“Sarawak should also be world class state---PKR info
chief” (The Borneo Post Fri. 21/2/2014)
Ya! “We have the wealth, we have the resources and
we will hopefully have the foreign investors. Now, Sarawakians expect an equally acceptable
ROI (Return on Investment) on all these
mega-projects that are being touted by the state government.” ------- Vernon Aji Kedit
From what I
know about the infrastructure facilities like school buildings, jetties, bridges, roads, public transport system…………… everywhere in Sarawak can be described as
shamefully deplorable. Having world class
industries in the state is indeed laudable.
But without the matching infrastructure facilities to go with, these defects will bring down these world class industries
in no time.
Hurry up to
improve and upgrade these basic facilities.
The 33-years of negligence and abuse under Taib Mahmud and the BN government
as a whole have downgraded the state to such appalling, disheartening and disappointing and
depressing conditions. It is time they should accelerate the work to
catch up and match up to the required standard.
Is it too
much to ask for “8-land carriage that cuts across from Lundu to Limbang,
straight as the ‘Kenyalang
flies’from south to north” to be
called Kenyalan Highway? Ng…….”build turn-offs to other cities and
town and smaller urban centres so that the rural interior can be opened up and
have world class access to urban centres .
This will automatically create a domino effect of bringing development
to the interior.”
If everyone
stands up like Vernon Aji Kedit, our
dream to have world –class basic facilities can be fulfilled as soon as
expected. Do you dare to dream and that
is the question?
Ya , like what Vernon implored we also want
world-class hospitals and clinics in every city, town and district, why not?
Did the state government know
that many rural people died from lack of healthcare based on the
statistics? It has reached the alarming
level.
I also agree with him that “education is
paramount” and should be considered as the foundation of national building (建国之本). Ya ,
as what he says “besides school
buildings and dormitories but also the
facilities and the staff needed to uplift the standard of education“
I really feel sad and disheartening to see the
authorities concerned adopting the lackadaisical /tiada apa attitude towards
the plead of the head of Sarawak Teachers’ Union to train more local teachers . It is a curse to the BN government. They need to be challenged and threatened by
the PR party to do their work. I hope
2016 we people in one heart and mind should teach the BN government a good
lesson。
The fourth thing Vernon
mentioned is to have the bullet train
like that in Japan, why not? Our rivers, big and small, are getting more
dangerous and less efficient as a result of dams around in the state. Do we not have enough fatal ferry and boat
accidents to demand for a good rail transport system?
Don’t you feel ashamed to
boast about having RM22billion in the reserve when the infrastructure
facilities everywhere in Sarawak are so shamefully appalling and deplorable? I hope Adenan has the quality of the chief
minister to really care for the wellbeing and welfare of Sarawakians. Don’t behave like Taib Mahmud who is the
emblem of greed and shame to us all.
Ng .........it is
important to develop the human capital. There
are so many Sarawakians with the skills and expertise working overseas. With the job opportunities, I believe they will be lured to come
home. I agree with him that “Sarawakians in the state, especially in the
civil service could be trained abroad or by world class professionals to help
the state develop its human capital.“
I really feel
sorry that many people who can be trained to become a better and more skilful persons
have gone to waste. Instead of making
furniture, some as reported focused their minds on making guns. Timber
has been one of the most important exports in Sarawak , however, furniture industry is not well-developed in Sarawak. What a shame!
Nowadays, it is getting harder for
the locals to get good quality timber! Is
it not true?
Ya,
nothing within human reach is impossible if there is “ a political will, there
is a way”. It is idiotic to say it is
impossible when you have not even tried
yet. For the past 33 years Taib Mahmud
and his cronies are too negative-minded and self-serving minded to do the work
well. I hope Adenan is more assertive,
people-centred, -minded and friendly. Ya,
Adenan has 2 years to go before the state election in 2016.
