00:00In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:05Dr. Haji Juhar and Dr. Haji Mahiruddin.

00:08Greetings to Malaysia, Madani, and greetings to all of you.

00:14Tonight, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the unification of the two islands of Borneo

00:28with the Melayu Peninsula to form a prosperous and independent nation.

00:37And for your information, in Padang, on September 16, 1963,

00:46Sabah signed a full-blown agreement to form the state of Malaysia.

00:56Since becoming a shareholder in the development of the state of Malaysia,

01:01change after change continues to take place in this prosperous Sabah.

01:07The incident of bloodshed in Tandu Olah Datu 11 years ago is still fresh in our memory.

01:15Several national heroes have been sacrificed in that battlefield.

01:21It has become a blackboard in the history of this modern country.

01:27After the tragic tragedy,

01:30it also continues with the demand for Sabah

01:34made by foreigners in foreign courts.

01:38However, due to the very respectful determination of the Prime Minister and the United Kingdom,

01:46Malaysia will immediately take action to strengthen our rights

01:52as a sovereign and independent country.

02:00It is normal for me to say here,

02:03on this very historic day of Malaysia,

02:08that Sabah will not be divided even by an inch.

02:14In fact, we will continue to defend the sovereignty of this blessed land forever.

02:25Indeed, we have been tested by various threats and situations.

02:31However, all of these will not weaken our spirit and enthusiasm

02:38to continue to defend Sabah

02:41as part of the territory of Malaysia.

02:46The main decision of the Supreme Court in the Netherlands

02:50that rejected the appeal filed by these new foreigners

02:55is good news for Sabah and its people.

02:59That main decision is very important to Sabah

03:04because it finally met the demands that have never been accepted by the people and the government.

03:13The rejection of the appeal directly threatens the sovereignty of Sabah in Malaysia

03:21that cannot be divided.

03:24It will not be disturbed by any party.
