He said Puad should not have joked about it concerning the proposed SMK Nabalu. And having said that he should not have allowed it to be delayed by two years because the people were actually waiting for the school longer than that. "He should not have taken a long time to respond to the grouses from various quarters on the delay because he sits in the Ministry and knows all the procedures related to the project's implementation," said Dr Osman.
He said this only suggests that Puad probably thought the people of Sabah could be taken lightly or for granted. He said education development in Sabah would not progress accordingly so long as Putrajaya decides even small things like repairs of any damage to school buildings.
"Even this requires a Deputy Minister to come down and check before any allocation can be provided," he said, and asked what then was the responsibility of the Sabah Education Department, "Why can't this department decide even those small matters?" he asked.
He said his observation as an MP (1990-1994) showed the State Education Department at that time did not have to refer to Kuala Lumpur but this was probably because the Director post then was held by a West Malaysian. "Is it no more the same just because the post is now held by a Sabahan?"
Dr Osman also noted that Puad was also not successful in getting sufficient teachers to fill the thousands of vacancies in the State while there was talk of flooding the State with peninsula teachers, whose return after a couple of years only affected the academic performance of Sabahans.
He is aware that there are thousands of Sabahan graduates who have applied to become teachers but were never considered," he said.
He hoped the issue of graduate quality would not be made an excuse by Puad because Sabahans are surely no less academically qualified than their peninsula counterparts.
"Sabahan graduates who apply to become teachers should be given top priority in filling up the thousands of vacancies in the State. Either they should go for teaching training or teach first while waiting to be called for training," he said.
I believe that it is a common practice for the BN/ UMNO leaders to boast about implementing projects that eventually result only on empty talk. Like the Federal ministers from wm, they normally talk about having to implement projects in sabah but when they leave sabah & go back to wm, nothing happen.They are only interested to project their YB image & ego to show that they are smarter than sabahans. This is an insult & betray to sabah.
ReplyDeleteIf federal leaders keep making empty promises to poor Sabahan why is PBS, UPKO, PBRS still supporting UMNO. Isn't this a typical traitor? Fxxk, Shit.
ReplyDeletesetiap janji perlulah ditepati agar keperluan rakyat dapat dipenuhi.
ReplyDeletePBS is an UMNO stooge!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope federal leaders take serious with Sabah's condition. May the local leaders sincerely continue to fight for Sabahans' rights.
ReplyDeleteState Education Department should be given the autonomy power. It will be a slow progress for the Sabahan' pupils if every small matters also have to refer to Putrajaya.
ReplyDeleteSabah sepatutnya diberi kuasa autonomi dalam membuat keputusan berhubung pentadbiran/pembangunannya.
ReplyDeletejika berjanji tu kenalah ditunaikan, jgn hnya tau menabur janji tapi tak boleh laksanakan.
ReplyDeleteMenteri Pendidikan Sabah patut diberikan kuasa autonomi.
ReplyDeleteKalau bukan SAPP yang memperjuangkan pasal otonomi untuk Sabah, semua kerbau dari parti malaya masih binggung apa itu otonomi.
ReplyDeleteSAPP BOLEH!
Making empty promises for Sabah? IT up to the leaders. But should not forget that People vote is the important.
ReplyDeletePuad, since people will not listen to your promises anymore, what will be your tactic to win people support??
ReplyDeletememang pemimpin persekutuan/semenanjung kerap berjanji kosong kepada rakyat sabah..yang mereka mahu hanyalah undi rakyat sabah..
ReplyDeletesekarang rakyat sabah ragu2 dengan kreadibiliti pemimpin persekutuan/semenanjung..yang lebih menyedihkan pemimpin sabah pula yang kena tempias sedangkan yang 'mulut besar' adalah pemimpin persekutuan seperti Puad.
ReplyDeleteAny promises that were made to the people must be fulfilled. Don't simply make a promise if you don't intend to fulfil it!
ReplyDeletePlease don't let the people down. especially those who have been giving their fullest support to the government.
ReplyDeleteIt is leaders like Puad that give the government a bad name.
