This Malaysia Day, veteran politician Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has a wish — that the federal government led by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would be able to fulfil terms that led to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia.

“He failed to fulfill this under the documents to close the social, economic, infrastructure development gap between Sarawak and Semenanjung in his first term as PM from 1981 to 2003,” Wan Junaidi said.

Fifty-six years ago, the Federation of Malaysia was formed, in which the terms of the nation and all the undertakings and obligations to be fulfilled were spelt out in the Malaysia Agreement 1963, the Intergovernmental Report, the Malaysia Act 1963 both the UK and Malaya, and in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia.

Wan Junaidi, who is also Santubong MP, also hoped the federal government would spend the wealth of the country fairly and equitably based on the need in order to close the gap between Sarawak and Semenanjung, taking into consideration that an enormous amount of money that went into the government’s coffers was from Sarawak’s oil and gas.

“The federal government must look into the requests and demands of Sarawak in the ongoing negotiations.”

He added that all ministers must perform and those who failed must be replaced.

“The government too must enforce the law fairly and justly, and to truly let the rule of law prevail and not the law according to the whims and fancies of individuals.

“Let the court truly become the arbiter of law and not an executive decision of individual irrespective of whether his authority derives from the constitution or law,” he pointed out.

Wan Junaidi stressed that Sarawak’s racial harmony, religious acceptance and social integration must be preserved at all costs.

“Anyone who tries to cause disruption and friction must be stopped. Use whatever law available to us to provide that protection.

“Let peace, stability and harmony prevail in the country so that we can go on with our daily lives,” he added.
