STOP SENDING WEST MALAYSIANS TO SABAH?




KOTA KINABALU : Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) called on the government to review the practice of transferring Peninsular Malaysians to work in Federal civil services in Sabah.

SAPP Vice President, Japiril Suhaimin said the government is spending millions of Ringgit every year to send West Malaysians working here.

"The government could save huge amount of money if the practice is changed by hiring Sabahans to fill up those jobs because our people are very much qualified.

"And, it would be a win-win for the government and our people," he said.

He said the government is not required to pay transfer allowance and monthly housing allowance as well as other allowances once the staff are Sabahans.

He added that such allowances are very big when head counts are made on West Malaysians currently working here and the number of them arriving every year.

Japiril said Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department, Datuk Radin Malleh had revealed that between 7,500 to 8,500 civil servants from the peninsula were sent to Sabah each year, for the last five years.

Radin also revealed that as many as 15,390 public service officers and staff from Peninsular Malaysia are currently working in 94 federal departments and 42 statutory bodies in the state.

According to Radin, the total number of officers and staff of the Federal civil services in Sabah are 85,498.

He added that the department with the biggest number of these individuals was the Sabah Education Department with 8,152 in 2011.

Touching on the current housing allowances for local teachers serving in the state, Japiril said it is high time that the rate be increased.

He said he was shocked after finding out the huge gap on allowances between local teachers and West Malaysian teachers serving here.

He added that the statement by Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee that Sabah teachers are being given allowances of RM250 and RM350 while West Malaysian teachers receiving between RM730 and RM830, proves that allowances for local teachers are too low.

Japiril said the cost of living are increasing so it is logical that the government increase allowances to local teachers.

"This imbalances have been going on for so many years. I don't see local teachers are not deserved for increment. I wonder whether the government is practising double standard or treating those teachers equally," he added.

He said allowance increments would encourage local teachers to stay on rather than seeking jobs elsewhere like in the private sector.

He further said that SAPP's firm stand that Borneonisation to be fulfilled enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement, in so far as they are not implemented by express provision of the Constitution of Malaysia which states that the Governments of the Federation of Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak will take such legislative, executive or other action as may be required to implement the assurances, undertakings and recommendations contained in Chapter 3 of, and Annexes A and B to, the Report of the Inter-Governmental Committee signed on 27th February, 1963.

    1. Banyak warga Sabah tidak diberi peluang untuk menjawat, ini juga menyebabkan belia Sabah mencari peluang di tempat lain.

  15. Penjawat awam dari semenanjung sememangnya bertambah sekarang ini. Jadi alangkah baik jika jawatan awam di Sabah ini diberikan kepada penduduk Sabah. Bukan apa ini sekurangnya dapat menyelesaikan masalah bayaran yang lebih kepada penjawat awam.
