In conjunction with the World Human Rights Day this Thursday, the Sarawak for Sarawakians (S4S) movement will be reviving its memorandum of demands that it sent to the Queen of the United Kingdom in February.

"A Sarawak People's Memorandum addressed to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace was sent by registered post and was returned unopened as Buckingham Palace refused to accept delivery of the letter," S4S spokesperson Fong Pau Teck said today.

The movement now inteneds to resend its memorandum of demands to the queen through the British high commissioner in Kuala Lumpur, Fong said.

"We now seek to re-send the memorandum through the office of the British High Commission, for onward delivery to the queen and the British prime mnister," he said at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

The memorandum, among others, seeks Queen Elizabeth's intervention to set up a British Parliamentary Inquiry - as the UK was the architect and principal signatory of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 - in order to redress alleged failures by the federal government to comply with the terms of the agreement.

Commenting further, Fong said the main demands of S4S centre around the restoration of Sarawakian rights, as stated in the Malaysia Agreement, for instance on the control of the state's natural resources.

"What belongs to Sabah and Sarawak must be returned… We want the British to come back to fix this.

"If the British government (again) refuses to accept our memorandum or does not want to entertain us, we will consider taking legal action," he stressed.

Asked what would happen if the British government agrees to intervene but is met with resistance from Putrajaya, Fong said: "Then we ask for 'divorce' lah… Because this is like a marriage."

When pressed to clarify, Fong explained that he was referring to a possible return to the time before the Malaysia Agreement was signed, when Sabah (then known as North Borneo), Sarawak and the Federation of Malaya were recognised as three independent and equal territories.

He also denied that S4S is soliciting foreign intervention in Malaysia's domestic affairs, insisting instead that the issue is one of international interest and concerns the basic human rights of all Sarawakians.
