Penampang State Library being left to rot


PENAMPANG - Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has criticised the State Government for leaving Penampang State Library building to rot.

Information Chief, Chong Pit Fah said that with the present state of the building at Donggongon Town, it would not be long that another state library building is declared unsafe.

"We are puzzled why the government is not bothered with the upkeep of an important facility for the Penampang district. Kota Kinabalu City has already lost its library.



He said the Penampang library building was in terrible shape with signs of its foundation sinking such as the cracks on the walkway besides the building.

"There are also holes here and there on the roof gutter, bird's soil on the window glasses. It is really shameful to have this very important facility being left in a horrible situation," he said.

The walls are cracking, the drainage covers missing and even the road going to the library is full of pot holes, he said.

Chong said the library is catering to thousands of students in the Penampang vicinity and it's the nearest for them after the Kota Kinabalu City Library had been closed down as it was declared unsafe.

"This is another example of the Barisan Nasional (BN) apathetic attitude towards the need of the people," he said.

"Will the Penampang folks have to go to the Megalong shopping complex to go to the library, just like what happened to the Kota Kinabalu State Library, which had been moved to the Suria Sabah mall?" he asked.

Chong said the government and the local authority concerned must give an explanation for the reason the Penampang State Library building is rotting.

    WE SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT IT IS UMNO'S PURPOSE TO KEEP ALL OF US IGNORANT- SO THERE IS NO POINT IN KEEPING A LIBRARY ALIVE! UMNO HAS ALREADY RE-WRITTEN THE BOOKS!

      Excuse me? Why blame the government? The authorities should make it known to them.

      Why not? The authorities is under the Government.

      It is the duty of the Government to check that its employees (government servants) and agencies under it are not sleeping on their job.

      We the public, tax payers and voters expect the Government to provide good and improving services at all times to the public.

      I find the library location in suria sabah is very convenient. Government made the right decision in relocating the state library to suria sabah.

      Kini mereka yang membaca semakin berkurangan, saya rasa perpustakaan awam kita patut mengadakan 'pesta membaca' untuk mengalak dan mempupuk minat rakyat terutamanya kanak-kanak.

    IS EDUCATION & KNOWLEDGE A PEOPLE'S PRIORITY OF THOSE IN POWER FOR THE LAST 48 YEARS?

    Their objective is to let us know the less the better so we cannot be wise to their dirty tricks...& SHENANIGANS

      Its the opposition job to blame everything to the government. Once the opposition become the government, they will face the same problem too.
