KUCHING, Aug 11: Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) is engaging an international lawyer from the United States of America (US), Judge Dr Te Whetu O Rongo to pursue its case for Sarawak’s independence.
During PBK’s first Central Committee dinner here on Sunday (Aug 11), Rongo, who was asked by party president Voon Lee Shan to help PBK to pursue the state’s independence, said the first step was to bring the case to the Federal Court and declare that the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) is a fraud.
“In the Sarawak Land Ordinance 1958, it talks about customary law and customary land law because the state shall recognise customary law and ‘adat’ (custom). The question now arises, when Malaya decided to come into Sarawak they only followed the English law but they did not take into consideration about the ‘adat’, but ‘adat’ is part of the international law.
