SIPITANG DUMPING GROUND FOR FOREIGN



 SIPITANG : Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) said Sipitang has become a dumping ground for foreign labourers from Nepal and India.

“Their presence was visible in the Sipitang town nowadays, said Hj Amde Sidik, who is the Deputy President of SAPP.

Amde, who is also South Zone and Constituency Liaison Committee Chairman for N28 Sindumin said these foreign labourers are recruited by Sabah Forest Industries.

“Nepalese and Indians monopolised the labour sector of SFI, after all, 95 percent of SFI shares belong to an Indian company perhaps that could be the reason why ‘unstoppable’ by anyone,” Amde added.

“These people are willing to work for RM400 per month with airfares and transportation provided for. That low wage puts off our local labourers.

“Ironically, our home grown State Agency, Lembaga Tebung Getah (LTG) based in Kg Mendulung makes no difference,” said Amde when giving a talk to the village community in Kg Mendulung last night.

Almost all recruited foreign rubber tappers are Indonesians and they are better treated than the locals with provision of living quarters and transport fares.

“LTG didn’t fulfil its promise to the local kampong people, said Robert (not his real name).

Earlier, it had been an understanding with the kampong people with regard to land that were taken by the LTG. The revenue meant to be shared between the LGT and the land owners but now LTG made a policy that, we neither have the share nor say, for those who own plantations aren’t even allowed to recruit rubber tappers as the LTG did and in instances allowed, only get 40 percent of the revenue that is very unfair he said”.

And with such huge presence of foreigners it scares local folks, if not addressed could lead to social problems like, kids getting rebellious because of frustration and so forth.

  3. SFI sebelum ini dimiliki oleh Lion Group, kini ia diambil ahli oleh syarikat dari India, jadi pasti pihak SFI akan mengambil lebih ramai pekerja dari negaranya, hal ini mmg sukar nak di hentikan.

  6. “These people are willing to work for RM400 per month with airfares and transportation provided for. That low wage puts off our local labourers."

    Unfortunately, majority of our local labourers are not keen working in certain work sector even if the wage are high.

    1. Harap-harap pihak imigresen dapat menjalankan tugas dengan amanah. Jangan menyalah gunakan kuasa untuk membawa masuk begitu banyak PATI.

  9. Jika masalah PATI gagal diselesaikan, ketenteraman dan keselamatan orang Sabahan tidak terjamin.

  10. PATI harus dihantar balik segera sementara masalah PATI masih dapat dikawal.

  11. PATI tidak membawa apa-apa manfaat dan perkembangan, cuma ada golongan menggunakan golongan ini untuk tujuan peribadi.

  12. RCI harus ditubuhkan segera untuk mengesan punca kemasukan PATI secara mendadak.

  13. Yang pasti kerajaan Negeri serius menangani ISU PATI ini. Namun oleh kerana kuasa Kerajaan Negeri yang terbatas menyukarkan tugas mereka. Sekarang kita harap apa yang kerajaan Negeri minta daripada kerajaan persekutuan akan terlaksana sepenuhnya. Iaitu permintaan terhadap penubuhan RCI.

  14. Isu ini telah menjadi isu yang hangat. Semua orang bercakap mengenainya dan Isu ini telah berlanjutan bertahun-tahun. Jadi kerajaan tidak boleh silap untuk menubuhkan sesuatu jawatankuasa khas mengenai perkara ini. Kerana kita tidak mahu kerajaan akan dituduh yang bukan-bukan. Kita perlu yakin dengan RCI mampu memberikan yang terbaik kepada Sabah.
