Sibu is suffering the same fate. The town is a far cry from what it was 10 years ago. It is reported that there are 50,000 foochows from Sarawak in the the Klang valley and 40,000 Ibans from Sarawak working in Johore Bahru. We are not even counting those who have migrated overseas (as they see little hope) to Australia and New Zealand. It is a serious brain drain. Why Sabah and Sarawak, notwithstanding their rich resources, are ranked No. 1 and 4 respectively in the number of hardcore poor in Malaysia has to be answered by the politicians.

Can all Malaysians at home and aboard help in nominating Kit as a Nobel Peace Prize candidate this year? Anwar is a good choice too. Both experienced ISA suffering and torturing! Both are fighting for the well being for all Malaysians. May be we should nominate both as a joint-candidacy for 2008 Peace Prize to stand a bigger chance of winning it!

The place was full of workers from Sarawak, W Malaysia and Philippines. The millionaires’ children spent their weekend in Hong Kong and Singapore. At one stage, it was easier to find RM1,000 and RM500 notes in Hong Kong than in Sandakan. The reason for this is that river slightly south of Sandakan – the Kinabatangan River. Dubbed at the mini-Amazon, this river was filled with logs that floated down and large ships would anchor at the mouth, lifting the timber to Japan, Korea. Now that timber has been exhausted, Sandakan returned to its Cowboy image once again. I don’t want to fault Sandakan and the DCM Tan. Everywhere it is the same. In Sarawak, Tg Manis was the loading point of timber from the Rejang – heading to Japan etc. Timber is now gone, Tg Manis is struggling to find another industry. The same thing in Bakun and Kelantan. Timber loaded to trailers heading for sawmills and the sawn timber to feed overseas market. With the raw natural products gone, the people return to poverty. The least they could do was to build roads, establish hospitals and clinics. Nothing – everything vacuum cleaner. When they want to make roads, borrow money from overseas. When they want to built bridge, get loan from China. In Sandakan, if the tax from this timber was used for Roads, all Sabah Roads would be surfaced. There would be roads right to the interior.

No big deal of a challenge, just pay RM20 for each of the locals to come out for a party on the night of challenge, get local performers like the AF artists wannabes who will be most happy to be showcased. Open up pasar malam stalls and give the locals some free coupons to redeem foods. Never challenge a Kiah Shu. Tan Kiah Shu may just take up Kit’s challenge.
