113. Unfortunately enough, the question of Sarawak and North Borneo did not in due time get the amount of attention it would have needed. If the Governments of Indonesia and the Philippines express their resentment at not having been sufficiently consulted, we have to give heed to them. If alarming news of neocolonialist efforts are coming from that region at the time of the final process of decolonization, the United Nations should give its sympathy to those who are anxious about colonialist infiltration. I wish to state that I share the anxiety of the Indonesian delegation. I only hope that the proposals of Indonesia and the Philippines will make it possible to find ways and means to protect this region of the world against any sort of neo-colonialist infiltration.
