SABAH LAW MAKERS

Sabah - Land Below The Wind

.

.

Sabah law makers had always demonstrated great disappointment, right up to GE12.
Immediately, after having won handsomely, there were determinations to correct the unfair treatment Sabah was receiving.
Each component party of Sabah fell in line to have a love affair with PM(more like an interview), something like applying for a job. After the meeting, each party will try to outdo each other and empathetically said, they had demanded this and that, and the PM is SERIOUSLY looking into them.
History repeats itself, whenever the YBs are making noise, the PM will come over and as always, he is seriously looking into them.

Sabah law makers finally got on the right track lately, albeit just a few individuals.
If they can’t get any of their demands fulfil now, it is unlikely that they will ever be able to do it in the future.
All the rhetoric on how hard they work, how concerned they are with its people well being, only result in being unrealistic fools, not worthy of the job entrusted to them, to cut out a path for Sabah.
Yes, federal government is in a precarious position and Sabah law makers are in the position of strength, though not entirely but strong enough.

History had never been kind to Sabah, probably of its own making, billions in wealth in resources had been taken out of Sabah and there is nothing much to show for the present generation.
Despite its depleted resources, the ugly pictures are, poorest state, uncontrollable illegal economic migrants, scarce job opportunity, unsatisfactory basic amenities, uncompetitive salary, atrocious transportation and road condition, just to mention a few. Had our former leaders plundered all the wealth or was it our federal’s grand scheme to wrest control on Sabah, stripe it and lead them by the nose.
This could be the turning point for Sabah, we need more autonomy in the government, need more share of the wealth, whatever still remained, to be circulated in Sabah.
It is indeed encouraging to see that Sabah politicians are making the right kind of threat and bargain lately but there are not enough of them. Quite a few are actually a disgrace to Sabah, making noise and talking rubbish in Parliament, trying to shine balls?

Fortunately, Sabah is still attractive enough for a different group of exploiters, the planters, and more than a million hectare of land had been developed for oil palm.
These investors had thrown in billions of ringgit and unfair criticism was on them for taking advantage.
Now again, Sabah showed its ugly side, why complain when in the first place you willingly give away this opportunity and not having the patience to nurture the industry.
More important now is how to encourage these entrepreneurs to reinvest their money in the state and that could be in billions.
Do Sabah government and its YBs have the courage and intelligence to change the faith of this state that remains to be seen, this far its record had nothing to shout about.
