Sabah harus bangkit, berubah dan maju


Joseph Lakai

Bangsa Eropah, Amerika, Korea dan Jepun menjadi bangsa yang maju kerana mereka menyedari erti pentingnya Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (IPTEK) dalam bidang kejuruteraan, sains dan teknologi. 

Kita sebagai bangsa yang mempunyai keinginan untuk maju, juga harus menyedari betapa pentingnya ilmu pengetahuan tersebut untuk memperoleh kemajuan tersebut.

Mulai dari sekarang kita harus bangun dari terlelapnya mimpi yang berpanjangan ini. Bangkit dan bergerak maju demi kehidupan bangsa yang kita harapkan sejajar dengan bangsa-bangsa lain yang telah maju terlebih dahulu.

Sabah adalah negeri yang besar. Besar penduduknya, luas wilayahnya, dan kaya akan hasil alamnya.

Kita harus malu kepada bangsa lain yang kecil dengan kekayaan alam yang amat sedikit tapi mereka boleh maju berbanding kita.

Luasnya wilayah Sabah dan Sarawak serta kekayaannya yang lebih melimpah dari Jepun yang kecil akan tetapi Jepun berjaya menguasai Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (IPTEK) dalam bidang kejuruteraan, sains dan teknologi sehingga dapat duduk sejajar dengan bangsa Eropah dan Amerika.

Seandainya ilmu pengetahuan rakyat kita lebih maju, Indonesia dan Filipina takkan berani menceroboh wilayah kita. nelayan-nelayan asing takkan berani mengaut kekayaan sumber laut kita. Dengan menguasai Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (IPTEK) dalam bidang kejuruteraan, sains dan teknologi, kita takkan guna freeport di Malaya. Demikian, tiadalah dasar kabotaj yang menindas rakyat Sabah.

Kerana lemahnya IPTEK kita maka kekayaan kita telah dikelola oleh bangsa asing dan mereka mencerobohnya untuk memperkayakan negeri/ negara mereka. Karena ceteknya IPTEK kita, kedaulatan sabah ini diceroboh oleh campur tangan asing. Kerana ceteknya IPTEK kita maka dasar kabotaj menyekat pertumbuhan ekonomi kita.

Apakah kita akan membiarkan pulau-pulau kita yang lain terlepas setelah Labuan dan Block L & M kita lepaskan begitu saja?

Seperti yang kita ketahui bahawa Labuan adalah salah satu pulau terkaya. Lombong minyak dan gasnya nombor satu di dunia.

Karena kurangnya penguasaan IPTEK oleh rakyat kita, maka dengan relanya kita menyerahkan pulau itu kepada Malaya. Pekerja kita hanya sekadar buruh kasar di sana kerana memang Malaya sudah menguasai IPTEK.

Kita hanya dapat segelintir saja dari kekayaan minyak Labuan. Pun rakyat labuan memberontak karena kekayaan bumi mereka tidak dapat mereka nikmati sendiri. UMNO-BN terus saja menjadi provokator agar Labuan kita lepaskan. Apakah ini bukan menceroboh kedaulatan bangsa?

Marilah bersama-sama kita bangunkan bangsa ini. Kuasai IPTEK demi kemajuan bangsa ini. Kita harus yakin suatu saat kita pasti menjadi bangsa yang besar dan maju bahkan menjadi bangsa superpower dan perkara ini bukan mustahil.

Semoga saja anggaran pendidikan 20% yang dijanjikan pemerintah baru-baru ini boleh direalisasikan. Kita bangunkan bangsa ini dengan kegigihan, ketekunan, kerja keras dan kejujuran. Kuasai Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (IPTEK) dalam bidang kejuruteraan, sains dan teknologi agar kita menjadi mulia setaraf dengan bangsa asing.

Harus diingat, negara yang berasakan kejuruteraan sahaja yang akan dapat berkuasa dan mengawal ekonomi. Lihat contoh seperti Amerika dalam teknologi angkasa dan perisian komputer, Jepun dalam teknologi elektronik, mekanikal dan automotif, Perancis dalam teknologi penerbangan dan teknologi pemakanan, German dalam industri mekanikal dan perubatan, Korea dalam teknologi perkapalan dan nuklear, Singapura dalam teknologi perkapalan, Australia dalam teknologi perlombongan,
Taiwan dalam teknologi pembuatan dan sebagainya, malah China yang suatu ketika dahulu termiskin sudah menguasai industri pembuatan dan pembinaan sejak rakyatnya mengambil sikap PERUBAHAN.
Sabah dan Malaysia amnya BILA LAGI?

    2. SABAH WILL NEVER BECOME A MATURE STATE UNTIL IT IS INDEPENDENT from MALAYA & CONTROLS ITS OWN DESTINY & SOVEREIGNTY

      This article addresses the issue of Sabah nationhood.

      Most of us are a long way from reaching the maturity of ideas displayed by Joseph.

      We can have elections- where does it get us? We remain under the rule of a foreign government within the colonial Malaysia political framework.

      Better education?- But who education. Our children are being brainwashed with UMNO Malay supremacist apartheid ideas

      More development? Again this does not solve anything as Sabah serves as a colonial milking cow for Malaya sucked dry of it soil and natural resources.

      Sabahans have awakened to all these which is why many political leaders have spoken out bravely against Malayan colonialism. This is far far in advance of Sarawak where most politicians are controlled by Malayan parties.

      At least in Sabah there are has political parties independent of Malayan control and this is a healthy sign.

    3. VILLAGE BELACAN TECHNOLOGY vs. VILLAGE INDUSTRIALISATION

      HOW TO ACHIEVE DEVELOPMENT WITH SUSTAINABILITY & SHARING THE WEALTH?

      Agree that education is vital for ur to progress- but what sort of education?

      Our Sabah or Sarawak fishing village technology have not developed further than processing belacan. China has put man and woman in space.

      We need to understand the methodology of how to make advances both socially and economically. This can only be firstly resolved by a political change to a more equitable system to replace the feudal capitalist system we have.

      These are links to independent foreign news reports and video clips on how socio economic development in a village in China becomes a world wide eye opener.

      We need to put aside our prejudices explore new horizons.

      We need to honestly ask ourselves how is it possible for 2000 villagers to build a multi-million dollar skyscraper and provide housing food and clothing for all their members in just 30 odd years (20 years shorter than independence in Malaysia)?

      Foreign reports on the miracle of Hauxi Village- Income= $US6 Billion
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huaxi_Village:

      "Huaxi Village is known as the "No.1 village under the sky". It was founded in 1961.[2] All the inhabitants have a wealth of at least one hundred thousand Euros or more, according to the local authorities. This is a substantial amount by Chinese standards. The village has a multi-sector industry company that is listed on the stock exchange, has bought airplanes and plans to buy ships. The villagers are shareholders and are paid one fifth of the company's annual profits. In 2011 the company's turnover is expected to grow by about 6.5 billion Euros.

      In addition to two thousand villagers, there also live in the area about 20 000 migrant workers and 30 000 nearby villagers. "My father was wealthy. Now I want that the villagers will also be that and healthy and happy," says the village chief, Wu XiƩen. His father, a former village chief, Wu Renbao once invested money in raw materials such as aluminum.[3]

      A new landmark skyscraper in Huaxi Village[4], the 328-meter Longxi International Hotel was opened when the village celebrated its 50th anniversary."

      China’s ‘richest village’, Huaxi has its own 7 Wonders of the World

      HUAXI VILLAGE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS WORLD WIDE COVERAGE FOR THE MIRACLE IT IS.

      Sabah is not anywhere near to achieving what 2000 villages have in 30 years.

      We had nearly 50 years in Malaysia under UMNO colonial rule and we got nowhere except having the undesirable distinction of being the poorest State under UMNO rule.

      We have nothing to lose brothers and sisters. We already lost 50 GOOD years of wasting time in Malaysia under FOREIGN Malayan rule? Why ask for more?

      We can only change our destiny by taking Sabah out of Malaysia!

  23. The government is moving forward with one of its flagship projects, an initiative that aims to make the information and communications technology (ICT) sector – already a major contributor to the Malaysian economy – one of its largest components. However, if the state was to achieve its goals there were several issues to be addressed.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Currently, the industry represents around 10 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), a figure the government was keen to increase as it pushed to achieve developed nation status by 2020. That plan was given a boost in early July, when one of the government’s lead agencies in its drive to develop the sector unveiled the first major projects in the Digital Malaysia programme, which was initiated by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, last October.



    ReplyDelete
  25. According to Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, chief executive officer (CEO) of Multimedia Development Corporation Bhd (MDeC), eight of the scheme’s projects have already been approved and will be rolled out in stages.

    ReplyDelete
  26. These and other initiatives will generate US$10 billion in investment value based on a public-private partnership model and will increase ICT’s input to GDP to 17 per cent – US$94 billion – by 2020, Badlisham announced on July 5.


    ReplyDelete
  27. “The investments will be used to create 160,000 jobs, besides providing an additional US$2,300 in annual income for 350,000 citizens via digital income by 2020.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Among the projects that cleared the approval stage are an ‘Asian e-fulfilment hub’, which seeks to develop Malaysia into a regional centre for servicing cross-border e-commerce shipments and e-payment services for micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises.


    ReplyDelete

  29. These thrusts include initiating more demand-focused activities to leverage on the supply, encouraging internet users to come up with products or services while they consume from digital technologies, and increasing the development of local talent in key industries.“Previously, our focus was just to drive the industry.Today, our role has evolved to empowering citizens and businesses to use digital technology to enhance their lives and businesses.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Though the government and its agencies would need to provide more detail on many of the programmes that were in the pipeline, and on how it intended to attract private investment to those initiatives, moving to flesh out Digital Malaysia should encourage the ICT sector.

    ReplyDelete

  31. According to a statement issued by MDeC on July 2, the outlook for that industry should remain positive for the rest of the year, driven by strong domestic demand and higher consumer spending.

    ReplyDelete
  32. This prognosis was supported by a recent forecast by the National ICT Association of Malaysia, which predicted growth of eight to 10 per cent for the sector in 2012.

    ReplyDelete

  33. One cloud on the horizon was the weakening health of the global economy, exacerbated by the ongoing crisis in the eurozone and the slowdown in China.

    ReplyDelete

  34. While domestic demand is expected to remain strong in the near term, Malaysia’s overseas markets for ICT goods and services could experience a contraction in the latter half of this year and into 2013.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Depending on how severe this reduction in demand was, the ICT sector’s growth rate might slow, perhaps significantly.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Another possible pothole was the shortage of skilled engineers and entrepreneurs, many of whom chose to live and work overseas, according to Pua Khein Seng, the chairman and CEO of Taiwan-based Phison Electronics.

    ReplyDelete

  37. “There is potential in the IT industry in Malaysia; we have talents but many of them are overseas,” Pua said in an interview with the Borneo Post in July.

    ReplyDelete
  38. “In Taiwan, we often hear stories of our seniors becoming successful entrepreneurs after graduating, and these instil the belief that ‘I might stand a chance to succeed if I choose to be an entrepreneur.’In Malaysia, we don’t have these kinds of success stories.”

    ReplyDelete
  39. If the government could attract the sort of investment it was expecting and was able to do more to facilitate entrepreneurial endeavours, the ICT sector might yet be able to write a few stories of its own in the years ahead.
