These, PBS/UPKO/PBRS clowns know when to give sweet talks during election time, but for all these years they have failed to protect and defend our basic pride and dignity. Ask these clowns the following facts:
1. Where were you when your government took away our Native Customary Rights (NCR). Did you stand up to defend our rights? What exactly did you do? Why can't you defend these rights?
2. Where were you when this government allowed numerous land grabs on our native land?
3. Where were you on the issue of development? Why are the roads still like they were 30 years ago? Explain why in 30 years there is not much improvement in the road infrastructure and you claim to be happy with this BN government?
4. What did you do when this government was conducting mass Islamic conversion of our people? What did you do when Muslim were making unreasonable demands against our people? Did you at least speak up against their bigoted practices?
5. What did you do when this government refuses to entertain your request for an Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI)? If not because SAPP kept hammering the issue, this government would have never entertained your request.
6. What is the point of “Gelombang Tataba” when it is just another form of corruption. Of using government to gain favour from a specific religious group. Why don't you support the idea of separation of church and state, or religion and the affairs of government, which clearly is an obstacle to the equitable growth and economic prosperity of a nation. The Muslim do this with extreme prejudice, and you are just fostering the legitimacy of the Muslim to give large sums of the peoples' money for the affairs of an idiosyncratic entity. Government should not be in the business of using state money for the express promotion of religions no matter what religion it may be.
7. As the title holder of the Huguan Siou, what have Pairin Kitingan done to defend the sanctity and dignity of this institution when someone misused this title? As far as I know nothing was uttered to defend the integrity of the Huguan Siou institution. 8. When there are over 50% of Momogun people who are in dire poverty, what have you three party clowns done to uplift the living standards of our people? Given the fact that we are naturally a wealthy nation, what efforts if any have you done to help our people get out of poverty?
9. Why is it so hard to find a solution to move our people out of poverty when you yourself is brimming with wealth and prosperity? I can think of many ways to help our people get out of poverty even without government assistance, but why you as part of the government cannot even come up with one single meaningful solution?
10. Have you attempted to fight for at least 20% royalty share of our oil revenues? If not, then why not? You of all parties, born of Sabah have not even until now made a commitment to fight to increase our royalty rights to 20%. You who are sons of this soil ought to be the first ones to fight for our interest, but you did not. Do you still believe you have the right to ask for the people's support?
11. Is it true that Pairin Kitingan is a signitary witness to the Petronas agreement in which Harris Salleh signed off a 5% royalty contract? If so what is Pairin doing today to change this illigitimate contract that was sign under duress?
12. Have you made any attempt to defend our 20 points memorandum rights as promise in the Malaysian agreement of 1963? If not, why? The 20 points is the very core of our nations foundation, but you have conveniently ignored it because you were more interested in your self interest rather than the interest of the people and our nation.
13. Do you still have the right to ask for the people support today when you obviously had neglected all the core fundamentals that guarantees our existence as a autonomous nation?
14. The 1st article in our 20 points memorandum is the issue of “No State Religion in Sabah;” what have you done to support this article as agreed by our fore-fathers and the solemn oath of the “Batu Sumpah” erected in Keningau? For over 20 years, not once did you bring this up with this government of which you are a part of.
15. Why does it fit for you to join with BN to suppress our people? To remain silent with all the policies and acts of this government against our people? Why didn't you take the courageous act of leaving this BN coalition to fight the people even if it meant living in poverty? It is better to live in poverty for as long as everyone is in the same boat, but to make yourself rich while your people are suffering in poverty is totally disgusting. A cowardly act by shameful people. You have betrayed the people and now you want the people to continue to support your party so you can continue to enriched yourself while the people continue to live in abject poverty.
16. Today, this government is contemplating making Bugis as Bumiputra of Sabah. What will you do about it? It is obvious that Bugis do not originate from Sabah just as the Chinese originated from China. The Chinese were in Sabah long before any Bugis came to Sabah. If anyone were to gain the Bumiputra status don't you think the Chinese is first in line?
17. What do you think of the Bugis community giving themselves a hefty 30,000 acres of land for their community's development? Are you going to do anything about it to stop this illigitimate affairs from going forward?
18. What have you done to help our young people who had gone to Malaya in search of jobs and only ending up being prostitutes because they are to poor to find a decent livelihood? What have you done to help our people find jobs? Meaningful jobs and not just kuli kuli sahaja?
19. Do you have a solution to our PTI problems today? How are you going to empower genuine Sabahans? Well SAPP has a solution to this and it is called Sabah IC. What is your solution? Are you willing to support SAPP's Sabah IC solution? If you care about our people why not support this solution?
20. What have you to say about our autonomy? Isn't this our right as promised in our nationhood? What if any is your stands on this matter?
21. What have you done for the non-Muslim people who cannot get a job in government or government agencies? This government had a silent understanding to hire only people of the Muslim faith to ensure that over 80% of government staffs are from the Muslim faith and while all of this is going on, what have you done to fight for the rights of our people or people of the non-Muslim faith? If you have done something wouldn't we see the fruits of your efforts? Why do you have to kowtow to the dictates of this government when it is clear that this government is not for the interest of our people?
22. When government forms depict only Malay, Chinese and Indian as the Malaysian race and marginalized our people by referring native of Sabah as others (Lain Lain), are you agreeable to this? What have you done to fight this injustice?
It is clear that our people are marginalized and very well relegated to third class citizens in our own country, but what have you done about it? Have you tried to even speak up for our basic rights? Obviously, you have not made any meaningful efforts to protect and defend the rights of the Momoguns. You have lost your credibility to represent the peoples hopes and dreams.
You have been a total disappointment to the Momogun people. The only right thing for you to do today is to resign and get out of politics completely as you no longer have the trust of the people. You can continue to hoodwink the people and cheat them to vote for you, but you no longer have the credibility and the legitimacy to speak for the people because you have obviously neglected the very hopes and aspiration of the people to be educated and to be prosperous.
I wrote this reply to your insidious media display (as shown above) to gain the support of the people in just 15 minutes. If I had spend an hour to write this I would have come up with more reasons as to why you (PBS/UPKO/PBRS) no longer have the credibility and legitimacy to call for the people's support.

Gelombang Tataba yang diusahakan kepimpinan Kadazandusun Murut (KDM) dalam tiga parti komponen Barisan Nasional (BN) iaitu Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), Pertubuhan Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Bersatu (Upko) dan Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) dapat memantapkan lagi perpaduan sedia ada di kalangan masyarakat KDM di negeri ini.
ReplyDeleteThe government has granted 890,626.47 hectares of land to natives in Sabah which is an area far larger than even the state of Selangor which is only 795,600 hectares.
DeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said approving land applications was just one of five other means that the government applied in preserving and protecting customary land rights and ownership, apart from people claiming Native Customary Rights (NCR) on land.
DeleteHe stressed that the policy on NCR is still in effect and is being implemented.
Delete“NCR claims can still be submitted to the Assistant Collector of Land Revenue (ACLR) according to Section 14 even though the Sabah Land Ordinance was amended on December 13, 1930.
Delete“At the same time, the State government will strive to increase land ownership for natives under five other means that are easier and more effective,” he said when speaking at the State Assembly .
DeleteThe approval of ownership on native land applications in Sabah has been expedited such that as of August 2012, a total of 35,350 applications were processed with 10,540 endorsed for approval by the Land Utilisation Committee (LUC).
DeleteThe 10,540 cases included 9,922 land applications for Native Titles.
DeleteIn 2011, a total of 17,501 applications were processed with 6,872 endorsed for approval which included 6,218 cases that had applied for Native Titles.
DeleteMusa declared that as of December 2011, the Department of Land & Survey had registered 348,652 cases of land ownership.
DeleteFrom the total, Native Title (NT) land consisted of 190,452 cases in which natives owned land through applications. The number is 55 per cent of the total land ownership registered in Sabah.
DeleteHe assured that land applications will be processed expediently until the backlog of 302,189 cases is cleared.
DeleteThe department had also implemented the e-Kadester system in January 2011 to expedite surveying on NT land under application.
DeleteBy December 2011, there were 4,070 lots that had been surveyed compared to only 2,931 lots in 2010 which used conventional methods.
DeleteThe second means of protecting customary land rights and ownership is gazetting government land for native usage under Section 78 of the Sabah Land Ordinance.
DeleteAs of December 2011, government land that had been gazetted into village reserves or grazing fields amounted to 53,190.857 hectares or 131,437.267 acres.
DeleteThirdly, the government accords land ownership to Natives through the issuance of communal land titles according to the amended Section 76 of the Sabah Land Ordinance that was gazetted on December 10, 2009.
DeleteThe objectives of the communal land title is to protect the interest of natives on government land within the native village settlement; to speed up the process of issuing NT or Field Register land to natives in clusters; to resolve the issue of NCR claims; to resolve the issue of overlapping land applications; and to ensure natives do not sell the land indiscriminately.
DeleteThe objectives of the communal land title is to protect the interest of natives on government land within the native village settlement; to speed up the process of issuing NT or Field Register land to natives in clusters; to resolve the issue of NCR claims; to resolve the issue of overlapping land applications; and to ensure natives do not sell the land indiscriminately.
DeleteMusa said that as of December 2011, seven communal land titles with a total area of 12,777.14 hectares were issued to 2,661 beneficiaries in three districts.
DeleteAnother 52 communal land titles with a total area of 23,046.07 hectares will be given out to 5,373 beneficiaries in seven districts.
DeleteThe Chief Minister explained that the communal land titles can be divided into individual lots when the beneficiary or beneficiaries decide to develop the land.
“When the individual lots have been fully developed, individual land titles will be issued,” he added.
DeleteThe State government intends to issue communal land titles in areas as follows:
DeleteKota Marudu (17,000 acres)
Pitas (10,000 acres)
Tongod (15,000 acres)
Semporna (Mount Pock and Tanjung Nagas Forest Reserves) (5,944 acres)
Musa said at the assembly sitting on April 2010, the State government dissolved 24,563 hectares of the Sook Plain and Mandalom Forest Reserves in a swap with government land for the benefit of the rural communities in those areas.
DeleteThe fourth approach is to grant land ownership under Section 9 (1) of the Sabah Land Ordinance to government agencies for the purpose of agricultural development through smart partnership with natives in that area.
DeleteThe smart partnership aims to eradicate poverty by granting land ownership to natives in-situ; provide job and business opportunities related to agricultural land development to natives in-situ; and to elevate the wellbeing of rural communities.
DeleteFigures in December 2011, show that 36,486.43 hectares that have been or are being developed through the smart partnership.
DeleteOwnership of the entire area that has been developed will be transferred to the natives after the cost of development has been repaid according to the agreement from the partnership.
DeleteAgencies involved in these smart partnerships are the Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB), Sabah Rubber Industry Board, Borneo Samudera Sdn Bhd and the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (FELCRA).
DeleteThe fifth approach is through equity ownership through leasehold on agricultural land for areas that exceed 1,000 acres under Section 9 (1) of the Sabah Land Ordinance.
DeleteMusa said that for every application from an approved company on areas over 1,000 acres for agriculture will be required to accord 30 to 49 per cent of equities to natives or government agencies within five years after the land has been fully developed according to the agriculture development plan.
DeleteThis method has as of December 2011, seen 16 land ownerships of Country Lease (CL) with the 49 per cent equity condition involving an area of 37,514.86 hectares. Similarly, 123 CL land ownerships with the 30 per cent equity requisite totals an area of 240,074.11 hectares.
DeleteFrom the areas, the total equity that is compulsory for land ownership transfer to natives or government agencies is 277,588.97 hectares.
DeleteOf course they are still legit.
DeleteSetiap permohonan harus mengikuti prosedur yang betul.

DeletePairin yang juga Timbalan Ketua Menteri berkata beliau turut mengalu-alukan usaha Gelombang Tataba untuk menggubal perancangan masa panjang atau Pelan Induk KDM dalam menjana pembangunan sosio ekonomi masyarakat KDM.

ReplyDeleteSince when does SAPP pressed for the RCI? It was Pairin whom have made the 'gentle' persuasion that has earn the ear of the prime minister, and even the ear the Chief Minister that has speed up the setting up of the RCI. He was not alone on this as well. Even Dompok backed this call. All SAPP is just an opportunistic vulture that would try everything, even sell their soul to gain the political edge. Even on this social issue, they vulture out to get the political advantage.
ReplyDeleteMasyarakat Kadazandusun Murut (KDM) akan kehilangan kuasa dalam kerajaan jika mereka membuat perhitungan yang salah pada pilihan raya umum ke-13, kata seorang pensyarah.
ReplyDeletemasing-masing berhak membuat pilihan sendiri. Yang penting, demi masa depan dan generasi akan datang.
DeleteHenry Bating dari Unit Bahasa Kadazandusun, Pusat Penataran Ilmu dan Bahasa, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, berkata ini kerana suara komuniti itu tidak diwakili pada peringkat tertinggi dalam parti pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteBerbanding dalam Barisan Nasional (BN) yang mempunyai pemimpin KDM pada peringkat tertinggi, tidak ada etnik KDM yang menjadi presiden parti dalam pakatan pembangkang dan ini akan merumitkan urusan penggubalan dasar berkaitan kepentingan komuniti KDM, katanya.
ReplyDelete"Semangat kekeluargaan BN yang didukung oleh pemimpin KDM dalam BN telah membawa pelbagai kebaikan dan kejayaan kepada masyarakat KDM," katanya.
ReplyDeleteParti komponen harus kerjasama memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk masyarakat KDM.
DeleteAntara kejayaan itu ialah penubuhan kolej KDM, pelaksanaan kurikulum pengajian Kadazandusun di sekolah, kolej, institut dan universiti serta peningkatan status Mahkamah Anak Negeri ke taraf mahkamah sivil, katanya.
ReplyDelete"Ini adalah beberapa pencapaian tersirat yang pada hakikatknya diperoleh hasil kepimpinan kekeluargaan dalam BN, di mana pemimpin-pemimpin utama KDM dalam BN turut memainkan peranan.
ReplyDelete"Mereka (pemimpin KDM dalam BN) bekerja umpama 'diam-diam ubi berisi' dan bukan seperti 'ayam bertelur riuh sekampung' atau 'menang sorak, kampung tergadai'," katanya.
ReplyDeleteSehubungan itu beliau berharap masyarakat KDM tidak terjebak dengan permainan emosi pemimpin KDM parti pembangkang yang membangkitkan pelbagai isu bagi "membakar" perasaan komuniti terbabit dan beralih kepada pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteTegasnya taraf hidup sebahagian besar masyarakat KDM, termasuk di kawasan luar bandar kini sudah jauh lebih baik dengan adanya pelbagai kemudahan peluang ekonomi yang diwujudkan kerajaan BN.
ReplyDelete"Rata-rata pendapatan per kapita mereka jauh lebih baik 10 tahun kebelakangan ini hasil pembangunan kerajaan seperti inisiatif penanaman dan pemasaran getah di kawasan pedalaman," katanya.

DeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman said presently 44 Mesej areas had been set up in the various districts in the state benefitting more than 1,000 hardcore poor household heads.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking to reporters after opening the Ulu Patian Mesej in Mukim Rundum here Friday, he said through the programme, the State Government was able to develop land and at the same time provide income for those living below the abject poor bracket in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteWith the opening up of Ulu Patian Mesej, Kemabong the sub-district under Tenom now has four projects covering about 400 acres of land benefitting 132 hardcore poor households.
ReplyDelete“We will continue with these efforts and we are planning to open up six more to make it 50 Mesej areas altogether to help the people,” he said, adding that it would be done with assistance from the Federal Government as well.
ReplyDeleteEarlier, Musa said it was the aspiration of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government to provide the assistance as it was very concerned with the plight of the people like those in Ulu Patian.
ReplyDeleteHe said that when the people gave them the mandate, BN elected representatives knew they have to ensure they carry out the responsibility entrusted to them and that the people’s welfare are being taken good care.
ReplyDeleteThe Chief Minister said as mentioned by Kemabong Assemblyman, Datuk Rubin Balang the road from Kemabong town to Kampung Ketabu in Mukim Rundum had cost about RM27 million but since Rubin had said that an additional RM10 million was still needed to complete the project he assured that he would check and approve it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to him, it should not be a problem for the government to spend millions of ringgit if it was for development to give outright benefit to the people.
ReplyDeleteThe government should use the money wisely. Over spending for unnecessary project will lead the country go bankruptcy.
DeleteHe reiterated that the country and Sabah was fortunate to have Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the Prime Minister who was very focus in helping the people as evident from his successful Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).
ReplyDeleteSince election is just around the corner, he also reminded the people here to be wary of the tactics of the opposition leaders who would be making their rounds making all sorts of promises to them that they would not be able to fulfil.
ReplyDeleteHe pointed to Selangor, which was among the top and most developed state in the country but now had fallen behind ever since its government was taken over by Pakatan Rakyat.
Meanwhile, Rural Development Minister Datuk Ewon Ebin and Rubin said the Mesej programme was Musa’s brainchild to eradicate poverty in Sabah.
ReplyDeleteApart from rubber and palm oil, aquaculture was also among the core activities for the Mesej programmes.
ReplyDeleteRubin in his speech said Kemabong, in particular was very grateful to Musa who had strived to provide whatever assistance needed by the people.
He said Musa had also created a history of sorts for Tenom as he was the only Chief Minister who had approved to excise about 7,000 acres from the Tomani Forest Reserve for the people.
ReplyDeleteHe said the Chief Minister also told him that more forest reserve areas could be considered for alienation but not before the 7,000 acres had been fully developed.
ReplyDeleteAda saja cemuhan diberi, apa kes la?
ReplyDeleteDont care about their badmouth.
ReplyDeleteNegative people will always find something to say de.
ReplyDeleteIts OK, kita tunggu dan lihat sajalah apa keputusan PRU nanti.
DeleteDont bother with all the naysayers.
ReplyDeleteEntah apa kata para pengundi. For some people mungkin dorang ni tak patut kena sokong lagi tapi utk yang lain pula terutamanya yang pernah merasa hasil bantuan part-parti ini, mereka akan terus bagi sokongan.
ReplyDeleteTidak ada yang sempurna, namanya juga manusia. Bagi saya parti tak salah cuma individu dalam parti yang harus ingat mereka tak patut rosakkan nama baik parti.

ReplyDeletePRESIDENT of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) 'Taiko' Yong Teck Lee’s romancing of the Barisan National may end his love affair with the Sabah opposition front soon. But this new love story bring up the moot question as to why he is so desperate when the Barisan National has hardly given any indication to warmly accommodate him under its fold.

ReplyDeleteIf recent gathering in the meetings of SAPP is any indication, then Yong Teck Lee being adamant to go for a majority of the state seats (60 in Sabah) this coming looming 13th general election on what he termed as “the principle of Sabah autonomy” is all about splitting the opposition votes and helping Barisan National win big.

ReplyDeleteOleh yang demikian, Perdana Menteri berkata rakyat mesti tahu membezakan antara fakta dan auta.
ReplyDelete“Saya lihat banyak yang diutarakan oleh pembangkang ini bukan fakta tapi auta…tidak boleh pakai,” katanya semasa berucap pada majlis makan tengah hari yang dihadiri lebih 30,000 orang di Dataran Kompleks Pentadbiran Daerah Port Dickson di sini, hari ini.
ReplyDeleteNajib berkata pembangkang tuduh bantuan yang diberikan kerajaan kepada rakyat seperti Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) sebagai duit haram, pinjam Bank Dunia (IMF) dan rasuah politik tetapi apabila kerajaan buka daftar untuk BR1M, pembangkang turut mendapatkan bantuan itu, kadang-kandang lebih awal daripada penyokong BN.
ReplyDelete“Tapi kalau tuduh duit haram dan sebagainya, janganlah terima daripada kerajaan….muka tebal…ini yang saya katakan auta. Kerajaan beri (BR1M) atas fakta iaitu kerajaan kita telah mengurus tabdir negara kita dengan baik dan kita pulangkan hasil kepada rakyat.
ReplyDelete“Sebagai sebuah kerajaan, kita mestilah melakukan yang terbaik untuk kepentingan rakyat. Salah satu daripada ukuran atau pun penentuan yang penting dalam sistem demokrasi berparlimen dan terbuka seperti yang diamalkan oleh negara kita ialah kita mesti membina kepercayaan dan keyakinan rakyat terhadap kerajaan,” katanya.
ReplyDeleteTataba Operation to unite KDM community for common good
ReplyDeleteThe President of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan believes that the Tataba Operation will stimulate a positive change in mindset and socio-economic development.
ReplyDeleteHe said that the operation includes the transformation of mind, character building to produce a race that is independent, dignified, competitive and progressive.
ReplyDeleteTataba Operation is a church related initiative organised by the KadazanDusun and Murut ethnic-based component parties of Barisan Nasional (BN) comprising Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Organisation (UPKO) and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) to provide assistance to churches in the state as well as other activities to benefit the community.
ReplyDeleteThe Tataba Operation aims to enhance unity among the Kadazandusun Murut (KDM) community. It was launched at the Hongkod Koisaan KDCA, on Sunday.
ReplyDelete“We can no longer solve problems today with a mindset entrenched in the 60s. So I urge the KDM community to adopt a mindset in line with changing times. We must be able to look far ahead and see our potentials to spur progress in the community and in the nation,” Tan Sri Pairin said.
ReplyDeleteHe also stressed that the KDM community is entitled to fair and equitable development.
ReplyDeleteThe Deputy Chief Minister is pleased with the efforts of the Tataba Operation to formulate a master plan for the socio-economic development of the KDM community. The blueprint's objective is to ensure that the KDM community can be on par with other communities socially and economically.
ReplyDelete“The KDM master plan (blueprint) is still in the pipeline but we should all realise that the objectives of the plan cannot be achieved without unity, understanding and cooperation among the political parties that represent the KDM community,” he said.

ReplyDeleteBN DALAM PBS/UPKO/PBRS TERUS DIPERLUKAN DI SABAH
ReplyDeleteBN MAKES SABAH BETTER
The coming state assembly elections for Sabah may be a pivotal moment in determining the future trajectory of the state’s political economy and indeed progress, in the near term. Pitted against each other are two contesting visions of Sabah: the incumbent coalition government comprising the Umno-led BN in a coalition with local parties Party Bersatu Sabah (PBS), United Pasok Momogun Kadazan Organisation (UPKO),Party Bersatu Rayat Sabah (PBRS) and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), are campaigning on a platform of good governance which is supported by the arithmetic of rapid economic growth — approximately 7 per cent on average — in the last ten years of Musa Aman’s government.

ReplyDeleteOn the other side is the Pakatan Rakyat combine shepherded by Anwar Ibrahim and Bumburing’s Angkatan Perubahan Sabah (APS) and Lajim Ukin’s Pertubuhan Pakatan Perubahan Sabah (PPPS), which still believes that it can acquire power in Kota Kinabalu by manipulating the state’s race and religious arithmetic in its favour. The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and Sabah STAR is the third front in this contest — trying to take on the incumbent government on a Borneo agenda-Sabah autonomy, rather than governance plank — but not yet powerful enough to be a credible alternative in government, leaving many to believe that both the SAPP and Star Sabah have been planted by Barisan National to split the opposition votes. After all, President Yong Teck Lee himself will have plenty explaining to do on what he did during his tenure as chief minister when SAPP was in the BN.

ReplyDeleteIt would be in the larger interest of the state of Sabah and its people if this election puts to rest the notion that power can still be captured based on old social divisions and grievances. It is important for Sabah’s political economy to move on to a politics of aspiration, where people vote for a party or coalition that delivers governance. This will force all serious political parties (including the SAPP and Sabah Star if they want to remain relevant) to contest future elections on a forward looking governance plank in the spirit of the Malaysia Agreement within the framework of the Federal Constitution, rather than a backward looking social engineering plank. This time round, such reasoning undoubtedly favours the UMNO-PBS combination which is the main pillar of Barisan National Sabah, and a majority of opinion polls, for what they are worth, suggest an easy victory for the Musa Aman-led coalition.

ReplyDeleteBut a political economy which puts governance at its centre may not favour the incumbent government for all times to come, such are the huge challenges facing any government that is elected to power in Sabah. To what extent can Musa Aman’s government claim credit for Sabah’s apparent turnaround, powered by a growth rate higher than Malaysia’s average over the last five years? A dissection of the growth figures shows both the contribution of the government and the challenges that remain. Most of Sabah’s growth these past five years has been powered by agriculture, construction, tourism and services, particularly hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, trade and, to an extent, oil and gas. The impressive growth in these sectors isn’t matched by the lethargic performance in manufacturing — those are challenges that still face the next government.
BN DALAM PBS/UPKO/PBRS TERUS DIPERLUKAN DI SABAH . BN MAKES SABAH BETTER
ReplyDeleteThe state government can claim credit for fuelling the growth in agriculture, fisheries, tourism and construction, since much of this has come through rural development projects, water supply, electrification, bridges and roads funded through the federal and state’s exchequer. In fact, the government’s public spending record has been good, and a massive improvement on the poor spending record of the previous governments before Musa Aman that preceded it. Planned spending was tripled within ten years of the Musa Aman government taking office. This has spillover effects, in a Keynesian “stimulus” sense. Apart from increasing spending, the government has also taken huge strides in improving the law and order situation especially in the east coast of Sabah where bulk of the illegals with fake or questionable Malaysian identity have outnumbered the locals. That has helped boost not just agriculture and the construction activity but has also given a fillip to service industries in the tourism sector like hotels and restaurants which have registered impressive growth.

ReplyDeleteIn short, the government has effected the turnaround in the state’s economic fortunes by simply doing the two things any good government ought to: implementing law and order as well as spending on infrastructure. In doing so, it has reversed the long decline in the state’s fortunes that took place before Musa Aman took over the chief ministers in 2003. It is also important to remember that a lot of this impressive growth in the last five years has plenty to do with Sabah starting from a very low base — and that there is a limit to the sustainability of a growth rate that is powered largely by government spending and a small section of services industries and not forgetting that Sabah is the 2nd largest state in Malaysia with an area of 74,500 sq. km which is 260 times bigger than Penang, which is only 293 sq. km in size even, smaller than Sabah Forest Industries (SFI). Therefore for growth to be sustainable it needs to be more broad-based into manufacturing and agriculture.

ReplyDeleteHere, the task gets a lot harder, and will involve massive policy reform in land, labour and product markets. What makes Sabah’s task of industrialisation harder than that of some other states is the fact that goods are more expensive in Sabah due to the federal government’s cabotage rules a policy set in the early 1980s, making sure that all the domestic transport of foreign goods could only be done by Malaysian vessels, reducing Sabah’s attractiveness as an investment destination. This protectionist policy has led to excessive shipping costs, importers and exporters in Sabah had to pay more than RM1 billion for shipping services as a result, causing prices everywhere in East Malaysia to go up and ultimately a higher cost of living and higher price of goods as producers hike up prices to compensate the increase in cost of production. Further more, Sabah lost a lion’s share of its industries after Labuan became a Federal Territory.

ReplyDeleteWhat may also turn out to be an unforeseen advantage is the rather shambolic state of governance in surrounding states — Sarawak, Brunei, The Sulu States, and even Kalimantan. If Sabah can consistently outperform these states on governance, it could easily become the industrial hub of East Malaysia — a region which still trails Penang and Selangor on most economic parameters by some distance.

ReplyDeleteBut to capitalise on these potential advantages, the Musa Aman government will have to do much more than maintain law and order and actively engage in spending which has been done of late with a huge budget approval of over RM4 billion this year. It will also need to take bold policy steps to liberalise rules that deter investment. In doing so it may have to go further than other states which already have a head start in attracting investment. The government will, for example, need to ease labour laws and better wages, so that Sabahans can be gainfully employed within the state. It will need to take aggressive steps to ease land acquisition so that it can have an advantage over neighbouring Sarawak. If the government fails to do this and more, growth will begin to slow, giving the opposition plenty of ammunition. At any rate, Sabah’s future elections ought to be fought on these issues of the future rather than the outdated legacies of the past. This leaves Musa Aman still the best man for the job.
I dont understand why some people tend to disgrace the trio.
ReplyDeleteApakah kesalahan mereka ?
ReplyDeleteThey are helping out.
ReplyDeleteI wish them luck.
ReplyDeleteThey wont do something stupid.
ReplyDeleteSabahans are belong to here.
ReplyDeleteWalau macam mana pun perjuangan tetap ada.
ReplyDeleteAll I see is that the KDM being marginalized. PBS/UPKO/PBRS had many long years to fight to improve the livelihood standards of KDM, but they did nothing. Why is it that we are today a marginalized people?
