National Security Council Act, an Act to further curtail Sarawak’s Autonomy and position. Yet it is supported by the Sarawak BN

Posted: 25 Dec 2015 07:27 PM PST

The passing of the National Security Council (NSC) Act is yet another strong proof that the BN Sarawak has to toe the line of Najib and its UMNO counterparts in Parliament. It also exposes the hypocrisy of SUPP.
The SUPP President Dr Sim has on numerous occasions issued press statements expressing his objection to the said NSC Act on the ground that the provisions are unfair to Sarawak. Yet, at crunch time, when the Bill was put to vote in the Parliament, he and his BN Sarawak colleagues were all in full support for the Bill. It is with the BN Sarawak Members of Parliament's support that the NSC Bill was passed by the Parliament and became an Act.
It is clear that the provisions of the NSC Act are aimed to counter the autonomy demands of Sarawak.
Under the NSC Act, the members of the National Security Council comprises the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Defence Minister, Home Affairs Minister, Communication and Multimedia Minister, Chief Secretary to the Government, Chief of Defence Force and Inspector General of Police.
The Council is empowered under the Act to declare any area in Malaysia to be a "security area" based on what the Council deems as detrimental to territorial integrity, socio-political stability, economic stability, national unity, etc.
Under the Act, once a place is declared "security area", the Security Forces will move in and shall have power to arrest people and search and seize property without any Court warrant. They can even use what they deem necessary force against anyone in the name of carrying out their duties.
Basically, the power to declare an area "security area" is similar to the power to impose curfew in the heydays of the insurgency or threats by the Communists. But under the Act, the power now lies in the hand of the Prime Minister and his Council members.
I can list out a few real examples where the Act can be used to justify suppression by the Federal Government against Sarawak, especially on our autonomy movement in Sarawak:
1. Sarawak Government demands for 20% Oil and Gas Royalties.
• The Prime Minister may use the excuse that the 20% royalty to Sarawak will greatly reduce the revenue of the Federal Government and thereby cause economic instability to the country, and thus suppress all demands for 20% Oil and Gas Royalties.
2. Sarawak Government wishes to implement English as the second official language of the State.
• The Prime Minister may use the excuse that it will undermine the status of the Bahasa Malaysia and thereby affect the socio-political stability of the country or even use the excuse of affecting "national unity" to go against the State Government's said decision.
3. Sarawak demands for more autonomy.
• The Prime Minister may use the excuse that it affects the socio-political stability of the country and declare Sarawak as a "security area" whereby the Security Forces will take over the running of the State.
4. There are currently some demands for independence of Sarawak.
• The answer to that will be the Prime Minister using the excuse under "territorial integrity" to declare Sarawak as a "security area".
In gist, the NSC Act is an Act to undemocratically suppress any autonomy demands and movement in Sarawak. The Opposition (except for some PAS MPs) opposed the Bill strongly. All the BN MPs supported the Bill, including the Sarawak BN's MPs.
The BN MP's support for the Bills is despite the numerous press statements outside Parliament by Dr. Sim that the Bill is "UNFAIR TO SARAWAK".
Adenan's heroic image in Sarawak is also dented by the passing of the Bills. He may be the No.1 hero in Sarawak having the courage to speak up against the UMNO, but ultimately, when his MPs go to Parliament, they have to toe the UMNO's line, to the detriment of Sarawak's interest.
Of course, at present, the Federal BN Government will not use the NSC Act to suppress Sarawak on the demand for 20% Royalty and the autonomy movement. This is mainly because such movement in Sarawak is actually helping the BN to divert Sarawkian's attention on the RM2.6 billion donation and 1MDB scandals ofNajib.
If one day, the autonomy movement takes a more tangible form and poses a threat to the Federal Government, then the foundation for suppression has been laid and the NSC Act will be used to suppress such movement.
As the Chief Minister of Sarawak and also a lawyer, there is no reason that Adenan is unaware of the potential threat of the NSC to Sarawak. Then, why is he allowing his Members of Parliament from Sarawak BN support the NSC Act?

《国安会法令》再次证明，砂州国阵（包括人联党）只是巫统和纳吉的拥护者

Posted: 24 Dec 2015 08:01 PM PST

《国安会法令》的通过，再次证明，砂州国阵（包括人联党）只是巫统和纳吉的拥护者。 在砂州权益和纳吉/巫统利益之间，砂国阵只会选择支持纳吉/巫统利益。 它也再次的暴露人联党的双面人角色。
张氏指出，人联党的主席沈桂贤在报章上反对该法令，但是，到了上议院，他却和他的国阵同僚们一起支持，并通过该法令。
针对本月22日在国会上议院通过的《国家安全理事会法令》，张健仁表示，这法令基本上就是国阵联邦政府要对付砂拉越目前要求主权的最有力武器。但遗憾的是，砂州的国阵上下议院的国会议员，到了最关键时刻，都异口同声的支持该法令的通过。
张氏指出，在这项法令下，国安理事会的成员是首相、副首相、内政部长、国防部长多媒体通讯部长、全国政府秘书长、全国警察总监和三军总司令。而这理事会有权力，以国家领土主权、社会政治稳定、国家经济稳定、国民团结的考虑，宣布国内任何地区为"安全区"。
"一旦一个地区被宣布为'安全区'，军队或警察将有绝对的权力管制该地区，包括在没有法庭庭令下进行逮捕任何可疑人士、搜查或占据任何房子、店屋和产业以及使用任何他们认为合理的武力对付抗议份子。 这些侵犯基本人权的行使权，都将是由该'安全区'负责人做决定。"
张氏指出，这所谓公布'安全区'的权力，就是当年公布'戒严'的权力，而按照该《国安会法令》，这权力将由以首相为首的国安理事会去做决定。
张氏列出几个非常现实的例子，联邦政府可运用这法令来对付砂拉越甚至强杀砂州的主权：
1． 砂拉越州政府要求20%石油开采税，在该法令下，首相则有权力以'20%开采税若给予砂州，它将影响联邦政府的收入进而影响国家经济稳定'为由，运用该法令对付砂拉越及任何提出20%开采税的人士。
2. 砂拉越政府要以英语为第二官方语文，首相则有权以'它将影响国语地位及影响国家的社会政治稳定'或以'影响国民团结'为由，运用该法令对付砂拉越。
3. 砂州政府要求更多的自主权，首相也有权以'影响国家社会政治稳定'为由，宣布砂州为'安全区'进而以军事统治砂州。
4. 一些甚至争取砂拉越独立的言论，首相则有权以'影响国家领土主权'为由，宣布砂州为'安全区'进而以军事统治砂州。
"这《国安会法令》，基本上就是以不民主的手段，来压制砂拉越主权运动的一个法令。 反对党的国会议员（除了一半以上的伊斯兰党国会议员）都反对该法令的通过。 但是，国阵的国会议员，包括砂州国阵的国会议员却都赞成并支持这法令。"
张氏说，沈桂贤多次在报纸上指责该法令对砂州不公平，甚至在该法令被上议院通过后，他还在报章上发表言论说该法令对砂州不公平。 既然他非常清楚该法令对砂州不公平，为何他却仍旧在上议院支持该法令？
"这就是人联党领袖一贯的厚颜作风：国会外逞英雄，国会内当狗熊！ 最终，人民的权益都被他们的代议士在国会里典当掉。"
"同时，砂州国阵也是同一类，阿德南在砂州发表了'无惧联邦'的言论。但是，最终，到了国会，他的砂国阵国会议员全都成了巫统的拥护者，拥护巫统通过法令钳制砂州的权利。"
张氏表示，当然，联邦政府目前还不会运用这法令来对付砂州的这些争取主权或20%开采税的运动和言论。 因为这些运动目前还不成气候，而且更重要的是，它或多或少也可协助纳吉和砂国阵，转移砂州人民对纳吉26亿捐款和1MDB丑闻的关注。 但是，若有朝一日这运动有机会成功时，《国安会法令》将会被启动为压制砂州的工具。
"难道阿德南和砂州国阵不知道这法令的用意？还是知道但却不敢怫逆巫统和纳吉的意愿？"
