YB upset Sukau has been left out
Kota Kinabalu: Sukau may continue to be among the poorest State constituencies in Sabah since it has not received a single rural development project under the National Key Results Area (NKRA) funds.
Its Assemblyman Saddi Abdul Rahman was disappointed that the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development did not consider channeling some development projects to provide basic amenities in Sukau.
"Together with other elected representatives, I had listed more than 94 rural projects worth over RM100 million that are needed in Sukau particularly basic amenities like roads, supply of water and electricity, among others.
"I submitted my proposal for funding under NKRA to the Ministry before the deadline on Sept 10 last year.
"Unfortunately, not even a single rural project under NKRA's billions of Ringgit in funds has been approved and given to Sukau until now," he lamented here, on Tuesday.
He was responding to a statement by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman's in Keningau, that the government will probe how government allocations are spent for development projects in the State.
Musa said it was interesting that allocations for certain areas sometimes did not match the sum stated during the briefings by heads of local administrations.
"The government will take necessary action to identify where the billions went to," Musa said at a briefing by five district officers - Keningau, Tenom, Nabawan, Tambunan and Ranau- on development strategies adopted for each district at Perkasa Hotel, in Keningau on Monday.
Saddi said it is vital for such investigation to be carried out as the government, especially elected representatives, are answerable to the grassroots.
"What Musa has said is timely and such probe should be implemented as the development funds to carry out projects are for the people to enjoy basic amenities and facilities that could elevate their living standard and bring comfort to their lives," he said.
Sukau residents from 42 villages have been waiting for rural development projects from the government to provide better road conditions as well as supply of water and electricity which some have yet to enjoy.
"The villagers are questioning what has happened to the NKRA funds and why not even one project is approved for Sukau. They are feeling cynical about why the government has overlooked their interests and needs.
"I am also feeling disappointed that the ministry has not responded to several follow-up letters that I have submitted. In the letters, I have asked whether Sukau will be getting any rural projects under NKRA funds," he said.

Diharapkan tiada kawasan yang tertinggal dalam mengedarkan peruntukan.
BalasPadambiarlah adil dengan peruntukkan kepada semua bahagian dan kawasan.
BalasPadamsetiap kawasan memerlukan pembagunan agar tidak ketinggalan dari pelbagai aspek. harap peruntukan dapat diberikan di kawasan yang memerlukan.
BalasPadamperuntukan untuk sesuatu projek pembanguna kenalah adil kepada semua kawasan dan peruntukan itu jgnlah lambat sgt sampai. pembangunan perlu dijalankan dgn segera.
BalasPadamHow thing happens? I hope there is nothing to do with the ' distribution channel '.
BalasPadamMinistry of Rural and Regional Development should come forward for clarification about RM100 million and MACC also must play they role in these case.
BalasPadamtop leaders must going to the ground to identify those leaders who like to do corruption and take stern action against them. do not protect these corrupt leaders if BN want to protect their position as a government.
BalasPadamIni harus diambil perhatian serius.Kalau Matunggong ditatang minyak dengan penuh, masakan Sukau pula yang ketinggalan? Memang tidak boleh jadi la.
BalasPadamSaya berharap semua kawasan akan mendapat peruntukan yang mencukupi untuk membangunkan kawasan masing-masing supaya kita boleh sama-sama dibagunkan.
BalasPadamNo doubt there are many rural places that needed to be developed. Maybe the government are trying to work on this one step at a time.
BalasPadamsemua kawsan perlu dibangunkan , bukan fokus kepada sesuatu kawasan sahaja. dgn ini barulah adil dalam pembangunan.
BalasPadamThe government is responsible to figure out what's the missing button in it.
BalasPadamHarap kerajaan bijak menangani permasalahan ini. Jika tidak,rakyat akan kehilangan kepercayaan terhadap pemerintahan mereka.
BalasPadamMemang kalau kawasan terpencil selalu saja di lupakan, tidak tahu secara sengaja atau tidak, tapi sebagai orang sabah dan sama juga dengan pengkomen2 di atas sangat2 berharap agar tidak ada kawasan yang tertinggal dalam aspek pembanggunan.
BalasPadamkerajaan akan cuba yang terbaik untuk membangunkan sesuatu tempat. Apa yang kita harapkan biar kerajaan dapat memberikan sama rata dan adil untuk pembangunan sesuatu tempat.
BalasPadamI'm done with procrastination. Sukau is not meant to be left out. RM100m allocation should be distributed well.
BalasPadamOo ya.. huhuhu, kesiannya.
BalasPadamHarap2, lepas ni kasawasan sukau akan mendapat perhatian. Jadi barulah adil kan.
BalasPadamAda baiknya juga keluhan begini disuarakan, at least pihak2 berkaitan dapat mengambil tindakan lanjut.
BalasPadamAiks, kenapakah keadaan ini berlaku???
BalasPadamHarap hal ni dapat diperjelas supaya salah faham yang timbul dapat diredakan.
BalasPadamSemoga kerajaan dapat menanggani hal ni sebaik mungkin.
tidak seharusnya sesebuah kawasan itu dipinggirkan dari arus pembangunan seperti mana yang dirasai oleh kawasan2 lain..
BalasPadamkerajaan telah menyatakan bahawa pembangunan di kawasan pendalaman akan menjadi fokus utama dalam usaha untuk membangunkan negara secara menyeluruh..namun apa yang terjadi menghampakan rakyat yang tinggal di kawasan tersebut..
BalasPadammenteri serta kementerian yang berkenaan seharusnya tidak 'lepas pandang' terhadap tuntutan rakyat di kawasan tersebut. mereka juga sebagai rakyat Malaysia adalah berhak untuk menikmati hasil pembangunan seperti tenaga elektrik, paip air sama seperti yang dinikmati oleh rakyat di kawasan2 lain yang sedang/telah dibangunkan.
BalasPadammenteri serta kementerian yang berkenaan juga harus segera memperjelaskan isu ini kepada masyarakat di kawasan tersebut agar tidak berlaku perselisihan faham dan isu ini tidak akan menjadi alat politik pihak pembangkang untuk meraih sokongan undi.
BalasPadamdiharapkan agar pihak berkenaan akan menyelesaikan perkara ini secepat mungkin..janji yang dibuat haruslah dikotakan demi kesejahteraan hidup rakyat sesuai dengan 'rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan'.
BalasPadamrasanya Datuk Musa Aman tidak akan duduk diam berkenaan dengan peruntukan RM100 juta dan masalah pembangunan Sukau..
