Jobless and homeless Sabahans in KL is saddening

"The plight of young Sabahans in the Peninsula Malaysia under the noses of present Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders in Kuala Lumpur is a sad phenomenon.

As such, the government must quickly address it, said Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Presiden Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

"The outflow of many Sabahans to the Peninsula Malaysia looking for jobs is proof that our State economy has failed them, although labour migration is unavoidable the fact that many of these young Sabahans have become destitute or getting into crime and vices are glaring signs that they left Sabah ill-equipped and unprepared for the risks of being a migrant worker," he said.

After 45 Years Independence Still The Same For Rural Folks!

It was reported in a local daily that a free movie screening by the Information Ministry attracted more than 5,000 people from Nabawan and Sook to the tamu grounds here on Saturday.

It was reminiscent of the 60s and 70s when rural folks were often treated to a free film that they used to refer to as “wayang piri” (wayang free).

Enough is enough.
After 45 years of independence. in this era of the Petronas Twin Tower and other mega developments including all the "Corridors" developments, most of Sabah rural area are still undeveloped by the Federal Government while the State government had to shoulder the full burden.

Pensiangan also could enter into the Malaysia Book Of Record for having witnessed a number of visits by Federal Ministers within a month compared to 45 years of history.

This is the prelude to the expected by-election for Pensiangan? More goodies coming their way?
