Most top federal civil service posts in East
Malaysia are still being held by those from the Peninsula, a prickly
matter for a Sabahan MP.
In a parliamentary written response to Sepanggar MP (SAPP) Eric Majimbun, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said that 8 out of 24 people holding top federal service positions in Sabah were Sabahans.
Eleven out of 22 people holding federal service positions in Sarawak were Sarawakian, the response added.
In Sabah, 64% of the 16,858 federal management and professional posts (10,816) as well as 87% of the 49,955 lower-ranking (termed as “pelaksana”) posts (40,108) were held by Sabahans.
For Sarawak, 70% of the 15,060 federal management and professional posts (10,534), while 91% of the 49,778 lower-ranking (termed as “pelaksana”) posts (45,325) were held by Sarawakians.
These numbers did not appear to include security forces such as the military or the police.
Speaking to FMT, Majimbun accused the federal government of marginalising East Malaysians, especially where the civil service was concerned.
He said that the matter was more serious in Sabah than it was in Sarawak, with posts being allocated in recent years.
“No doubt the federal government has been trying to patch up, especially in the last few years with the election round the corner.
“Posts have been given to Sabahans in recent years, but this is just an eye-wash. For over 40 years, posts have hardly been given to Sabahans.
“Even if they have been given director posts, they don’t have any power,” he said.
For example, Majimbun said that most district police chiefs were not even Sabahans.
Using Sabah as a trial ground
The Sepanggar MP also did not believe Najib’s numbers, alleging that many Sabahans could have been West Malaysians in disguise.
“There are West Malaysians who are transferred to Sabah, and have to work for a few years, so they bring their families here.
“When they apply for a job here, they will [call themselves] as Sabahan,” he said.
Another issue on this, he added, was Putrajaya’s tendency to use Sabah as a trial ground for West Malaysian graduate teachers in schools there.
This, he said, was detrimental to Sabahan students as they would not get quality education.
Borneanisation is one of the topics listed under Sabah’s 20-Point Agreement with Malaysia, following its inclusion into the Federation in 1963.
This stated that the Borneanisation of the civil service would proceed as quickly as possible.
Some critics have pointed out that this has not happened, and that West Malaysians still have a firm grip over the civil service there.
Sebab orang Sabah BODOH ma !!!
ReplyDeleteBN boleh !!!
Nowadays even policemen are from PATI decendants.
ReplyDeleteSabahan can eat their own shit now because we're colonised by 2 ends - west Malaysian BN and Philippine people's.
The rise of the lycan .... Oops I mean the rise of the Filipino !!!!
DeleteSabahan the vampire must do something. Let's start the evolution people !!!!
This was because of BN/UMNO/Mahathir/Local traitors. Cannot completely blame the people of Sabah. They were cheated left right and center and there was not much they could have done about it then.
DeleteALL THE TERMS OF THW 20/18 POINTS HAVE BEEN TRASHED BY UMNO!
DeleteBorneonisation was replaced by Malayanisation from DAY1- They grabbed our jobs
Sabah Control of resources- they grabbed our oil & gas
Sabah control of finances- they decide on what to give back after they stole ourt oil money- in the hundreds of billions
Sabah control over land- they grabbed our land e.g. Felda stole over 300000 hectares
Sabah standard of living for majority- plunged deeper as they over taxed us and imposed high import tariffs (cabotage)...Sabah becomes the poorest "state" (colony).
Sabah Independence- they stole our independence & colonized us again and replaced the British colonial masters.
What have the Malayan UMNO con men not yet stolen??? Our ID, language religion?
Sabah people must unite to support our local opposition party SAPP to take back the Sabah government from party malaya and to restore back the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
ReplyDeleteWe have enough shits created by these party malaya party in Sabah!
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't SAPP in venture with PR which is a party malaya?
DeleteI agree but SAPP should cooperate with other local parties (not with PR) to ensure 1 to 1 fight against BN.
DeleteGUYS LOOK AT UNITY OF CONVENIENCE TO GET RID OF UMNO & THEN WORK FOR INDEPENDENCE.
DeleteWe are aware of Malayan parties to take advantage of our safe deposit status and grab out votes.
It is crucial that we all unite out vote out UMNO first.
MALAYANS GO HOME!
DeleteSAPP is too weak...
DeleteSAPP? SAPP will repeat the same history. Loser...
DeleteIn reply to: "Sabah people must unite to support our local opposition party SAPP to take back the Sabah government from party malaya and to restore back the Malaysia Agreement 1963."
DeleteNo thanks.
SAPP will never win.. berhentilah bermimpi.
DeleteSAPP hanya mencari isu untuk di panaskan, isu ini tidak perlu di politikkan.
DeleteIts not possible for SAPP to win. Every voters have their own judgement regarding SAPP.
DeleteWe need a strong local party but unfortunately SAPP is not a strong one.
DeleteStop dreaming SAPP..
DeleteSAPP cannot be trust anymore.
DeleteIn the paper today, there will be a think tank set by The public service Commission (PSC) to study the reason why the poor number of non-Bumiputeras applying for jobs in the civil service. The think tank also to find a ways to tackle the problem.
ReplyDeleteI hope the same method can be use to tackle the issue mention in this articles. There must be something can be done to know which part that needed to be fixed. I am sure the Government will make sure that the 20 point can be delivered like the way it should.
i don't think the same method is useful to solve the issue of Borneanisation. the only way is by implemented the 20 points agreement..
DeleteTidak kira Borneonisasi ataupun perjanjian 20 perkara pun sama-sama penting. Diharapkan PSC tersebut akan membantu memperjuangkan hak rakyat Sabah.
Deleterasanya ramai sudah anak2 sabah yang berkelulusan dan layak untuk menjawat jawatan2 tertinggi jabatan2 persekutuan di sabah..
ReplyDeleteMasih ramai juga orang dari semenanjung diimport ke Sabah untuk sesetengah jawatan.
DeleteJangan fikir negatif ada, mungkin ada sebab tertentu napa mereka masih di hantar ke Sabah untuk jawatan tertentu.
Deletepatut orang Sabah diberi keutamaan. ramai juga cakap2 luar sana saya dengar ada yang dipilih berdasarkan agama.
Deleteanak2 Sabah dan Sarawak seharusnya diberi peluang menjawt jawatan tinggi dalam jabatan kerajaan peringkat negeri.
ReplyDeletesebenarnya ramai anak2 tempatan yang layak dan berkebolehan. mereka harus diberi peluang.
ReplyDeleteBorneonisation mesti berterusan.
DeleteBetultu, anak-anak tempatan juga berkebolehan juga, diharapkan Borneonisasi akan dipertahankan.
DeletePerlukah anak jati Sabah Sarawak merayu untuk jawatan yang lebih tinggi bila jawatan itu sepatutnya dipegang oleh mereka?
DeleteRakyat Sabah dan sarawak tidak perlu merayu, pasti mereka akan dei beri peluang untuk memegang jawatan tinggi.
Deleteorang Sabah kena bersaing dengan orang dari SM lah kalau begini.
DeleteRakyat Sabah dan Sarawak perlulah diberikan keutamaan untuk memegang jawatan tinggi dalam kerajaan.
ReplyDeleteAda juga rakyat Sabah dan Sarawak yang memegang jawatan tinggi dalam kerajaan. Cuma mungkin tidak banyak lah.
DeleteJust as long they are qualified, then they should be appointed to hold a high post in their own state.
Deletemakin ramai sudah anak Sabah pegang jawatan tinggi..harap akan lebih ramai lagi.
DeleteApa saja jawatan perlu dipegang oleh mereka yang layak dan berkebolehan dan bukan hanya ikut bangsa dan agama.
ReplyDeleteA person should be appointed for a position not based on their race or religion but whether they are qualified for the position.
Deleteya, kelayakan juga penting dalam menjawat sesuatu jawatan.
Deleteim sure sabahan is just as good as the west malaysian. They should be given a chance to hold top federal civil service posts in their own state.
ReplyDeletekeutamaan harus diberikan kepada rakyat Sabah yang berkelayakan untuk mengisi jawatan di Sabah.
ReplyDeletesemoga pekara ini akan diuruskan dengan sebaiknya.
ReplyDeleteharap lebih ramai anak Sabah akan mengisi jawatan tinggi dalam jabatan-jabatan awam di sini.
ReplyDeleteMampukah SAPP beri yang terbaik buat rakyat Sabah kalau selama ini mereka hanya dilihat tahu bercakap saja.
ReplyDeleteSelama ni pun, entah apa yang SAPP dah buat utk Sabah. Tapi entahlah susah mahu cakap lain orang lain pandangannya, so tunggu dan lihat sajalah nanti.
ReplyDeleteSAPP telah buat banyak untuk rakyat Sabah...hanya orang tidak nampak dalam news saja.
DeleteHal ini patut diuruskan dengan baik dan pastikan orang tempatan diberi keutamaan.
ReplyDeleteOrang tempatan pasti akan dapat peluang jika layak dan bijak mencari peluang itu:)
ReplyDeleteSemua hal pun nak dikaitkan dengan parti politik. hhhmmm, susahlah mcm ni. Sikit2 pun politik:P
ReplyDeletePerkara ini dalam perlaksanaan sekarang ini untuk memberikan keutamaan kepada penduduk Sabah dan Sarawak memegang jawatan tertinggi dalam perkhidmatan awam.
ReplyDeleteSekarang memang kalau kita lihat kebanyakkan pegawai kerajaan adalah dari semenanjung. Jadi sudah sampai masanya pendudu tempatan sendiri yang mengambil alih mengenai perkara ini.
ReplyDeletebagaimana pula dengan warga Sabah yang memegang jawatan penting di jabatan2 persekutuan di semenanjung?? kalau dikumpulkan semua ini, pasti jumlahnya lebih dari 24 kan??
ReplyDeletemacam ni saja la.. saya harap rakyat di negeri2 lain juga perlu bangkit membantah sekiranya ada warga Sabah yang menjawat jawatan penting di mana2 jabatan persekutuan di negeri mereka..
ReplyDeleteThis is not suppose to be the focus of this matter regarding to the civil service; The civil service has no choice but to adopt a bold, 21st century approach to the way they do their work if they intend to realise the 1Malaysia vision, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
ReplyDeleteHe said the civil service needed to deliver on the People First, Performance Now promise to the rakyat who have high expectations.
Delete“We need to constantly find ways to bring forward new ideas as whoever wins in the contestation of ideas will succeed.
Delete“This is the character of the 21st century. (We need) big, bold ideas with effective and speedy execution,” he said in his keynote address at a premier dialogue with the civil service at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
DeleteNajib said Malaysians can be proud of the country's performance under the Governments three-pillar transformation plan, with record trade and investment figures and a resilient local economy in the face of the global economic crises.
DeleteHe, however, pointed out that there is still a long way to go for Malaysia to become a developed and high-income economy.
Delete“That is why I challenge everyone, including myself, to think of new and creative ideas that we can push forward.
Delete“We must look at all aspects, be it new ideas or internal processes where we can improve or start a new paradigm to do business,” he said.
DeleteNajib also focused on the need for the civil service to be adaptable to situations when dealing with the rakyat, as there are huge regional differences that only add to the complexity of Malaysian society.
Delete“We have to learn how to adjust to the expectations of the rakyat.” he said, adding that the Government is at the same time working towards prudent and responsible fiscal management of the country.
