2024.04.20 06:01 hkmprohd65 Ranking of Malaysian Scholarships and the Scholars
Background: When I finished IGCSE/SPM I was unsure of which scholarships were the best for me, which provided better opportunities, and I believe most students also don't know what scholarships are available and have to rely on their schools/parents for the types of scholarships they need to apply to. Fast forward to today, and I am nearing the end of my degree as a JPA Scholar overseas. I had the opportunity to meet different scholars and was able to network with different scholars on Linkedin. So, I want to hear your opinions on which scholarships produced the best scholars or students for the workforce. As I have met different people here, I tend to see there are patterns of some students of certain scholars tend to perform more academically, some more active in co-curricular, and some more awards, moreover with Linkedin I can gauge how good these students are with what they have achieved while studying.
Criteria: - Only Malaysian Scholarships (No international or scholarships from universities)- Rank the group of scholars of a certain scholarship based on their academic performance, co-curricular, awards achieved, and difficulty of obtaining that scholarship
Here's my list of how I would rank the scholarships that produced well round graduates:
- Yayasan Khazanah Global
- Gamuda Scholar
- CIMB ASEAN
- Petronas
- JPA and JPA-MARA
- Sime Darby
- Yayasan Peneraju
- Bank Negara
- TNB
- MARA
- KPM
Other scholarships I know about, but I don't know the scholars:
- Shell
- Yayasan KLKK
- PTPTN
- UEM
- PNB
- BYDPA
Feel Free to add your rankings, opinions and reasoning. Thanks

2024.03.30 23:17 ConfidenceCritical36 If this is true then we are corrupted to the core
| Zakat is a money paid by every muslims (especially married) in order to spread the country’s wealth evenly. It’s one of the initiative of overcoming poverty in a country. If what is said on the picture is true then our Sabah must have a total restructure. These guys are related to religious affairs and if those in charge with religious affairs is also corrupt then we are doomed for eternity. there are Sabahans abroad who haven’t been home since who knows how long. there are Sabahan students who work and study even during lecture days. there are Sabahans out there who needs scholarship. there are Sabahans out there who didn’t get to get back home because of the expensive tickets. It’s been a while our lovely CM DSP Hajiji Noor announced RM600 worth subsidy of to Sabah flight tickets. let’s hope no more Nightmares after this MUIS case😥 submitted by ConfidenceCritical36 to Sabah [link] [comments] |

2024.03.07 04:56 Weekly-Cake2436 Pathway to study abroad after SPM
Hi, as the title says, im an SPM leaver (female) (bumi) and i’d like to know what i have to do after SPM to study abroad with a full ride scholarship.
My subjects are the core 5 + Akaun, Ekonomi, Addmaths Trials: 1A+, 2A, 1A-, 2B, 1C, 1E, 1F my E and F are in accs and addm My prediction for SPM is hopefully 7As and 2Bs (addm and agama)
I know those results arent good enough for yayasan, PNB, MARA scholarships etc but is studying abroad still possible or just a pipe dream?
I plan on taking A levels after SPM as they are shorter than diploma and globally accepted, so i plan on performing well (academically and extracurricularwise) and applying abroad for degrees and searching for scholarships then. However, idk how big my chances are and if its even possible because if not then id rather study in local universities as I’m M40 so A levels would be quite an investment. I also plan on continuing my degree at a public university to save costs if A levels dont pan out but im worried that im aiming too high and A levels would just be a waste of time and money.
TL;DR SPM so so, wants to study abroad but needs full scholarship, A levels or public uni?

2024.01.09 04:34 boothyeq Which University should I go to study CS?
Hello fellow Malaysian redditors
I'm reaching out to fellow CS students who've attended these unis:
- Taylor's
- OUW KDU
- Sunway
- MMU
- UCSI
- APU
- UM
- UiTM
- UPM
- UTAR
*others are fine but I'm more interested in the mentioned unis
Little background on me: I currently pursuing my software engineering diploma at TARUMT in Sabah and doing my internship now. I will be graduating in July 2024. I have a CGPA of 3.8 and aiming to boost it to 3.9 to secure any type of scholarship(Prefer a 100% or close to it). I'm also interested in going towards a course on Cyber Security(but if the degree doesnt offer that it's fine). Coming from a modest background, this scholarship would be an incredible opportunity for me to access higher standards of education in a private university.
I'm 50% confident in my ability to achieve this goal with my grades and extracurriculars, and I'm hopeful that obtaining a scholarship will pave the way for me to study at one of those Unis by this year(as i would like to continue degree as soon as possible after graduation) without worrying too much on how I will pay tuition on pay back a loan in the future. I do have a dream of being able of studying abroad to be outside my comfort zone but as someone in B40, that truely is simply a day dream (OUW has a dual degree to study in Aus but student has to support themselves there .aprrox $9,500 AUS). I'm also balancing a part time job as now I don't have exams I don't mind spending my nights and weekends at work to be able to afford to pay my own car gas, food every now and then, phone bills and many more tiny self necessities.
Additionally, as a person who enjoys a going out with friends every now and then to let loose, I don't mind universities known for their "party" atmosphere. I believe in balancing a lively social life with academic pursuits lol
For those who've made the leap from Sabah to semenanjung universities, I'm particularly interested in hearing about your transition, the challenges you faced, and how you adapted to the new environment, who funded your education and living, what's the budget there(rent, food, facilities, transportation), where and how did you find comfortable accomodation (seriously, i would like to know it all). Your advice and tips would be helpful for someone like me contemplating a similar move.
And for those who've experienced the CS programs at other Unis I'd love to hear about your experiences as well!
I'm eager to learn more about your alma maters, the CS programs offered, extracurricular activities, and the overall university environment. Any insights you can provide would greatly help in shaping my decision.
I really hope alot will come and share their experience or even thoughts as many posts I've seen on individual universities has been quite negative (understandable as alot of unis all over malaysia is quite outdated). So I also hope me posting this will help others in my shoes.
If there's anything else you think I should consider or ask about, please drop your thoughts below!
Thank you all in advance for sharing your experiences and advice. Your input means a lot to me! 🌟📚

2023.11.04 21:33 hierarch17 Students for Socialist Revolutions open letter to Sabah
President Sabah,
We have received your November 3 statement to the WWU Community concerning “community safety.” We really do wonder: are you ashamed to have your name attached to such a blatantly slanderous and hackneyed attempt to silence pro-Palestinian speech at Western?
All the thinking workers and youth of this community can see straight through your pretense to “stand for academic freedom, free speech, and free assembly.” It is plain to us what you actually stand for: you aim to protect the interests of US imperialism and the arms companies who profit from Israel’s murderous campaign against the people of Gaza.
It’s notable that you and the right wing media began your most recent wave of crackdowns on criticism of the Israeli state just around the time Boeing’s stock price rose over 4%. Boeing supplies the gravity bombs, jets, and tanker aircraft that fuel the ongoing evisceration of more than 2 million Palestinians trapped in the world’s largest open air prison. The blood money from Boeing’s lucrative contracts with the Israeli “defense” apparatus, financed and fulfilled on the backs of the working class, also funds scholarships in the Colleges of the Environment and Engineering and Design, a corporate partnership with the College of Business and Economics, and 50 “donated” computer servers to help jumpstart the school’s Computer Information System Security program.
Simply put, the Israeli state’s bloody campaign is good business for the US ruling class. Then-Senator Joe Biden admitted as much in 1986, when he called US military aid to Israel “the best $3 billion investment we make!” That makes it good business for the university bureaucracy, too. Do you honestly expect us–the workers, students, and staff of the university–to believe that you are repeating the tired McCarthyist formula of equating communists with Nazis out of a concern for “community safety?” It was the USSR, facing down two-thirds of the Nazi military, that defeated Hitler and liberated many concentration camps.
We workers and students are the ones who make this university run; your role at this institution is that of an unelected boss siphoning a nearly half-million dollar annual salary off of the value we create and pay through tuition and fees. If that were not enough, your open preference for the interests of the billionaires over the right of workers and youth to call for a genuine solution to the crimes of imperialism completely disqualifies you to speak with any authority on this issue.
We noticed, in your statement, that you conveniently omitted any reference to the literal Arabic translation of the word “intifada.” If you had taken the time to conduct a simple Google search before rushing to preempt “the peaceful and thoughtful exchange of ideas” with unfounded implications against us of antisemitism, then you would have seen that the word has absolutely nothing to do with “violent attacks against Israeli civilian targets.” It simply means “shaking off” in Arabic. It is worth quoting one of our British comrades at length on this issue (unsurprisingly, apologists for imperialism around the world have been using similar talking points):
“To call for ‘mass uprisings’ and to refer to the First Intifada is not to advocate for terrorist attacks or violence. The First Intifada in the 1980’s, which was a response to decades of violence and oppression by the Israeli state against Palestinians, was a mass movement based on class struggle methods such as strikes, protests, local committees, civil disobedience and tax revolts. To paint it as an incitement of violence is a disingenuous attempt to rewrite history and shut down solidarity with Palestine.”
Indeed, there were violent attacks against civilians during the years of the First Intifada, but not by the Palestinians. Israel’s Defense Minister at the time, Yitzhak Rabin, gave the order to break the arms and legs of children caught throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. Throughout that period, the Israeli state was working closely with Hamas’ predecessor Mujama Al-Islamiya to try to counter the left wing of the Palestinian liberation movement. The fact that Rabin would go on to conclude the negotiation of the 1993 Oslo accords by shaking hands with Yasser Arafat on the White House lawn should make clear how completely inadequate it is to simply call for a “ceasefire now” and demand a return to the status quo ante of torture, murder, and displacement of Palestinians by the Israeli state.
Having clarified the true meaning and history of the word “intifada,” your insulting attempt to equate our slogan “One Solution: Intifada, Revolution” with the Nazi “Final Solution”, hardly merits a response. We have met with members of the school administration and they agreed that our slogans are neither antisemitic nor calls to violence. This university administration evidently is not a monolith, and don’t share your panic over slogans millions of people openly sympathize with.
Communists call for “one solution: intifada, revolution,” because we understand that the fate of all the exploited and oppressed peoples of the world are linked. In the words of Friedrich Engels, “a nation cannot become free and at the same time continue to oppress other nations.” This is why, in a fight between David and Goliath, we side with those using slingshots. The working people of the United States, regardless of their race or religion, have no interest in their government continuing to support the Zionist regime. Unfortunately, the US government does not serve the people i.e., the workers and youth; it serves a tiny class of vampires whose very existence depends on dividing us along whatever lines are convenient and sucking us dry.
This is why we will not waver. We refuse to be shamed or intimidated into silence. We will continue to call for an END to IMPERIALISM!
INTIFADA UNTIL VICTORY!
President Sabah, we invite you and any WWU staff to attend the Students for Socialist Revolution rally in Red Square on Weds. Nov. 8 at 10am, to express your solidarity with the thousands of innocent men, women, and children being slaughtered by the Israeli state with unqualified US support.
Sincerely,
WWU Students for Socialist Revolution & The Bellingham branches of Socialist Revolution, US section of the International Marxist Tendency.

2022.11.25 01:02 AReallySadWolf I hate my country
I come from a small country in Southeast Asia called Malaysia. And when I think about it, it bears a lot of similarities compared to the US. The flags look a like, both are multiracial countries, and police brutality is prevalent. And with multiethnicity, comes a lot of racial issues. This is no exception to Malaysia, in fact, it's worse than the US, and it's the core reason to why I hate my country.
A bit of context, this country consists of mainly Malays, Chinese, Indians and the indigenous people in Sabah and Sarawak. And back when the country attempted to gain independence from Britain, instead of giving equal rights to everyone regardless of race, the Malays demanded that they hold special privileges because they came to this country long before the Chinese and Indians, and are the owner of this country. So in order to gain independence and prevent racial conflict, the Chinese and Indians (who are also the minority races) had no choice but to agree. As such, the special privileges of Malays and all indigenous people are enforced in the Federal Constitution.
With special privileges, the Malays and indigenous people have every advantage in society. They are given priority when applying for public universities, scholarships or public sector jobs, purchase houses and lands at discounted prices, gain any license approval easier, etc. And there's also an unwritten rule that the Prime Minister must be none other than a Malay. In other words, in Malaysia, systemic racism is basically protected by law (as opposed to the absence of such in the US). And what's absurd is that it's the majority race that are protected instead of the minority race. No matter how hard we work or how honest we are, we will never compete on an equal ground merely because of our skin colour and religion.
Growing up as a Malaysian Chinese, we have constantly been oppressed by the Malays and the government. And for some reason, the Malays have this delusional fear that the Chinese and Indians are out there secretly plotting trying to take over the nation and do some sort of nasty things to them. And so everywhere we go, we are subject to racism and discrimination. I have had my fair share of being told "to go back to China", "once a foreigner, forever a foreigner", etc. Even if we're minding our own business, the Malays will find something to get offended. And human rights like LGBTQ+ are a joke in this country because the Malays are obsessed with Islam. You can't even mention anything that is against Islam or else you'll risk getting beaten by the Malays or arrested by the police.
Recently, Anwar Ibrahim has finally been elected to be the new Prime Minister. And the first thing he mentioned during the press conference is to "protect the special rights of Malays and indigenous people". Despite having enjoyed special privileges for more than 60 years, the Malays still want more. They are always fearing that their special rights will be taken away and have to compete equally with the minority race.
With systemic racism being protected by the constitution, I don't understand how can anyone expect unity be achieved in this country. It's like saying, "I'm chopping off your limbs but you can't hate me, and we must be friends forever." The older I become, the more I feel despair in this country. Right now, I'm just trying to work my ass off and save enough money so that I can either study or work in another country and get away from Malaysia. I know it's difficult, but my life has always been difficult being a minority in this country. So it doesn't make a difference anyways.
And my advice to anyone outside of Malaysia is this: If you want to come to Malaysia for vacation, it's definitely a beautiful country to travel. But if you're thinking of immigrating here, please don't.

With the report finished it is now to be sent to Prime Minister Alec Douglas Home to review it.
Here is the report findings.
ENQUIRY ON SARAWAK:
The report states that groups of all races minus the opposition to the merger has expressed a general desire to merge with the Federation of Malaya.
They have outlined some conditions if the merger is final. This conditions are:
a) That immigration into Sarawak from other territories of the proposed Federation should be under the control of the State authorities. This springs from the fear that, on the estzlblishinent of Malaysia. the people of Malaya and Brunei in particular would migrate in large numbers to Sarawak to take advantage of land and opportunities available, to the detriment of the people of Sarawak themselves Coupled with this general anxiety, there IS particular concern about the possible entry or undesirable elements from outside.
b) That there should be no rapid change in the administrative arrangements affecting the daily life of the people, or in such matters as taxation.
Regarding the Head of State of Sarawak there was some conflict between the indigenous people on the one hand, and the Chinise the other, each group was, nevertheless, near-unanimous in its views. The natives have insisted that only natives should be eligible to be Head of State, while the non-natives have expressed with equal emphasis their desire that the office should be open to anyone born in Sarawak.
There were some options outlined regarding such issues such as:
a) Some elements favour the arrangement that the Head of State of Sarawak should also be eligible to be the Head of the Federation of Malaysia, while others, a smaller element, favour a popularly elected Head of the Federation.
b) There were differences in attitude towards the acceptance of Islam as the national religion for Malaysia as a whole, and towards its particular application to Sarawak.
c) There were similar differences attitude towards Malay as the national language for Malaysia as a whole and towards its appllcation to Sarawak; and also as to official language or languages for Sarawak.
d) There was conflict regarding the Constitutional allocation of the legislative powers between the Federal and the State Governments in the new Federation, to which is related the question of at formula for representation in the new Federal Parliament.
While meeting with the Iban Representatives in Kapit our Commission was given some criteria for Sarawak as a state. The criteria are:
l. The Head of the State of Sarawak to be a native of Sarawak.
- The Head of each State in the Federation of Malaysia to be eligible in due course to be the Mead of the Federation of Malaysia.
- Adat Lama (traditional custom) to remain under the control of the Goventment of the State of Sarawak as it has until to-day.
- Land to lie tinder the control of the State.
5 English to remain the official language of the State of Sarawak and to continue to be one of the official languages of Malaysia.
6 Freedom of religious worship.
- There is to be adequate representation for Sarawak in the Federal Government.
- British officers to remain until replaced by properly qualified local people. Natives to have a fair share of Government employment.
- Sarawak natives to enjoy the same status and privileges as Malays in Malaya
- Education to he a Federal subject and to be equalised throughout Malaysia as seen as possible Sarawak natives to have a fair share of overseas scholarships.
- Immigration to remain under the control of the State of Sarawak.
- Powers reserved in the Constitution to a State may not be changed without the agreement of the State.
- Development in Sarawak to be accelerated
Meanwhile a report made by the Malayan Solidarity Consultative Committee has outlined this:
(a) The Head of State should be a native of Sarawak While most of the
groups accepted the position that the Head of Slate could never become the Head of the Federation, one group was emphatic that the Head of State for Sarawak should be put on a level Willi the Rulers of the States in Malaya and so be eligible to be elected as Head of the Federation.
(b) Customary land and other native rights should be protected
(I) Immigration from other parts of the new Federation should be strictly controlled by the Sarawak State Government.
(II) The special privileges in favour of Malaya in the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should be extended to the natives of Sarawak. Several groups asked that these special privileges should be under the control of the Head of State in Sarawak.
c) The legitimate rights or natives should be respected.
I) Malay should be adopted as the national language and its use should been couraged in the Legislature: but it should be pennissible for other languages, e.g., English or Iban, to be used. English should be retained as one of the official languages at least for a number of years.
d) There weredirrering views on the question of the medium or instruction in schools. Most Malay groups wished English to continue to be used as the medium of instruction in schools but we received written representations from one group asking that a time limit of 10 years should be set for the transition from English to Mfilayi The same group wished Malay to be made a oompulsory subject in all schools immediately
(i) “ Borneanisation" of the Public Services should be accelerated but the presentexpalriate Govemmenl ofiieers should remain until natives of Sarawak have had the education and training to take over from them If necessary, further expatriate staff should be obtained on contract to bridge any gap before sufficient natives were available,
(ii) Education facilities for natives should be improved to the standard provided for Malays by the Government or Malaya and should include free primary, and also, it possible, iree secondary education Natives should be given preference in the award of scholarships ior higher education. The Federal Government should be responsible for education at all levels
peoples should also be given special treatment in the economic field. and assistance. including financial assistattce, to encourage them to enter into business. These special privileges should, however. continue for a limited period and the party suggests 20 years The party makes clear its opposition to any suggestion that non-native should be deprived of their vested rights.
(e) Representation in the Federal Parliament
The party wishes Sarawak to be given at least 17 seats in the House of Representatives. For the Senate, they agree with the present arrangements in Malaya under which each State elects two members.
(f) Language
Malay is accepted as the National Language. but the party considers that English should be used for ofiicial purposes in Sarawak for at least l5 years from the day on which Malaysia comes into existence The party considers too that the present policy of the Sarawak Government on the use of English as a medium of instruction in secondary schools should not be changed without the conclmerice of the State Legislature.
(G) Migration
The party consider it essential that control of migration into Sarawak should be vested in the State.
(H) Federal Citizenship
The party agrees with the views of the M.S.C.C. on this subject. but does not wisht a test of permanent residence to be applied to a person who is indigenous to Sarawaks.
(I) Special Privileges
These should be granted the indigenous peoples In Sarawak as they are to the Malays in Malaya but, as the latter are more advanced
than the natives os Sarawak, the party considers that the ratio of scholarship awards for Sarawak should be seven for natives to every one for non—natives; and that the same ratio should apply to the public
services. The indigenous peoples should also be given special treatment in the economic field. and assistance. including financial assistattce, to encourage them to enter into business. These special privileges should, however. continue for a limited period and the party suggests 20 years The party makes clear its opposition to any suggestion that non-native should be deprived of their vested rights
ENQUIRY ON NORTH BORNEO
The commission met with North Borneo leaders and native leaders on the subject of merger but the main native party is against Malaysia and feared that a closer association between North Borneo and Singapore and Malaya would increase the risk of Communist infiltration. The party preferred to see a merger of the three Borneo territories, the United Nations develop the natural resources of the countries, and Britain and the United States of America protect them from the Communists or any outside threat. The party spokesman feared that there would be no independence through Malaysia but rather than that: Borneo territories would become dependency of Malaya
The commission received an offer nicknamed the 20 Point Agreement.
Point 1: Religion
While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia, there should be no State religion in North Borneo, and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of Malaya should not apply to North Borneo.
Point 2: Language
Malay should be the national language of the Federationb. English should continue to be used for a period of 10 years after Malaysia Day. English should be an official language of North Borneo for all purposes, State or Federal, without limitation of time.
Point 3: Constitution
Whilst accepting that the present Constitution of the Federation of Malaya should form the basis of the Constitution of Malaysia, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document drafted and agreed in the light of a free association of states and should not be a series of amendments to a Constitution drafted and agreed by different states in totally different circumstances. A new Constitution for North Borneo was of course essential.
Point 4: Head of Federation
The Head of State in North Borneo should not be eligible for election as Head of the Federation.
Point 5: Name of Federation
"Malaysia" but not "Melayu Raya".
Point 6: Immigration
Control over immigration into any part of Malaysia from outside should rest with the Central Government but entry into North Borneo should also require the approval of the State Government. The Federal Government should not be able to veto the entry of persons into North Borneo for State Government purposes except on strictly security grounds. North Borneo should have unfettered control over the movements of persons other than those in Federal Government employ from other parts of Malaysia into North Borneo.
Point 7: Right of Secession
There should be no right to secede from the Federation
Point 8: Borneanisation
Borneanisation of the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.
Point 9: British Officers
Every effort should be made to encourage British Officers to remain in the public service until their places can be taken by suitably qualified people from North Borneo.
Point 10: Citizenship
The recommendation in paragraph 148(k) of the Report of the Cobbold Commission should govern the citizenship rights in the Federation of North Borneo subject to the following amendments:
a) sub-paragraph (i) should not contain the proviso as to five years residenceb) in order to tie up with our law, sub-paragraph (ii)(a) should read "7 out of 10 years" instead of "8 out of 10 years" c) sub-paragraph (iii) should not contain any restriction tied to the citizenship of parents – a person born in North Borneo after Malaysia must be federal citizen.
Point 11: Tariffs and Finance
North Borneo should retain control of its own finance, development and tariff, and should have the right to work up its own taxation and to raise loans on its own credit.
Point 12: Special position of indigenous races
In principle the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, but the present Malaya formula in this regard is not necessarily applicable in North Borneo.
Point 13: State Government a) the Prime Minister should be elected by unofficial members of Legislative Council
b) There should be a proper Ministerial system in North Borneo.
Point 14: Transitional period
This should be seven years and during such period legislative power must be left with the State of North Borneo by the Constitution and not be merely delegated to the State Government by the Federal Government.
Point 15: Education
The existing educational system of North Borneo should be maintained and for this reason it should be under state control.
Point 16: Constitutional safeguards
No amendment modification or withdrawal of any special safeguard granted to North Borneo should be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Government of the State of North Borneo
The power of amending the Constitution of the State of North Borneo should belong exclusively to the people in the state.
Point 17: Representation in Federal Parliament
This should take account not only of the population of North Borneo but also of its size and potentialities and in any case should not be less than that of Brunei.
Point 18: Name of Head of State
Yang di-Pertuan Negeri.
Point 19: Name of State
Sabah.
Point 20: Land, Forests, Local Government, etc.
The provisions in the Constitution of the Federation in respect of the powers of the National Land Council should not apply in North Borneo. Likewise, the National Council for Local Government should not apply in North Borneo.
SUGGESTION BY THE BRITISH TEAM
1) Neither in Sarawak nor in North Borneo has the stage yet been reached where unofficials have been given even semi-Ministerial responsibilities. We understand that it is the intention to introduce a “Member" system at a reasonably early date in Sarawak, but that il is not thought that this can be done quite so soon in North Borneo. We were much encouraged by thee signs of growing political conciousness and political leadership in both terriories but there has been little opportunity up to the present or gaining political experience and responsibility. we consider that the necessary steps towards the appointment of a Chief Minister and the introduction of a State Ministerial system should be taken at as early at date as practicable in boll. territories; but we hold strongly the view that, for this important advance in the Constitution of the two territories to take place at one and the same time as the appointment of a constitutional Head of State and all the changes and adjustments, both emotional and political, involved in at transfer of sovereignty and the transfer or many or the State Governments" present powers to the Federal Government in Kuala Lumpur, would seriously overtax the administration and would create a sense of general bewilderment and a feeling or insecurity.
2) Not only is the idea or a popularly elected Govenrment still strange to large sections of the populations of the two territories, but so also is the concept or a constitutional Head of State, the native peoples in particular are accustomed to a Governor who governs. Any weakening in the next few years; either real or apparent in authority at Kuching or Jesselton would involve serious security risks. We have referred else where to the regrettable growth of racial discord Until this has been given time to subside we believe that it would be difficult for a Head of State to be selected in either territory who would commond the loyalty and respect of the great majority of all races and be capable of discharging such a delixate and invidious task.
3) We attach overriding importance to the maintenance of efficient administration and law and order during the years immediately ahead. Any lack of stability at this time would greatly increase the difficulties of the new Federation. it is absolutely essential (and this is common ground among all members of the Commission and among an over—whelming majority or witnesses) that the services of expatriate officers shouid be retained for a period of years. We would emphasise that the departure of a substantial proportional after Malaysia comes into being would not merely involve an acceptance of lower standards but would almost certainly mean a breakdown of normal administration. Any solution therefore which does not lead to the retention of a large propotion of expatriate officers would in our judgment be doomed to failure on this account alone. In saying this we do not mean to imply that, once Malaysia is a going concern and these officers have gained first—hand knowledge of the invigorating atmosphere in, and the remarkable progress which has been made by the Federation of Malaya since independence, many of them will not be very willing to serve for a number of years under the Government of the new Federation and to give it their whole-heated loyalty.
4) Responsibility for External Affairs, Defence and the anti-subversive aspecs of lnternal security should be transferred at once to the Federal Government.
5) Representatives of Sarawak and North Borneo should sit in the Federal Parliamenl and should be elected by the respective legislatures from among their own unofficial members. The election of a person to the Federal Parliament should not entail the vacation of his seat in the Legislalure of his territory. It might be thought reasonable for the two territories to have smaller representations in the Federal Parliament during the transitional period than their full quota under the final arrangements.
6) The Head of State in each territory should have executive powers similar to those at present exercised by the two Governors, We recommend further that Ihe title of Governor should not be changed, particularly as it will presumably continue to be used for the Head of State after the trasitional period comes to an end
7) The Governors should be advised as at present by Executive (or Supreme) Councils and should take Ihe chair all meetings of these Councils. Chief Ministers should be appointed as soon as practicable and a Ministerial system introduced to cover subjects in the State legislative list. Federal subjects should remain the responsibility of Officials. In particular, the chief secretary, Attorney—General, and Financial Secretary should remain as ex officio members of the Excecutive Councils and of the Legislatures in both terriories until the end of the transitional period.
8) An electoral system for the Legislative Council in North Borneo should be introduced as soon as possible. We consider too that there will be a need to increase unofficial number of unofficial members of the Legislatures of both territories in order to meet the additional duties that members will be called upon to undertake. Some officials will have to be retained in the legislatures until Federal subjects are handed over. We recommend that Speakers should be appointed at an early date.
9) As soon as possible afler a decision has been taken to create a Federation of Malaysia, a Joint Committee should be appointed composed or representatives of the Federal Government and of the State Governments of Sarawak and North Borneo, with an independent Chairman to be agreed beiween the three Government The task of this Committee would be to make recommendations to the three Governments as to the timingaitd manner of the integration into the Federal system of existing laws and practices, and of those Departments in the Borneo territories which are to become Federal. A particular concern of the Committee would be the question of the special safeguards for the Bomao territories. Under the general supervision of this Committee we recommend that there should be such Joint Working Parties as are found to be necessary to examine certain fields lin detail. We visualise that formal Working Parties will be required at least to consider the Judicial, educational, and economic fields, and the public services, and there will certainly be others. In those cases where separate Working Parties are needed for each territory, there should be equal representation of the Federal Government and of the State Government concerned.
The Joint Committee and the Working Parties should give the highest priority to their task so that it can be completed and the new arrangements introduced with the least possible delay.
ON THE QUESTION OF SINGAPORE.
The commission would like to touch upon the idea of merger with Singapore. Chief Minister Lee Kuan Yew had sent us a letter regarding his liking to the idea of the Malaysia Plan but he feels that Singapore was left out of the deal. Both the Malayan and British team agreed that to attract investors to Malaysia, Singapore must be included eventhough its againts the current British plans for the Malaysia Plan but its for financial future of Malaysia.
On the question of British Forces in Singapore the commission thinks the British Forces in Singapore would be allowed to keep their bases if Malaysia comes to fruition the same conditions that is currently used in Malaya.
In Conclusion this is just our suggestion but the final say will be in the hands of the Prime Minister and his government.
WORDS FROM LORD COBBOLD
"About one-third of the population of each territory strongly favours early realisation of Malaysia without too much concern about terms and conditions. Another third, many of them favourable to the Malaysia project, ask, with varying degrees of emphasis, for conditions and safeguards varying in nature and extent: the warmth of support among this category would be markedly influenced by a firm expression of opinion by Governments that the detailed arrangements eventually agreed upon are in the best interests of the territories. The remaining third is divided between those who insist on independence before Malaysia is considered and those who would strongly prefer to see British rule continue for some years to come. If the conditions and reservations which they have put forward could be substantially met, the second category referred to above would generally support the proposals. Moreover once a firm decision was taken quite a number of the third category would be likely to abandon their opposition and decide to make the best of a doubtful job. There will remain a hard core, vocal and politically active, which will oppose Malaysia on any terms unless it is preceded by independence and self-government: this hard core might amount to near 20 per cent of the population of Sarawak and somewhat less in North Borneo."
