THIS IS THE ULTIMATE-SABAH & SARAWAK MUST BACK OUT OF MALAYSIA. THE 55 YEARS OF SLAVERY BY THIS HOSTILE, BRUTAL AND EVIL REGIME MUST END!!!! QUOTE: The Indigenous Peoples Network of Malaysia, Jaringan Orang Asal SeMalaysia (JOAS) has refused to accept the Malaysian governments explanation on why it has not accepted six recommendations related to indigenous peoples rights at the second cycle of the United Nations Human Rights Councils Universal Periodic Review (UPR). JOAS which comprises 83 community organisations, five candidate members and five NGO affiliate members said it was outraged by Malaysias response as at the UPR, the Foreign Affairs Ministry had indicated positive response on recommendations pertaining to indigenous rights. JOAS chairman Thomas Jalong regarded the non-acceptance of the recommendations of the UPR as the governments tactics to backtrack from issues regarding the rights of the natives especially with regards to native customary rights lands (NCR). Malaysia took part in the UPR in Geneva from Oct 21 to Nov 1, 2013 which comprises 47 member states of the Human Rights Council. Instead of accepting the recommendations, the response report issued by the Malaysian government stated it was unable to accept the recommendations at this juncture. The rationale was that it had set up a Task Force comprising senior government officials, civil society representatives and academicians that were in the process of determining the details on which the recommendations can be implemented in the short, medium and long term.
