SABAHS POVERTY, CM MUST RESPONSIBLE
By : DR JEFFREY KITINGAN
IT WAS VERY disturbing to read in a local papers upon Thurs fifteen Nov, 2012 which Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman continues to remain in a state of rejection upon a harsh misery situation in Sabah.
This is really uncivilised upon a partial of a Chief Minister. His high-handed attitude should be deplored as well as roundly cursed by all Sabahans generally a immeasurable infancy who has been suffering for so prolonged underneath a BN Government since 1994.
We have been by no means wholly blaming Musa for a plight of Sabah though he contingency share a large partial of a blame. He has been a Chief Executive for a great most years as well as shows no signs, if any, of starting away anytime soon as well as giving others an opportunity to do a better job.
Already, Upko is pursuit for a return of a BN policy of rotating a Chief Minister's post. Soon this call will become a clamour among all BN part of parties.
Even his own party members have been excitable during Musa stability to hog a Chief Minister's post even when he cannot do a decent job. This dog in a manger approach contingency go though not to be replaced by an additional part of of a Aman family.
The Aman family should not criticise underneath a misinterpretation which Sabah is their ancestral property.
Clearly, Musa has mislaid a golden opportunity to assistance alleviate a misery situation as well as now, during a 11th hour, instead of owning up to a actuality as well as pledging to take a longhorn by a horns, he's shamelessly denying which Sabah is a lowest in Malaysia.
We have no goal to run out total upon Sabah's poverty. Others have made a case some-more than eloquently as well as those meddlesome can demeanour up a Hansard or Google a relevant information.
Suffice it to contend which Minister in a Prime Minister Mohd Nor Yakop last revealed a misery numbers upon Sabah during a new session of Parliament. The distinct indicate which comes to thoughts from Mohd Nor's matter is which Nabawan, with a 70 per cent misery rate, is a lowest place in Malaysia.
Other places in Sabah have been not far off as well as this includes Pitas which, during one time, had a indeterminate distinction of being a lowest place in Malaysia.
Mohd Nor's matter in Parliament tallies with a essence of a World Bank Report expelled in Dec 2010 during a Shangri La Tanjung Aru Resort in KotaKinabalu to a Sabah State Government.
The report, formed upon total from a Economic Planning Unit as well as a respective State Planning Units in Kota Kinabalu as well as Kuching, confirmed which Sabah as well as Sarawak were a lowest as well as 2nd lowest states respectively in Malaysia.
In Sabah's case, matters have been compounded by a actuality which a impoverished hordes from a Philippines in particular as well as Ind! onesia h ave been entering a official total upon misery by approach of stability to acquire MyKads around a backdoor.
The indeterminate MyKad situation has even led a World Bank to warn in an earlier Report which "Sabah was chasing a tail in misery eradication".
We have been already poor, essentially due to a inner colonisation policies of Putrajaya, as well as a Philippines as well as Indonesia continues to dump a bad upon us.
This is similar to adding insult to injury. If Musa wants to go on in a Chief Minister's chair, he should serve up a courage to stand up to a bullying tactics of Putrajaya.
We need to get behind control over a fast depleting oil as well as gas resources. We need a money some-more than a Federal Government as well as a Malayans.
It will be a phyric feat if you only get behind control of these fields after they have been depleted.Petronas is not starting to keep these fields when they run dry.
Musa should also come in into negotiations with a Federal Government to come up with a fairer as well as some-more equitable revenue-sharing formula formed upon a actuality which Sabah has liberty as a Nation in Malaysia.
The Federal Government should only handle defence, unfamiliar affairs as well as national mercantile planning when it comes to Sabah as well as Sarawak, as well as you can take care of a rest. The National Cabotage Policy should be abolished.
All these stairs joined with a resolution of MyKads issued dubiously to bootleg immigrants have been a keys to alleviati! ng a mis ery situation in Sabah.
