WHY 'KIRAM' IS DREAMING

Why 'Sultan' is dreaming

Kota Kinabalu 27/03/2013: Sabah was free from any claim when it achieved independence through the formation of the Federation of Malaysia, according to former State Archives Director, Datuk Datu Tigabelas Datu Zainal Abidin.

He said independence was achieved through five charters which made Sabah free from any claim either from the Sultan of Sulu, Sultan of Brunei or the British which once called North Borneo their own, i.e. British North Borneo.

He said this during his talk titled "Sulu's Claim on Sabah: True Facts" in conjunction with the Ops Daulat Security Briefing organised by the Information Department at Wisma Dang Bandang, Tuesday.

• The first charter, he said, was when the Sultan of Brunei made an agreement with Alfred Dent and Baron de Overbeck on Dec. 29, 1877 followed by
• the second charter when Sultan of Sulu made an agreement with Alfred Dent and Baron de Overbeck on Jan. 22, 1878.
• "The third charter was when the British gave the North Borneo Chartered Company the power to administer Sabah on Nov 1, 1881, followed by
• the fourth charter on July 9, 1963, when we signed an agreement to join with Sarawak, Singapore and the Malay Federation to be free from colonisation.
• "The fifth charter is when the United Nations announced that the majority of Sabah and Sarawak wanted to be part of the Federation of Malaysia," he said.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FREE TO TAKE PART IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES

-------------------------------------------------------

Undergrads get green light

SERI KEMBANGAN: University students are free to take part in political activities now that Section 15(5)(a) of the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA) has become obsolete under the Court of Appeal's ruling on Monday.

Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said Section 15(5)(a) was effectively unconstitutional and violated the guarantee of freedom of speech as there was no order for a stay of execution on the ruling.

“Unless the Cabinet decides to appeal and the Federal Court overturns the ruling on Monday, the section is no longer valid,” Saifuddin told reporters after meeting three of the four Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) graduates who were plaintiffs in the case.

Saifuddin urged the Cabinet not to appeal the Court of Appeal's ruling.
