A QUESTION was raised by the
DAP Ipoh Timor MP, Lim Kit Siang in Parliament recently concerning how many
federal departments are headed by Sabahan and those non-Sabahan.
He also asked for the figure
and list of The minister in the Prime Minister Department answered that out of
the 133 federal department in Sabah, there is 61 (45.9%) Sabahan heading the
department, and 72 (54.1%) from people outside of Sabah.
Until 14th of September,
2012, Sabahan officers in First / special Grade and above, working in the
federal civil service are 19. There is one each in the Grades under First
Grade-Scale 1, First Grade-Scale 2, and First Grade A. There are 3 officers under
First Grade B, 13 under First Grade and Special Grade C.
From the small number of
Sabahan heading the top federal departments, which should be much larger than
what it is, we can see that there is no priority and importance given to the
Sabahan to head an important role in the Federal departments all this while,
said the KKMP Hiew King Cheu. Is this because that the Sabahan are less capable
and qualified?
We want more federal
positions in Sabah and in other places in Malaysia, and this is recognition that
Sabahan are a large part of the population where they equally have the right to
share the federal top grade jobs in Malaysia.
If we proportionate the top
federal positions to our 3.4 million population with the national population of
27 million, we should have at least 12% share. The figure we have now is far
too few.
It is a must to allocate a
bigger share on the top positions Sabahan who are holding high federal position
in the country.
in the federal civil service
to the Sabahan. The same should apply to the uniform groups like the military
and police. Sabahan has been deprived
of this for a long time, we are not third class citizens and this must be
corrected immediately.
it seems, sabahans may have this inferiority complex, that they feel they are 3rd class citizens...well, they shouldn't...
ReplyDeleteSo give more the position in federal servant to the local Sabah in Sabah.
DeleteFor me, the number is not that bad. Remember that we are living in a country & having a leader from another states is not a sin. That is integration between Peninsular & Sabah.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, i don't mind having a leader from another states, as long as he/she capable of doing their jobs, its fine.
ReplyDeleteThe performance should be look at, not from which state he/she coming from...
Memang tidak salah walaupun penjawat awam dari SM berkhidmat di Sabah. yang penting peluang penduduk tempatan Sabah tidak terjejas dan keseimbangan dicapai.
