KOTA KINABALU: The Change Advocate Movement Sabah (CAMOS) today urged Parti Warisan to take the lead in forming a Borneo Bloc together with Sarawak leaders and political parties that share the same vision of equality, dignity, and autonomy for the two Borneo states under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
CAMOS said it fully supports the statement made by Datuk Willie Mongin in Parliament, calling for Malaysia’s formation to be reviewed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), raised before the United Nations (UN), and followed by a referendum to return to the people of Sabah and Sarawak the right to determine their political future in accordance with the principles of MA63.
“Datuk Willie Mongin’s statement reflects the awakening of a new Bornean consciousness — one that no longer tolerates inequality, political manipulation, and the continued erosion of our rights as equal partners in Malaysia,” said CAMOS spokesperson Daniel John Jambun.
CAMOS believes Warisan, as the largest homegrown political movement in Sabah, is uniquely positioned to champion this Borneo agenda and unite all like-minded forces in Sabah and Sarawak into a common front — the Borneo Bloc.
“This is not about secession or hostility. It is about restoring justice, equality, and dignity — the foundation upon which Malaysia was created in 1963,” Daniel said.
CAMOS also welcomed the landmark High Court ruling today in favour of the Sabah Law Society (SLS), which reaffirmed that the Federal Government is constitutionally obliged to pay Sabah its entitled revenue under Article 112C and 112D of the Federal Constitution.
“The Court’s decision is a victory for the rule of law and a vindication of Sabah’s long struggle for fiscal justice. It proves that our claims are not emotional or political — they are legal, legitimate, and grounded in the Constitution,” Daniel added.
In light of this, CAMOS called on Warisan to:
1. Publicly endorse Datuk Willie Mongin’s statement as a declaration of Borneo’s political will;
2. Initiate discussions with Sarawak counterparts to establish a formal Borneo Bloc Committee to coordinate joint legal, political, and diplomatic strategies; and
3. Form a permanent Borneo Secretariat under a future Warisan-led government to safeguard Sabah’s rights in all federal dealings.
“With the judiciary now affirming Sabah’s rights, it is time for our political leaders to act with equal courage and unity,” Daniel said.
CAMOS concluded by saying the people of Sabah and Sarawak must now speak with one voice — not as subjects of federal power, but as co-founders of Malaysia whose consent and equality must never again be taken for granted.
“Warisan must rise as the voice of Borneo — to lead, to unite, and to restore the honour and destiny of our people.”
