini. Pemimpin Sabah harus belajar daripada pemimpin Sarawak, mereka lebih bijak, cerdik dan pandai memelihara hak negeri mereka. Sabah??? Contoh ketidakpatuhan perjanjian 20 itu yg amat merugikan rakyat sabah ialah borneosasi yang sepatutnya ketua sesuatu jabatan hendaklah org Sabah sendiri. Skrg ini...dan mungkin selamanya...kita masih dieksportkan petugas dari seberang sana yang kononnya lebih cekap...tidak masuk akal sama sekali.

salah satu prkara yang juga mengaibkan rakyat tempatan sabah ialah Petronas dan Felda di mana kedua-dua syarikat ini rakyat sabah tidak mendapat manfaat yang optimum. kita tak tuntut manfaat yang maksimun tetapi kita mengharapkan manfaat dari semua itu dapat di rasakan rakyat sabah.

Minyak sullah kollek, wang talla kasi cukup, tanah sullah paki puka, jawatan talla naik. Apa macam ooo??? Kita mesti bersuara, ini hak kita!!!

projek2 besar dibuka,empangan,,loji,,port,,adakah ni boleh membuah hasil d dlm sabah kelak? seperti jg di daerah N4 matunggong projek dibuka sperti empangan adakah memadai utk kemajuan rakyat momogun? pikir2 la yerr...pandai2 la yerr...

saya rasa kalau di kudat, kita perlu berfikir utk beberapa hal iaitu:

- Rungus perlu bangkit dengan menguruskan tanah mereka sendiri dengan cara itu daerah kudat maju dengan tidak perlu mengundang pelabur asing memonopoli daerah dan tanah nenek moyang kita. malu lah nenek moyang kalau macam tu..

jadi caranya ialah: orang rungus harus uruskan semua tanah milik mereka dan bukan bergantung kepada kilang2 yg di buka oleh orang asing.

masalah dengan kemasukan pelabur asing ialah:
- tanah2 akan di beli iaitu tanah NT akan jadi CL milik orang asing
- pekerja2 dari luar negara [pendatang asing] saja yang dapat peluang kerja
- kita hilang hak kepada tanah nenek moyang kita.

sebagai tindakan:

- Momogun Runguslah yang harus membuka peluang kerjaya di Kudat dan bukan orang asing.

- Apabila tanah mereka di uruskan dengan cekap oleh orang rungus sendiri jika sekalipun mereka ambil pekerja orang asing, tidak ada kesan sampingan di mana tanah bertukar milik kepada orang asing, cina atau orang semenanjung.

pastikan kita mewarisi tanah nenek moyang kita kepada keluarga kita rungus sendiri. jika demikian kita tidak menghina nenek moyang kita yg berjuang di zaman purba lagi utk menjamin kesenangan hidup generasi kita hari ini.
