(FMT) – Sarawak netizens voice anger and disbelief over the deputy home minister’s recent warning, calling him a Malaya lackey

Deputy Home Minister Wan Junaidi Jaafar’s warning to parties questioning the legitimacy of Malaysia has shocked Sarawak netizens, who’ve dubbed him ‘a Sarawak traitor’.

Affronted users of the social media maintained that Sarawakians have the fundamental right to question and ask for a review of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement and that it was not seditious.

Junaidi had on Sunday reportedly warned politicians “playing around” and raising the Malaysia Agreement-related issues. He said it was ‘treason and seditious’.

“The issue can disrupt unity between West Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak. Raising the issue is an act of treason. The Malaysia Agreement should not be raised anymore,” he said.

A posting of Junaidi’s contentious comment on the Sarawak Sovereignty Movement (SSM) Facebook page drew 58 wide-ranging comments with hundreds of likes within a day.

User Skidz Chai screamed “Pengkhianat Sarawak (Sarawak’s traitor)!” while another Penan Murum posted: “This fellow is (Prime Minister) Najib’s (servant) and is brainwashed by Malaya. A Negara Sarawak traitor!”

SSM regular Morshidi Abdul Rahman posted: “We are not playing around about the Malaysia formation issue.

“We are questioning the legitimacy of the Malaysia establishment when there are facts showing the Sarawak nation (Negara Sarawak) had been tricked by the British and Malayan leaders in the early sixties.

“Most Sarawak leaders (then) were inexperienced and not highly educated to know what the actual Malayan agenda was.

“Only now we (Sarawakians) can see ourselves their agenda to enrich Malaya and drain off as much oil gains and taxes as possible for the benefit of Malaya only.

“As our people are not ‘smart lawyers’, cannot we ordinary citizens know the truth?” he asked.

Malaya’s lackey

His views were echoed by another user Walter Gregory Ripon, who said: “All agreements of course must be reviewed from time to time to ensure there is no deviation from the foundations of the agreements.

“As an educated minister, please do not make statements like an uneducated person.”
