THE SABAH Development
Corridor (SDC) progress was brought up in Parliament by the KKMP Hiew King Cheu
recently. He asked the Prime Minister concerning the progress of the projects
being implemented in Sabah, and the percentage on their completion as up to
date.
The PM replied that for the
Ninth Malaysia Plan (RMK-9) a total of 54 projects / programs were implemented
by the Sabah Investment and Economic Development office (SEDIA), while in the Tenth Malaysia
Plan (RMK-10) under the 1st Rolling Plan,
two new projects were carried out. Among the projects implemented in the
9MP is Agropolitan project in Pitas, Agropolitan project in Kota Belud, Rubber
planting in Bengkoka and Pitas, and Tourism facilities upgrading in Tenom,
Keningau, Nabawan and others.
The projects under the 10th
Malaysia Plan is the Keningau Integrated Livestock Centre and the establishment
of the Incubator Centre for creative development in Sabah.
The projects are 96.4%
implemented and completed under the 9MP so far, and for projects in the 10MP, a
total of two projects currently under implementation. The balance of 10
projects still in early stages of implementation.
Implementation of the
infrastructure and social development projects will be a catalyst to spur the
economic growth of the state. Economic activities created is expected to
provide employment and business opportunities and to reduce poverty among the
people of Sabah.
MP Hiew viewed the projects
listed in the answer when compared with the real and actual requirements in Sabah
is definitely far from expectations, and it is too few projects implementation
given to Sabah.
Under the 9MP, there are 54
projects, and very sadly under the 10MP it is only 2 projects under
implementation while the other 10 projects still in the early stage of
implementation.
Hiew said this is not
acceptable and he asked how can this be happening to Sabah, and why there is so
few development projects allocated to us. It is already under the third rolling
plan of the 10MP now, yet many of the projects are still far behind and even
had just started.
The answer from the PM is in
direct contradiction to the statement given by the Sabah Rural Development
Minister Datuk Ewon Ebin in the recent Sabah State Assembly sitting, where he
said there is five agropolitan projects and 44 Mesej projects currently being
implemented in Sabah.
The five agropolitan
projects are of the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) are in Tongod, Kota Belud,
Pitas, Kemabong and Beluran. Felcra is implementing another agropolitan project in Banggi Island.
The eventual effect on eradicating
poverty in Sabah created and resulting from these projects has yet to be seen.
Meanwhile, Hiew said the projects implementation has to speed up and improved
to catch up with the schedule, and he is disappointed with the federal
government in sidelining the Sabahan.
