Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) will be holding a dinner on 2 August 2025 at Hai Tian Lou Restaurant, Aeroville,Stutong, Kuching, to be attended by party members and supporters. The dinner is aimed to seek closer rapport between members and supporters in preparation for the coming 13th Sarawak Elections, which is expected at any time from now.

During the last 12th Sarawak Elections, PBK was able to field 73 candidates out of 82 seats that were contested. It was the first serious participation in the elections by the party since the party was registered by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) in 2013. Before the last 12th Sarawak Elections, the party was hardly heard of by Sarawakians, and the mission and vision of the party struggles were not known.

Despite the lockdown and other obstacles faced by the party, including harassment by the authorities and by certain undesirable elements against our President, candidates, and party colleagues,the party did extremely well. The safety of our President and candidates were threatened during the campaign and it was something very fearful, but, we shall not give up as we could not be intimidated for the sake of Sarawak and her people.

Come this 13th Sarawak Elections, Parti Bumi Kenyalang will be more prepared to fight the elections. The party is serious to capture the Sarawak government and we need support, so that the party can purse its mission and vision to set Sarawak free and independent from the federation of Malaysia by peaceful and legal means.

Lord Lansdowne, the Chariman of the Inter-Governmental Committee, mentioned that Sarawak has an intrinsic right to independence if Sarawak is not happy in the Federation of Malaysia

Under the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514, colonies in the world have a right to self-determination, which eventually can lead colonies to independence. For us in Parti Bumi Kenyalang, it is difficult to convince us that Sarawak is not a colony of Malaya.

Our unhappiness to be in Malaysia is that Sarawak was acquired to enlarge Malaya. Malaya then took a new name, “Malaysia” and we felt cheated because it was not our intention to have Malaysia existed that way. The change of name by Malaya to Malaysia could be seen in the United Nations records.

After Sarawak was acquired to enlarge Malaya, Sarawak had never been treated well by Malaya.

The Malaysia Agreement 1963(MA63) which was said used to form Malaysia was not a valid Treaty and even if valid at the time the Treaty was entered into, the fundamental breaches and unfulfilled terms in the Treaty, had led the Treaty to be invalid or no more relevant.

Being in Malaysia, Sarawakians should be reminded that Sarawak lost her oil wealth speculated around RM110 billion a year pumped by federal government through PETRONAS but what Sarawak got annually was hardly more than RM5 billion as Annual Development Fund.This is not fair to Sarawak.

At the same time, most of our taxes were taken by the federal government and it is hard to deny that the oil revenues and taxes collected from Sarawak by the federal departments in Sarawak are used to develop Malaya instead of Sarawak.

To Parti Bumi Kenyalang, to exit from Malaysia is the best way to move forward by Sarawak.
