Dear Editor,
ONCE again let me urge every
indigenous (Bumiputra) political leader in Sabah, Muslim & Christian
clergymen/clergywomen, very NGO who are so conscious about fairness and
equality, men and women who love wearing green/yellow T-Shirts, and every
Sabahan who has a heart and soul to empathize with the plight of workers who
are abused and payed wages below poverty lines.
The issue of fair wages
provides Sabahans with a unique opportunity to unite and call for the
eradication of unfair wage policies by employers in the state of Sabah.
The Ministry Of Human
Resources must explain very clearly what a minimum wage is all about and do
provide concessions when necessary.
The Ministry Of Domestic
Trade & Consumer Affairs must be in full alert to curb unfair price hikes
due to the minimum wage issue.
Has MTUC Sabah made any
stand on the issue of minimum wage?
Could the Consumer
Association Of Sabah(CASH) explain why mix-rice in Kota Kinabalu cost RM5/-?
Could the political parties
such as STAR, SAPP, PKR/Sabah, DAP/Sabah, etc. make a clear stand on the
minimum wage issue.
Unwittingly the presidents
of FSM, KKCCCI, IMCC and the DAP/Sabah politician may have stepped on a
landmine.
There is a learning point
from their incoherent press statements and ramblings. Do you know what it is?
Unknowingly or unsuspectingly they may have just given BN/Sabah a much needed
boost for the coming G 13.
Best Regards,
DOMINIC GERARD JOSEPH
