Almost 30,000 who turned out to apply for jobs is a record of joblessness in Sabah.
Yet the Sabah BN Youth seemed to be so proud of the turnout. Are they treating this as a BN supporters' gathering?
The huge turnout only shows how desperate for jobs are our youth, school leavers and graduates.
The job seekers came from Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran, Ranau and other places. It is obvious that at least 23,000 of the applicants will go home remain jobless, disappointed and frustrated. What makes the BN youth so proud of the turnout?
The BN Youth even said the job fair 2011 organized by national BN Youth last March in Kuala Lumpur was so successful that they made it into the Malaysia Book of Records. How do they measure their success? by the number of turn-out or the number of jobs offered to the applicants? How many eventually got employed?
In the case of Sabah, there were 6,345 jobs offered as claimed by the BN Youth Chief Awang Kadin Tang. Do tell us where and what are the type of jobs being offered.
Awang also claimed that 29,950 applied for the jobs was an overwhelming response.
Indeed it is overwhelming because after the BN government had been talking about creation of 57,000 jobs by Sabah Development Corridor since 2008, there is still such a huge number of unemployment in Sabah.
Awang Kadin Tang, BN Youth Chief for Sabah had misconstrued the high number of unemployment to be the success of the job fair.
In the same tune, our State Secretary Datuk Sukarti Wakiman described the turnout of 300,000 illegal immigrants at the two-week 5 Ps registration exercise as good response. How ironical to say that the exercise is a success when in the first place the illegal immigrants should not be here? How many more are still in the hiding?
The huge number of illegal immigrants in fact shows how vulnerable is our defense at the boarder and how low is our sovereignty when we have such a huge number of illegal foreigners in our midst.
The State Security Council must decide what is best for the country and Sabah, decisively, firmly and without delay.

Why are they jobless? Something to do with their own work attitude? Expecting high salary immediately?
ReplyDeletebukan semua mereka tu tiada pekerjaan. di kampung pun ada pekerjaan juga. cuma mereka tak bekerja di sektor swasta atau awam.
ReplyDeleteapapun,mereka kenalah berusaha memohon apa2 kekosongan kerja yang ada. siapa tahu ada rezeki. orang kata "tuah ayam nampak di kaki, tuah manusia siapa yang tahu." yang penting ada usaha berterusan.
ReplyDeletekerja sebenarnya byk, cuma mereka yang malas mencari dan terlalu memilih kerja.
ReplyDeleteIf you look around, there are so many non sabahan working in Sabah, how come there are so many jobless sabahan? Is it still necessary for non sabahan to apply work permit if they want to work in sabah?
ReplyDeletehow are you going to pay for lodging, transportation etc if the salary is less than your monthly expenses?
ReplyDeletekepada pencari kerja ni perlulah juga berusaha untuk tambahkan kemahiran agar mudah dapat kerja.
ReplyDeleteNot all the applicants in BN Youth Job Fair are jobless. Some of them are working. They only want to try their luck in case they'll get new job.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they need to be choosy(in a good way). They have to think the life expenses especially in KK. Yes there is a lot of vacancies but are they equivalent with their qualifications? No wrong to gain experience but for how long? Of course they want to find a stable job.
ReplyDeleteberusaha untuk mendapat pekerjaan yang lebih baik. dari penganggur ke pekerja. dari pekerja ke tahap2 yang lebih memuaskan hati masing2.
ReplyDeleteMana tahu ada nasib2 boleh dapat pekerjaan.
ReplyDeleteIni untuk memberikan peluang kepada mereka yang datang. Mungkin dengan cara ini lebih mudah untuk mereka mendapatkan pekerjaan. Rezeki seseorang itu tidak tahu dimana. Jadi berusaha untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan.
ReplyDeletesekurang-kurangnya pemuda Bn ada inisiatif untuk membantu para penganggur mencari pekerjaan melalui karnival kerjaya tersebut..apa yang SAPP ada buat?
ReplyDeleteinisiatif seumpama harus diteruskan untuk mempermudahkan penganggur mencari pekerjaan..pembangkang pula perlu lakukan perkara yang sama..dan bukannya melolong sana sini tanpa asas..
ReplyDeletepara pembangkang harusnya berfikiran positif, sekurang-kurangnya karnival kerjaya ini dapat membantu kepada mereka yang menganggur
ReplyDeleteThere are 30,000 came to apply and it shows the seriousness of youth unemployment in Sabah, not to count in the ones who did not turn up or went overseas in search of jobs.
ReplyDeleteSAPP is right in identifying the real problems here in Sabah...don't just say they talk only. If given the chance, I think SAPP has a better plan on how to reduce unemployment of youths in Sabah.
Umno and BN are just busy filling their pockets before the next GE so they can use it to buy votes to maintain their greed and power.
Nasib dan rezeki seseorang dimana-mana saja. Jika tidak dapat disini, disana ada. Jadi teruskan usaha dan jangan cepat putus asa.
ReplyDeletejika kamu prihatin dengan masalah ini dan sedar ramai belia Sabah yang menganggur, kenapa kamu tidak anjurkan program atau bertindak membantu mereka? pihak yang berusaha menyelesaikan masalah ini, walaupun hasilnya tidak memuaskan, adalah lebih baik dari sekadar bercakap mengkritik usaha pihak lain.
