KOTA KINABALU: The state
government was urged to implement people’s housing projects along the coast of
Lahad Datu before relocating residents affected by the intrusion of Sulu
militants, to resettlement areas.
Datuk Mohammad Yusof Apdal
(BN-Lahad Datu) said the projects were necessary, before any decision to set up
resettlement areas, to ensure the welfare of the affected residents.
“I also urge the state
government to gazette villages which have been occupied for more than 20 years,
as Bumiputra villages or as resettlement areas, to meet the needs of the
Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM),” he said when debating on the address
of state Governor Tun Juhar Mahiruddin at the Sabah State Assembly, here,
today.
Prior to this, the security
forces decided that Kampung Tanduo, Lahad Datu, the location of a recent
landing by the intruders, would be closed.
Mohammad Yusof, who
represented the area involved in the tragedy which left 10 members of the
Malaysian security forces dead, also lauded a move to build an airport at
Silabukan in Lahad Datu and to upgrade the existing one.
“To meet the increase in
populace, the construction of the airport must be accelerated. I am confident
the airport will be the focus of domestic and foreign tourists and help spur
the economy,” he said.
Earlier, BN-Senallang’s
Datuk Seri Nasir Tun Sakaran (photo) hoped more security control posts would be
strategically set up, specifically in ESSCOM, namely at Lahad Datu, Semporna,
Kunak, Sandakan and Kudat.

Kerajaan negeri disaran membina lebih banyak projek perumahan rakyat di

Mangsa yang terlibat dalam pencerobohan harus memberi bantuan dan pemerhatian yang wajar.
DeleteDatuk Mohammad Yusof Apdal (BN-Lahad Datu) berkata pembinaan perumahan
ReplyDeleteitu perlu sebelum sebarang keputusan untuk membuat penempatan semula
yang menjamin kebajikan penduduk terlibat.
Saya juga menyeru pihak kerajaan negeri mempertimbangkan untuk

DeleteThe Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) payment will be made an annual affair, with the amount increased to RM1,200 for households and RM600 for singles if the Barisan Nasional (BN) government returns to power in the next general election.
ReplyDeleteThe coalition is also pledging to increase the 1Malaysia Book Vouchers to RM300 from RM250, and schooling aid to RM150 from RM100 per child.
ReplyDeleteBantuan yang wajar adalah baik untuk golongan yang kurang berkeupayaan. Bantuan ini sekiranya berterusan, ini akan menyebabkan rakyat lebih bergantung kepada kerajaan dan kerajaan juga perlu memikul tanggungan yang berat.
DeleteBR1M currently benefits households earning below RM3,000 a month and singles earning less than RM2,000.
ReplyDeleteThe BN government had allocated RM6.4 billion in 2012-2013 for BR1M, 1Malaysia Book Vouchers and schooling aid.
ReplyDeleteOur ongoing efforts to provide basic goods, services and necessities at lower prices are evident in our 1Malaysia products such as Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia, Klinik 1Malaysia and Menu Rakyat 1Malaysia
ReplyDeleteThere is also the promise to open more Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia and introduce 1Malaysia products in petrol stations and hypermarkets.
ReplyDeletethe BN plans to introduce more 1Malaysia products driven by government-linked companies and the private sector, as well as introduce the 1Country 1Price policy for essential goods.
ReplyDeleteThe government spent RM586 million in the last two years for the price uniformity scheme to bring equally-priced basic items to Sabah and Sarawak.

ReplyDeleteThe Sabah government has hit the right formula in making land available to landless natives of Sabah without risking the land being then sold. Communal land ownership through the issuance of cluster titles is the answer, according to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking in response to a question raised by Datuk Wilfred Bumburing (PKR-Tamparuli) at the Sabah State Assembly, Musa said, the government has approved a total of 62 Communal Titles covering an estimated 33,812 hectares as of May 31 this year.
Musa disclosed that the communal grants were awarded to 8,115 beneficiaries from 155 villages.
ReplyDelete“Of the total, four communal leases were earmarked for extensive oil palm and rubber cultivation with assistance from the Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB) as Agropolitan Projects. The high-impact initiative under the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) is designed to provide the rural poor with a sustainable means of livelihood,” he told the Assembly
The Sabah Land Development Board (SLDB) and other government agencies help villagers to grow export crops such as oil palms and rubber on land designated as Agropolitan project or mini estet sejahtera settlement areas. The villagers work on the land initially as wage earners under the management of the relevant state agencies that help to develop the land. When the estates begin to have incomes the villagers will then receive dividends from the proceeds of the crops.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Musa, among the areas listed for the development include Lalampas in the Tongod district and Ponguloban 1, Ponguloban II and Kabintaluan in the Tenom district, covering 7,335 hectares involving 1,780 beneficiaries. Musa denied it was mandatory for villagers awarded with communal titles to enter a partnership with Sabah Land Development Authority (SLDB).
However, he reiterated that such joint venture to develop communal titled areas could only be implemented with the mutual agreement between both parties (government agency and the participants) and subject to the approval of the Chief Minister.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, the names of heads of households taking part in the land develeopment will be clearly listed in the communal title deeds.
“Landholders awarded with the Communal Title can do anything they want with the land except sell it,” Musa said, and added such measures are necessary to boost economic activity especially in rural areas, which in turn drive socioeconomic growth and prevent them from losing their lands.
ReplyDeleteThe issuance of communal titles is aimed at empowering all native Sabahans, providing a sustainable means of livelihood and solution to the customary land issue,” he said. - Insight Sabah
