I'm tired of Malaysian politics relying on scare tactics, guilt-tripping, and ethnic discrimination. Sabah deserves the assertion of autonomy and restoration of rights. We must demand real solutions and decentralisation, not old school political party loyalty.

Beyond Propaganda: Sabah Needs Autonomy, Not Shallow Love

Take a look at this picture in ads. Anwar claims he "loves" Sabah, but we need more than propaganda or superficial declarations. Sabah requires autonomy, justice, dignity, rights, and decentralisation. Not outdated political loyalty — what I call coercive tribal mentality. It’s about addressing systemic failures, not blaming victims. Shafie

My poll on the World App confirms a strong consensus: 68% of voters recognise Sabah and Sarawak as equal founding partners under the Malaysia Agreement 1963. This is a powerful affirmation against centralist narratives, and a crucial step for justice.

Deconstructing the Narrative: Singapore’s Exit and the Betrayal of MA63

Many people still rely on the simple, flawed narrative that Singapore was just "kicked out" of Malaysia in 1965—as if it were an unwanted problem to be discarded. As someone who cares deeply about factual clarity and systemic fairness over blind faith, I know this common misunderstanding obscures a

When 'Propaganda' Meets Principle: The Unwavering Assertion of Sarawak's Autonomy

The recent online reaction to a Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) account, which seemingly celebrated a Petronas victory in a legal dispute, has exposed a profound fault line in Malaysia's federation: the issue of Sarawak’s autonomy and resource ownership. Rather than focusing on corporate triumph, the public conversation

The 40% Question: Sabah's Right vs. Federal Excuses – A Matter of Justice, Not Charity

Lately, an old wound has been reopened in Malaysia, specifically concerning the state of Sabah. If you've been following the news, or even just social media, you’d know about the ongoing saga of the 40% special grant for Sabah. This isn’t some new request; it’s a fundamental

* Did you know?

The Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is not just history — it's the foundation of Malaysia.

✅ Sabah & Sarawak did NOT join Malaysia — they CO-FOUNDED it together with Malaya and Singapore.
✅ MA63 is an international treaty signed by all parties and witnessed by the UK.
✅ It promised special autonomy to Sabah & Sarawak in areas like immigration, education, religion, and resource control.
✅ Full MA63 implementation = a real federation, with equal partners — not central control from KL.
✅ Honoring MA63 is NOT anti-Malaysia. It is how Malaysia was meant to be: fair, united, and just.

We don’t need to fight to divide. We need to speak up to restore.

The royal institutions of Malaysia have survived for over 600 years—outlasting the Portuguese (130 years, 1511–1641), Dutch (83 years, 1641–1824), British (171 years, 1786–1957), and Japanese (3 brutal years, 1942–1945). Every colonizer tried to erase or manipulate the monarchy to exploit this land, yet it endured as the last line of cultural and political defense.

While Peninsular Malaysia gained independence on August 31, 1957, Sabah and Sarawak achieved self-governance separately—Sarawak on July 22, 1963, and Sabah on August 31, 1963—before Malaysia’s formation on September 16, 1963. These independence dates highlight the distinct paths taken by different regions of Malaysia.

Today, even as critics—many ironically benefiting from the stability these institutions preserved—call for their abolition, history’s verdict is clear: no foreign power or local agitator has ever succeeded in destroying what six centuries of conquest could not. The monarchy isn’t just a symbol; it’s the only unbroken system that has consistently outlived its enemies.
