NO WORRIES- PROFIT COMES FIRST BRITISH BOSSES ON UMNOs GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS Visiting London’s Mayor, Boris Johnson is quiet on UMNO BNs gross human rights violations. But UK Foreign Office Minister, Hugo Swire has said Malaysia should conform to international standards and norms The snub from Swire will have been no surprise. Najib knows his decision is counter-productive internationally. The sedition laws do not conform to international standards and Malaysia will be lowered in the eyes of the world. His further move to extend the law to criminalise support for East Malaysian autonomy and independence also threatens the very legitimacy of the Malaysian federal arrangement. After all, this was a deal done in 1963 between the British colonial masters and Malaya, without any genuine consultation of the Borneo states. Negotiations took place in London without a single native representative of Borneo present. The outcome was then described as independence, leaving Sabah and Sarawak to the greedy exploitation of the past 50 years.
