Mereka tidak tahu bahawa DDJK sering ditipu, difitnah dan peralatkan oleh bn satu ketika dulu..:

Police approve Sarawak Independence Day assembly
Gathering approved but procession from Sibu Townsquare to Sibu Gateway disallowed
SIBU: Sibu police have approved the application of two individuals to hold a public assembly to commemorate Sarawak’s Independence Day on July 19.
Tay Swee Teck and Franky Anong had initially applied for a permit to hold the assembly at the Sibu Townsquare and subsequently a procession to the Sibu Gateway which is one kilometre away.
“We have approved the permit for the gathering minus the procession. The suggested routes are located in the centre of the town and could obstruct traffic flow and disrupt the public’s daily activities,” Sibu Police Chief ACP Mohd Kamal Kordi told reporters at the Sibu Police Headquarters, here yesterday.
Mohd Kamal said police would not hesitate to take action against those who did not abide by the condition of the permit. It is learnt that ‘Sarawak For Sarawakians’ group will be taking part in the public assembly.
The group is seeking support from members of the public to urge members of the State Legislative Assembly to pass a law or referendum to return the rights of the people to express their will.
Sarawak gained independence from British colonial rule on July 22, 1963.
Come in full force to support 52nd Sarawak Independence Day Rally
MIRI: The people here are urged to come in full force in support of the 52nd Sarawak Independence Day Rally at the Miri City Council Field on Sunday.
Organising chairman Chai Yu Chao said the event would start with a gathering and registration at Marina Bay Commercial Centre at 8am. From there they would walk for one kilometre to the MMC field for the gathering proper.
“Although the parade is cancelled, Team S4S Miri encourages fellow Mirians to take up this unique opportunity to step up and show their love and devotion to the land they loved, the Land of Hornbills,” Chai told reporters yesterday.
He said over 1,000 people had so far confirmed their participation and expected more to come forward on the actual day.
“We have issued over 2,500 invitation cards and we will continue to distribute them in the next few days to the public.
Those who do not have the cards can still come to the rally. We encourage the healthy and strong participants to join the walk from Marina Bay while the disabled and senior citizens can go straight to the MCC field, where our committee will give them the invitation cards for registration purposes,” he said.
The main event at MCC will start at 9am with safety briefings followed by a zumba session coordinated by Misa Luvi Dance and Fitness Studio and the welcoming speech from the organising secretary Hanim Jaree.
There will also be a live band performance by Rock Paradise, while event advisor, Erick Chin will deliver the closing speech.
Admission is free.
Chai urged all participants to maintain the peace at all times during the celebration and also to cooperate with the police in maintaining law and order.
SUPP happy that its July 22 rally has been approved
MIRI: Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) welcomes the police in particular and the state government for giving approval to the organiser of the July 22 rally to hold a gathering at the MCC Field on July 19, to celebrate Sarawak’s independence from British colonial rule on July 22, 1963.
Its secretary-general Datuk Sebastian Ting hoped that similar approval would be given to the organisers in Bintulu and Sibu to hold the rally also on Sunday and in Kuching on July 22.
“I am happy that the organiser has been able to obtain approval from police here for the Sunday event although it is only for the rally. On behalf of SUPP and the people of Sarawak I would like to say thank you to the police and the government for taking into consideration the general feelings and desires of the people of Sarawak to celebrate this happy and memorable event,” Ting said when asked to comment on the approval for the 52nd Sarawak Independence celebration in Miri.
Earlier, an application to hold a parade was turned down prompting SUPP to issue a press statement on Wednesday urging the government to reconsider its decision.
Ting added that the people of Sarawak were looking forward to celebrate July 22 to commemorate Sarawak’s independence from British rule on the same day in 1963.
“SUPP, as a political party which helped to fight for independence is happy that many people are now more aware of the date. Thus, it is an obligation to let the people, especially Sarawakians, know the historical event,” he said.
Acting district police chief, Supt Stanley Jonathan Ringgit said eight conditions were contained in the approval letter which the organiser must abide by.
Topping the list is maintaining public order so as not to threaten the existing peace and harmony. There should not be any banner of any form urging for referendum and all activities must be held at the MCC field.
SUPP regrets 722 movement banned
KUCHING: Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) regrets the government has banned the ‘722 movement’ for a peaceful parade to mark Sarawak’s independence from British colonial rule.
SUPP Youth Central Publicity and Information secretary Milton Foo said yesterday: “The parade is meant to create public awareness that on July 22, 1963, Sarawak achieved the status of an independent state and sovereign nation before forming Malaysia with Malaya, Singapore and North Borneo on Sept 16,1963.”
Foo added that ‘722’ is as significant and meaningful day to the people of Sarawak as Aug 31, 1957 is meaningful to the people of Malaya.
The people of Sarawak had applied for permission for a celebratory and peaceful parade to comply with legal requirements under the law in the hope police could be present at the scene to assist in coordinating and maintaining public order.
“It’s puzzling why this meaningful event is being suppressed by the authorities. The excuse given by the authority that it would cause serious traffic congestion and affect the people’s daily activities is invalid and unacceptable.
“How about the Merdeka Day parade organised by the officials? Just because the organiser is a government agency, permission is warranted? Won’t such parade also cause traffic congestion? What double standard!” he commented.
Foo said the police are civil servants and not caretaker of the government.
“I therefore call upon the authority to adopt and respect the will of the people and not turn a joyous event into an unhappy one,” he said.
