Instaurare Omnia in Christo(IOC) Movement.
Preamble.
Today on 16th of July 2014 is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, according to the Liturgical Calendar of 1962 Missal of Bl. John XXIII the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, and this Feast has fallen on Wednesday on this Year 2014 and the 16th day of the Month of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We; the IOC Movement, are celebrating this Feast of Mount Carmel by declaring solemnly to the whole world that today Mount Singai at Bau, State of Sarawak in Borneo is one of forever memory of the prove and evidence of the Evangelization and zealous struggles of those who is to be the first one to receive the Lord Jesus Christ and His Only Church; the Catholic Church.
Part 1: Our Traditional Latin Mass/Tridentine Mass is the Mass of All Ages.
Fallen asleep has our brothers and sisters who is the first people that is to be the one that heard a Calling from the Lord Jesus Christ to be among the thousands of thousands holy disciples like St. Andrew the Holy Apostle; brother of St.Peter Prince of the Apostles, and St.Paul The Holy Apostle.
Traditional Latin Mass/Tridentine Mass or in the Language of the motu proprio issued by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI during his reign in Year 2007 as Extraordinary Form, has been celebrated from the very beginning of North Borneo(Sabah) and Sarawak has first received the Catholic Faith through Roman Catholic Church.
Traditional Latin Mass is the only usage or form of the Latin rite that has been celebrated by all of them who is the Confessor of Faith of this very Island of Borneo(Sabah and Sarawak only; as the first people that received the Catholic Faith is perhaps in Banjarmasin, Kalimantan, Borneo, in the Year 1690) of about from 150 years in the past until the advent of the Holy Mass of Roman Missal 1969 Edition or also called as Ordinary Form in that same motu proprio Summorum Pontifcum whose 7th Anniversary is last few days on 7th of July 2014.
[The first Catholic missionary to begin work in North Borneo(now Sabah) was Fr. Cuarteron, a Spaniard who was once a pirate. When he was shipwrecked off Labuan, he made a vow that if he was saved from drowning, he would become a missionary priest. Fr.Cuarteron fulfilled that vow and was ordained priest in 1854.Fr. Cuarteron was posted to Labuan in 1857.It was Fr. Cuarteron who had earlier asked the Church authorities in Rome to send Catholic priests to Borneo.
Among the first group of Mill Hill Fathers who arrived in Sarawak in 1881 were Rev. Edmund Dunn,Rev. Daniel Kilty, Rev. Aloysius Goosens and Rev. Thomas Jackson.]

[Felix John Mary Westerwoudt was born in Amsterdam on 14th March 1861. He was the third of eight children, the youngest of whom became a nun. As a boy he was interested in outdoor life and carpentry. He was hot-tempered. From age 7 to 13 years Felix entered a private school for Catholic boys. He was elected by his school mates to present a token of homage to King William 11 on the occasion of the King’s Silver Jubilee in 1847.
Felix discovered a vocation to be a priest even at an early age of eleven and his mother was thrilled upon hearing it. In 1876, Felix entered the Diocesan Preparatory Seminary near Leiden (Holland). His fellow students always found him friendly and jovial. In 1883 at the age of 22 years, Felix entered St. Joseph’s College, Mill Hill. He became a Sub-deacon in 1884. Felix was ordained Deacon in 1885 and Priest a day later.
Rev. Felix Westerwoudt and his fellow seminarian Rev. Albert Reyffert sailed from Trieste on October 1st, 1885. They arrived in Kuching on November 15th of the same year. As it was Sunday, there were no priests to welcome them because of Church services. The newly arrivals remained in Kuching until after Christmas. After meeting with their Superior Rev. Thomas Jackson, Fr. Westerwoudt departed for Singai and Fr. Reyffert sailed for Kanowit.]

Therefore,
Traditional Latin Mass is the Mass of All Ages, without this Form of the Holy Mass, how would Catholic Church in Sabah and Sarawak could trace back her past and eternal glory of History to link with those that has gone to their rest; a very people that truly and zealously hear the Lord's Voice?
Traditional Latin Mass is preserved from all harm and danger from being suppressed and many of the Popes and Bishops from the Year 1570 has celebrated this Mass of All Ages with full of zeal toward of the Lord Jesus Christ by reverently celebrating this Tridentine Mass and subsequently lifted up for eternity to be used with no restriction and no doubt once again in a time of the Second Vatican Council when His Holiness Pope John XXIII has promulgated a Roman Missal 1962 Edition by adding the name of "St.Joseph" into the prayer in the Order of the Roman Missal.
[Marilah semua dari seluruh tempat menggunakan dan merayakan apa yang telah diperturunkan oleh Gereja Roma yang Kudus, Bunda dan Guru segala Gereja, dan janganlah kiranya Misa-misa ini didaraskan atau dibacakan dengan rumus lain, melainkan hanya dengan apa yang Kami telah terbitkan dalam Missale ini. Perintah ini digunapakai, sekarang dan sepanjang segala masa, di semua tempat dalam dunia Kristian, yakni kepada semua patriak, katedral-katedral gereja, kolegiat dan gereja paroki, tanpa mengira sama ada ianya sekular atau religius lelaki dan perempuan – biarpun dalam ordo militan – gereja-gereja serta kapela-kapela di mana Misa konventual (Misa bersama para Religius) didaraskan atau dibaca secara peribadi menurut ritus dan kebiasaan Gereja Roma. Missale ini akan digunakan oleh semua gereja, biarpun gereja tersebut menerima pengecualian melalui Indulto Apostolik (Kebenaran Khas Apostolik), kebiasaan setempat, keistimewaan, sumpah atau pengesahan rasmi Takhta Suci, atau gereja yang mempunyai hak dan bidang kuasa yang dijaminkan kepada mereka dengan apa juga cara sekalipun.]

Part 2: Mount Singai as the "Roman Catholicism and Traditional Latin Mass Heritage Site".
Mount Singai has been declared by the Archdiocese of Kuching as Catholic Memorial Pilgrimage Centre(CMPC) in accordance to its Historical Value that exceed our expectation. However, today, we would like to declare and reserve Mount Singai as one of the Heritage Site for the evidence of Roman Catholicism Evangelization and the Eternal celebration of Traditional Latin Mass.
That is why, we ask humbly from the Most Holy Trinity; One God, so that He will mercifully accept our utmost desire in consecrating Mount Singai under the protection of our Blessed Mother; Blessed Virgin Mary Our Lady of Mount Carmel, so that every living Catholics all around the world will not easily forget the past memory of those who has been loving and imploring our Lord Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church fully.
Traditional Latin Mass should be resumed to be celebrated in Sabah and Sarawak so that we could be in communion with all those saints who has going through numerous hardship, painful struggles, and rejection in the past when Catholicism has just started to give the Light of Truth to all people that still do not know about our Holy Catholic Faith and His Holy Bride; the Catholic Church.
O how the Lord Jesus Christ loves His Catholic Church so much until He has shed His Most Holy Blood on the dust of the earth. Remember ye humans that from dust you came and from dust you will come back, and only your soul will be risen from the dead for the Final Judgement.
Then,
We could not despise this truth about Traditional Latin Mass to be celebrated in each Archdioceses and Dioceses in Sabah and Sarawak;
State of Sarawak:
Kuching Archdiocese.
His Grace Most Reverend Archbishop John Ha.
Sibu Diocese.
His Lordship Right Reverend Bishop Joseph Hii.

Kota Kinabalu Archdiocese.
His Grace Most Reverend Archbishop John Wong.
Keningau Diocese.
His Lordship Right Reverend Bishop Cornelius Piong.

We send up the names of local Archbishops and Bishops of those Archdioceses and Dioceses in Sabah and Sarawak to our Most Merciful and Most Compassionate God so that they might celebrate and directing all priest in every parishes to celebrate as well Traditional Latin Mass in
every Cathedrals, Churches, and Chapels.
Thus,
Let us all pray for this declaration of Mount Singai as one the revered site as one of "Roman Catholicism and Traditional Latin Mass Heritage Site" in eternal memory of those who has live their Catholic Faith for sake of His Holy Catholic Church that we could see still standing until to this very day.
