KUCHING, April 20, 2017 - Three known local politicians
will speak at the Sarawak Rights and Referendum Ordinance Forum to be held this
Sunday at the Kenyalang Theatre.
Co-chairmen Bill Jugah (left) and Chan Chee Hiong of the organising committee
Co-chairman of the organising committee Bill Jugah said
the speakers are Batu Lintang state assemblyman See Chee How, State Reform
Party (STAR) president Lina Soo and former SUPP treasurer and former assistant
minister Datuk David Teng Lung Chi.
Chee How will speak on Territorial Sea Act and the
resources within the Sarawak's territorial waters while Lina, who has written
two books on Sarawak rights, will speak on the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
She will touch on the Inter-Governmental Committee
Report, Cobbold Commision and other issues relating to Sarawak rights which
have been eroded since 1963 by the federal government.
Teng, who is also a former senior magistrate, will
enlighten the forum with his speech on Referendum Ordinance.
The forum, which will start at 10am, is organised by
Sarawak For Sarawakians (S4S), Sarawak Dayak Iban Association and Kuching
Traditional Handicraft Studies Society.
Bill told reporters today that the forum is held to commemorate the 100 days of passing of former
chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem on January 11, 2017.
"We want to remember him as he was the one who had
inspired Sarawakians to fight for our rights which have been eroded after we
formed Malaysia," he said.
He said it is Tok Nan's spirit that had inspired the
organisers to hold the forum.
Meanwhile, another co-chairman Chan Chee Hiong said an
entrance fee of RM10 is charged per person but university and college students
are not charged the entrance fee so long as they bring their valid student
cards.
Chan also said the organisers have set up a stall at
Primier 101 food court to sell entrance tickets nightly, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm,
until April 22.
The tickets will also be available at the entrance of the
venue at Kenyalang Park.
