DAP Sarawak's 'referendum for autonomy'



Democratic Action Party supports "the people of Sarawak Sarawak" Awakening movement of sand people. Because of the Awakening movement, helps improve the sand people's political consciousness, the unfair policy of supervision and defend the sand people's rights and interests.

As regards the referendum law demands S4S, basically a plebiscite law is a referendum to decide the country's Act of some important policies. For example, in Switzerland, referendums were held several times within a year, including City Council taxes will be increased, also must pass a referendum decided by vote of the people to decide. And the referendum law of Scotland is clear stated is that the Scottish independence referendum Act, the referendum referred to in matters, there is only one, that Scottish independence.

After I talk with S4S members of several groups, they called themselves just to fight for a plebiscite law, did not talk about sand State independence. This includes this April, S4S sand members in the press that they are not fighting for independence, is fighting for a referendum law, power to the people.

In August proposed referendum law motion

Towards the adoption of the referendum law, make the people more direct participation in government policy program, Action Party endorses. Therefore, I will be in August of this year the State legislature for a second this season, making a referendum law to move.

Although the referendum law is a major policy decision by the people of the Act, after all, it's just a program, rather than the ultimate goal. A referendum law passed, what is to be a referendum? S4S do not explicitly list their agenda.

Nevertheless, the Action Party believes that "the people of Sarawak Sarawak" people's Awakening movement, which helped defend the sand sand people overall awareness of States ' rights. Such as 722 gatherings, and more sand sand people more aware of the history. Therefore, the action party would support such a meeting, and gathering attended by party members and supporters.

Rocket 4 areas of autonomy

Action Party believes that at present Malaysia and Sarawak's political situation, to really defend the interests of sand people, we must be in 4 major areas, with sand State autonomy. Therefore, the sands last year, the State's Democratic Action Party launched its bintulu Declaration, emphasizing the struggle for sand State autonomy goals, actively strive for the sand States in education, medicine, police services and tax autonomy in these 4 areas.

Democratic Action Party put forward the autonomy of these 4 areas cover the following proposals:

(A) sand State autonomy
Primary and secondary school curricula prepared by the sand States, mainly sand State of social, economic, historical and cultural development and to strengthen the mutual respect of all ethnic groups of multiple racial, religious and cultural education.
Teaching facilities and hiring teachers, decided by the sand States.
Reinstate the Church schools use English as the medium of instruction, give parents a choice to send their children into reading Chinese, English or Chinese medium schools.
Fair funding sources;
For those who have the certificate issued by the authority of the international level (including independent examination diploma), granting official recognition.
Performance and principles of social justice, awarded government scholarships.

(B) sand State medical autonomy
Medical facilities and medical personnel at the mercy of sand by State Government. Reduce inefficiencies and waste in centralized systems, more effective for each area has a different situation, planning distribution of medical facilities and medical staff.
Reduced under centralization system, supply of drugs and medical equipment by the partisan control, layers of exploitation of the fishing event.

(C) sand autonomy of State Police Affairs
State police State Government took over sand, reducing the bureaucracy under the centralized system so that police officers can more effectively meet the needs of the people of this State.
Resumption of the past against Indonesia and sand were laid down dictates, Commando made up of natives of Sarawak (Sarawak Rangers) and border surveillance police officers (Border Scouts), to assist the police in the fight against criminals, maintaining law and order.

(D) sand state tax autonomy
Back to the Sarawak State Government, 20% oil and gas production tax and 50% all taxes collected from Sarawak (including consumption tax), to give the Sarawak State Government sufficient means, the planning and development of sand, sand State level can be equal to the Peninsular Malaysia peninsula.

Sand sand BN inability to fight for State autonomy

Originally, as the ruling party's State Government, is the best fight for autonomy, but sand sand State Barisan Nasional Government's inability to fight for State autonomy. Even the sand 20% oil and gas production taxes passed by the State legislature, it has been 14 months, still no context, just to hear themselves constantly says "went on to win." 5% mining tax to 20%, only an administrative decision, so difficult? The problem is lack of political will.

In addition, Adnan last month also raised the ' sand State autonomy ', however, is still a vague ' autonomy ', he does not want autonomy in the field of.

So, sand the State BN, as a member of a federal State, in terms of major decisions, or is the Federal State array to contain, not only for the sand people fighting for more rights, become increasingly abrasive State powers gradually handed over to the Federal Government.

Insofar as education is concerned, the original sand States in the field of education with a degree of autonomy, but in the 70 's and 80 's the education of the party autonomy, completely to the Federal Government. Today, the sand States in the field of education is not to speak and the power to make decisions.

In addition to the field of education, even sand State's largest infrastructure projects, which promote Pan-Lord Shiva in front of the engineering, ownership is falling into the hands of UMNO, sand the State Government can only play a supporting role.-SarawakLIVE
