The last five years have seen huge areas in Kota Belud that were traditionally planted with padi left abandoned and not rehabilitated.
KOTA BELUD: It’s been five years since the government promised to turn Kota Belud into the “rice bowl” of Sabah, but until now there’s been no change in the ‘size’ and ‘output’ of the padi fields in area and to top this the district’s quota of subsidised rice has also been withdrawn.
Posing several questions, Sabah Progressive Peoples Party (SAPP) supreme council member Peter Marajin asked: “Where is the promise made five years ago? Why was the quota withdrawn?”.
Marajin claimed the Musa Aman-led state government had promised to increase padi output from 3.5 tonnes to 10 tonnes per hectare, and asked “have they achieved it?”
Marajin said now that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had laid bare his achievements over the past five years, it was essential that the state BN do the same.
“Just as Najib laid out in public his achievements yesterday, we call upon the BN leaders in Kota Belud to show us what they achieved in the last five years, since the last general election in 2008.
“We are focused and just want to know about the “rice bowl project”. Please outline your report card on how you spent taxpayers money and the real padi output increase or output of other agricultural produce in the district,” Marajin said, daring the leadership in the district to come clean on the budgets and outputs.
Marajin also said he had received reports that the federal Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry had last year withdrawn from a Kota Belud rice supplier, his quota of subsidised rice to the tune of 100 metric tonne a month.
“Up to today, the industry claimed, the withdrawn rice quota for Kota Belud has not been given or passed on to other suppliers. That means we are short of subsidised rice.
“We would like to know if this is the reason why supply of subsidised rice Beras Nasional in the district has been inadequate lately,” he asked.
He said if the rumoured withdrawal of subsidised rice quota was untrue, then why did the ministry issue such quotas for the district?
Leaders must explain
Marajin also claimed that nothing had been done to help padi farmers rehabilitate their padi fields.
He said there were still many areas not irrigated after five year. He cited as an example the huge area in Kelawat plains.
“The last five years has seen huge areas that were traditionally planted with padi in Kota Belud abandoned and not rehabilitated.
“The people would love to hear Barisan Nasional leaders explain how this five years had passed by…” Marajin said.
He added that certain BN leaders had only started to realise ‘the issues’ at the end their five-year term.
“We have BN leaders who did not care to do something positive even though they passed by those abandoned padi fields almost every week for the last five years.
“And they have the audacity to hoodwink us by saying they were turning our district into “rice bowl” of Sabah,” he said.

DeleteThe government’s plans to expand the sector, which remains dominated by palm oil, rubber and cocoa, have been largely welcomed, although critics warn of the need to keep the spotlight on education and research and development, which they say will prove crucial in driving innovation and boosting productivity.
DeleteIn December, the director of the Malaysia Productivity Corporation, Burhanuddin Saidin, said that Sabah’s fledgling agro-tourism industry could be instrumental in boosting both the state’s productivity levels and its appeal as a leisure destination.
DeleteHe said goat-rearing, mushroom-growing and bee-farming projects already under development, alongside state initiatives such as the Sabah Agriculture Park, which is home to rare wild orchid and fruit species, highlighted the industry’s potential.
DeleteAgro-tourism has great potential to generate lucrative income to Sabah and continuous effort is being undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry to further enhance the state’s agro-tourism,” he stated at the Malaysia International Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro Tourism Exhibition.
DeleteSome of the RM463.01m ($152.86m) allocated to agriculture in the 2013 budget will spearhead Sabah’s efforts to increase its food supply, including a joint initiative between the state and federal government to transform Kota Belud into a rice granary.
DeleteA total of 800 ha have been allocated to the Kota Belud Padi Estate “rice bowl” project, which is being rolled out following an agreement signed in November between the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry and the Kota Belud Farmers’ Organisation.
DeleteA range of innovative techniques will be introduced under the initiative, including double-cropping and flood mitigation, together with a tertiary level water management system.
DeleteThe project falls under the umbrella of the broader National Key Economic Area initiative, which aims to increase the average production of rice grain for each farmer to 8.5 metric tonnes per ha by 2020.
Hopes are high that the “rice bowl” initiative, which also offers incentives valued at RM1.6m ($530,000), could produce its first harvests in May 2013.

DeleteImproving food security through agri-food initiatives is a key aim of Sabah’s government.
In December, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak expressed concern at the low level of rice production in rural areas, saying that more research and development was needed to help the local industry innovate, increase production and push primary commodities up the value chain.

DeleteHis views echoed earlier comments made by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry and Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Yahya Hussin in November.
Delete“The transformation of [the agriculture sector] has to be further enhanced, from the planting stage to the marketing of agriculture produce, through programmes to produce more agro-entrepreneurs, encourage good agriculture practices and upgrading of infrastructure,” the minister said.
DeleteWhile initiatives aimed at boosting food productivity are gaining pace, concerns have been raised that the dominant palm oil industry is limiting agri-food development.
DeleteYahya acknowledged in December that 300,000 ha of land suitable for paddy was already covered with oil palm, leaving just 35,000 ha for food crops.
DeleteIn the same month, former Sabah chief minister Yong Teck Lee suggested the state could buy all the oil palm fruits and initiate bio-diesel production on the back of falling palm oil prices.
Delete“This can be the win-win solution for both parties,” he said. Palm oil fruits are currently trading at RM360 ($118.9)-RM380 ($125.5) per metric tonne, down from a previous high of between RM700 ($231.09) and RM800 ($264.11).
However, its efforts to cultivate new segments of the industry that rely on innovation have highlighted the importance of developing human resources, while also encouraging greater private sector participation.

ReplyDeleteKejayaan sesebuah projek persawahan, banyak bergantung kepada sumber air. Pada asalnya Empangan Tambatoun dirancang sebagai sumber air, namun protes daripada penduduk kampong itu, mungkin mengakibatkan empangan itu terbatal dengan sendirinya.
ReplyDeletePada awalnya, apabila perancangan pembinaan empangan itu, penduduk bersedia berkorban demi lebih 80 ribu penduduk Kota Belud. Entah apa yang mengakibatkan penduduk Tambatoun tiba-tiba naik angin memprotes pembinaan empangan itu. Apabila perkabaran mengenai protes penduduk itu meluas, maka pihak pembangkang menimba di air keroh.
ReplyDeleteSemasa Jelapang Padi diuar-uarkan, dan kebetulan projek itu menjadi “anak angkat” kepada ADUN Tempasuk-Datuk Musbah Jamli, ada pemimpin tertentu pernah berkata “potong lehernya” kalau projek itu berjaya. Manakala seorang pemimpin tertentu lagi melakukan gerak saraf termasuk menghasut penduduk kampong yang terlibat agar tidak bersetuju dengan projek itu, termasuklah penduduk kampong Tambatoun.
ReplyDeleteBukan sahaja Projek Jelapang Padi menjadi sasaran pemimpin-pemimpin tertentu itu akan tetapi juga projek Agropolitan Kota Belud. Atas sebab itu, beberapa orang penduduk melakukan pemagaran pada kawasan di mana projek agropolitan itu bertapak.
Inilah masalah utama Kota Belud. Jika dari dahulu kawasan ini dibangunkan, sudah tentu penduduknya tidak ramai yang tersenarai sebagai rakyat miskin.
ReplyDeleteKota Belud tidak mempunyai khazanah kekayaan seperti kayu kayan atau perladangan. Kota Belud hanya mempunyai tanah landai yang sesuai untuk tanaman padi, perbukitan yang sesuai untuk tanaman getah dan lautan untuk perikanan. Dikeranakan tiga bidang ini belum maju, maka secara automatic juga penguasahanya yakni petani, pekebun atau nelayan tidak maju.
Rakyat sendiri juga harus berusaha bersama dengan kempen pembangunan oleh kerajaan.
DeleteIndustri pertaninan mempunyai potensi yang baik. Harus diusahakan dengan teknologi yang maju agar hasil dapat dipertingkatkan lagi.
DeleteKalau betul mahu tolong, buatlah free trade zone di Kota Belud, ini jalan raya pun macam mimpi buruk.
DeleteDisebabkan percaturan politik, maka ada pemimpin tertentu mahu projek Jelapang Padi gagal. Pemimpin itu, tahu betul, bahawa nadi kejayaan Jepalang Padi kota Belud adalah empangan Tambatoun. Atas sebab itu, secara tidak ketara, tindakan-tindakan dan gerakan rahsia dijalankan demi menggagalkan pembinaan empangan itu.
ReplyDeleteSokongan dan persefahaman harus ada untuk menjayakan projek ini yang memanfaatkan semua pihak.
DeleteMasalahnya, walaupun pemimpin tertentu itu akan menyokong kejayaan projek Jelapang Padi, apa kah juga penduduk yang melakukan protes itu akan setuju? Kini, penduduk yang berada dalam lingkungan di mana empangan itu dibina, telahpun masuk dalam kawalan pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteSikap mementingkan diri harus dielakkan. Yang penting projek yang dilaksanakan memanfaat semua pihak.
DeleteKerana keadaan ini, maka sukar bagi kerajaan melaksanakan projek empangan itu, kecualilah secara paksaan sama seperti kejadian zaman Berjaya, di Sorob, apabila berlaku kematian penduduk kerana protes terhadap wujudnya kem askar Sorob (kini Kem paradise).
ReplyDeleteMampukah pemimpin tertentu meneutralisasikan keadaan, sehingga penduduk yang pada awalnya bersetuju, bertukar kepada tidak bersetuju, kemudian bertukar kepada bersetuju, kerana pemimpin yang mengerakan penentangan sudahpun bersetuju?
ReplyDeleteSeramai 160 pemilik sawah padi di Kota Belud menerima insentif wang tunai berjumlah RM809 bagi seekar atau RM2,000 sehektar sebagai sebahagian daripada matlamat kerajaan untuk membangun kegiatan penanaman padi.
ReplyDeleteBaguslah industri penanaman dapat diterokai dengan baik dan menjana pendapatan yang lumayan.
DeleteInsentif itu disampaikan oleh Timbalan Ketua Menteri, Datuk Yahya Hussin di Kota Belud baru-baru ini di mana ia adalah sebahagian daripada Insentif Pengurusan Pusat di bawah Bidang Ekonomi Utama Negara (NKEA) bagi Projek Pertanian atau Entry Point 11 (EPP 11).
ReplyDeleteYahya, yang juga Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Makanan, berkata matlamat EPP 11 di Kota Belud adalah untuk meningkatkan produktiviti penanaman padi. Program ini akan dijalankan secara berperingkat bermula pada Januari 2013, apabila penanam padi di Kampung Taun Gusi Kerajangan, Taun Gusi Padang dan Jawi-Jawi menerima bantuan penanaman daripada kerajaan.
ReplyDeleteProgram ini akan diteruskan sehinggalah pada tahun 2020, di mana ketika itu nanti, diharap ia akan meliputi kawasan seluas lebih 5,000 hektar, jika semua berjalan mengikut rancangan.
ReplyDeleteProjek harus dipantau agar dijalan lancar dan mencapai kejayaan.
DeletePeserta program akan menerima insentif bagi setiap musim penanaman. Menjelas lanjut mengenai program penanaman itu, Yahya berkata, kerajaan tidak berniat untuk mengambil alih tanah itu.
ReplyDeleteIsu tanah masih tiada penyelesaian yang jelas.
DeleteInsentif harus diberi mengikut skim yang betul.
DeleteSebaliknya, ia mendapatkan persetujuan pemilik tanah untuk membenarkan tanah itu digunakan untuk tempoh tertentu bagi membolehkan kerja-kerja menaik taraf dilakukan secara sistematik.
ReplyDeletePerbincangan dan persefahaman harus ada antara pemaju dan pemilik agar tiada masalah besar dan isu salaha faham.
DeleteHarus mendapat persetujuan untuk melaksanakan projek.
DeleteKomponen pertanian NKEA akan memberi tumpuan kepada mengubah pertanian kecil-kecilan dan tradisional kepada mengeluarkan beras dalam industri perniagaan tani berskala besar yang akan menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kemampanan.
ReplyDeleteMelalui program peningkatan taraf ini, harus juga hasil penanaman juag bertambahan.
DeleteNKEA pertanian dijangka meningkatkan Pendapatan Negara Kasar Negara (PNK) sehingga 28.9 bilion menjelang tahun 2020 dengan menjana 74,600 peluang pekerjaan.
ReplyDeleteIndustri pertanian adalah unsur utama pendapatan negara juga. Harus diusahakan dengan baik juga.
DeletePerkembangan ini pasti menjana dan mengubah taraf kehidupan dengan baik.
DeletePengagihan insentif (NKEA Pertanaian EPP11) kali kedua sebanyak RM535,000 kepada 206 peserta projek jelapang padi di sini membuktikan bahawa kerajaan benar-benar berusaha membangunkan ekonomi rakyat tidak seperti yang didakwa oleh pihak pembangkang tidak berasas.
ReplyDeletePembantu Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Makanan, Datuk Musbah Haji Jamli, berkata program seumpama itu merupakan sebahagian daripada hasil permulaan projek mega seperti jelapang padi dan agropolitan pada masa akan datang.
ReplyDeleteKatanya, kerajaan tidak berhasrat mengambil tanah-tanah sawah milik petani seperti yang didakwa pembangkang yang kononnya geran tanah sawah itu akan diambil oleh kerajaan.
ReplyDelete“Sedangkan kerajaan memberikan insentif kepada petani (terlibat projek jelapang padi) melalui agensinya Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Kota Belud bagi menggalakkan para petani mengusahakan s.awah padi mereka,” jelasnya.
ReplyDeleteMusbah yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Tempasuk berkata demikian pada pelancaran Majlis Taklimat dan Penyerahan Insentif kepada perserta projek(NKEA Pertanain EPP 11), di Dewan Datuk Musbah, di Kampung Taun Gusi, di sini, pada Isnin (18 Mac 2013).
ReplyDeleteMusbah juga menyifatkan penyerahan insentif EPP 11 kali kedua itu sebagai permulaan kerajaan memberikan pulangan dan meningkatkan pendapatan ekonomi masyarkat petani di daerah itu.
ReplyDeleteSehubungan itu, beliau yakin sungguh diatas usaha PPK, Kota Belud, yang telah menerima hak pengurusan penuh untuk merealisasikan misi dan visi projek (NKEA Pertanaian EPP11) menjelang tahun 2020 dengan bantuan nasihat pakar daripada agensi AMC yang mahir dalam bidang pertanian.
ReplyDeleteRakyat juga harus menyertai program agar lebih bijak menguruskan pertanian masing-masing agar hasil lebih lumayan.

I want to talk about Sabah specifically. I don't care about the Peninsular because it is clearly more prosperous and I don't live there. I believe these statistics do not apply in Sabah. In Sabah the poverty rate remained as high as 19.7 in 2009. Also goods in Sabah are more expensive than the Peninsular. This is after decades of BN rule.

According to him, what is important is for Sabahans to evaluate thoroughly and make the best comparison of the BN government’s excellent track record as well as the promises it had fulfilled.
“They should also look at the benefits that they have and are still enjoying through the implementation of various initiatives as well as transformation.
“It is a fact that we are far more realistic compared to the manifesto and empty promises of the opposition.
“I believe with the record and achievement report, the BN government will continue to spark off our spirit, resolve and commitment towards ensuring the development and success will be on par with the country’s development and transformation agenda.

Perancangan dan pelaksanaan Program Transformasi Kerajaan (GTP) dan Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP) ialah satu eksperimen paling berani kerajaan dalam mengamalkan prinsip ketelusan dan kebertanggungjawaban terhadap rakyat, kata Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
ReplyDeletePerdana Menteri berkata inisiatif yang dilaksanakan di bawah GTP dan ETP, yang masing-masing diperkenalkan pada tahun 2010 dan 2011, turut membuktikan iltizam kerajaan untuk membangunkan negara, dan seterusnya memastikan negara mencapai matlamat menjadi sebuah negara berpendapatan tinggi menjelang 2020.
