sabah n sarawak r among richest states in msia yet we r still poor (im a sarawakian).
sabah fast becoming a cowboy states where illegal immigrants ruled d street.
during PBS-era, many sabahan r sent to study abroad regardless of races.
tis is a good move bcos they can be exposed to various political scenes international.
when they came back, they wont blindly vote.

i hope DAP can exposed malpractise by Sabah ministries with solid evidence.
mayb they can install MOLES for sensitive information in d G.
hehehehe

From my dad point of view, the then DAP rep Fung Kit Wing was unable to bring development to the town, either he was not capable, or too weak to flight as lone ranger in the Parliment. When PBS pulled out from Barisan, they swept most of the MP seats in the state, as the people of Sabah was hoping for a stonger opposition, after losing confident of the hopeless federal folks.

However, PBS became another crook themselves, almost collapsing the cash rich Yayasan Sabah only in few years time. A lot of Sabahan in the 70s and 80s, regardless of races, had been benefitted from the generous state scholarship then.

Sandakan was left too far behind in the wave of development, despite it was once the most vibrant and fastest developed town in the state during the timber rich years. Most folks like me, have to leave our beloved home and aging parents to seek new wealth in the West. Imagine a fresh grad is getting around RM600-700 per month for starting salary. RM 2000 job is considered a very highly pay in Sandakan and the oppoturnity is limited. Income gap between the east and west had become too far apart. Most essential goods like toothpaste and other sanitary products are more expensive then the West, simply because we have to pay for the transportation cost of the goods. How could we ever bridge the wealth gap when relatively low salary earner have to pay for more expensive goods?

The Sandakan lifeline for the past few years had been relying on palm oil export, and the higher price had led to a few become very rich. Foreign tourist also didnt fuel the development as their major spending were confined to the orang utan resort village and Selingan island resort, and local business did not benefited from their arrivals.

The conclusion is, rampant corruption slowed infrastructure developments, with overcrowded II without job had escalated crime rates over the last 20 years.

Sandakan was declared as a nature city, very nature indeed when the city is on blackout. A problem which Sandakan still facing since the 80s.

Uncle Kit, I hope you can fill a capable candidate for Sandakan in the next election. I hope DAP can contest on the state level as well. I’ll vote for Sandakan future.

They may be Muslims but they are Filipino Muslims. Their loyalty may not be to Manila but they are first Filipinos.

Question now is, how does Sabah get rid of these Filipino muslims to get them to go back to their country? Would Manila want them back? Manila would probably prevent their return and say the people are actually Malaysians. Man, we got a big problem.

The CM of Sarawak has been able to stop UMNO getting into Sarawak. For that, he deserves to be rich. To compensate the state, a special law should be introduced to make CMs and ministers pay a 90% estate duty, on the earnings beyond their official remunerations.

44 years after “Independence”, Sabahans still have to turn to their former British colonisers to set up a hydro-powered generator that will supply power around the clock. What has been the BN been doing these past 44 years, apart from yelling “Malaysia Boleh!”?????
