What Pak Lah has promised for the Sabahans on May 31… [Details]
1. Federal Development Department scrapped and replaced by Sabah State Development Office, with its operations placed directly under the state government’s supervision.
2. Formation of a cabinet committee on illegal immigrants to be chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to discuss and solve the perennial illegal immigrants’ problem in the state.
3. RM1 billion allocation from the prime minister’s special allocation to be distributed according to development requirements in Sabah.
The media is reporting that Sabahans are getting lots of benefits, but it’s not really the case. Set aside the extra RM1bil allocation, the first two actions are not something of a bonus, it’s something that should be done years ago.
If the BN government didn’t lose their 2/3 majority in March, these issues might be overlooked once again after the election. Still, it’s better late than never.
However, don’t take their promise for granted yet. One of the biggest issues with our BN government is on implementations… they do come out with decent ideas and policies occasionally, but often failed to meet the objectives due to poor executions.
Promising is one thing… delivering the promises is another story.
aiyo, now only want to give ar? but still is up to sabahans whether to submit or not. i, as a “nothing to do with this” would of course like the sabahans to lick the umno’s shoes so that in future i can spit on their face whenever i wanted to.
