Study by ex-Usno leaders on what Sabah has achieved
Kota Kinabalu September 10, 2010: A group of former leaders and loyal supporters of the now defunct United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) has embarked on a month-long mission to gather feedback from its former members and the public on what has been achieved in Sabah over the last 20 years, since Umno set its foot in the State. They have appointed former Usno Vice President and co-founder of Sabah Umno, Datuk Karim Ghani, to lead the Statewide study.
As to whether it has anything to do with any attempt to revive Usno, Karim, who did not agree or deny, said Usno is already dead.
On whether they have the blessing of all former Usno leaders, especially those who joined Umno and currently serving in the State Government and as elected representatives, he just said the former Usno leaders were aware of it.
"I will inform the outcome of the study one month from now," he said, calling for more support to the effort for the sake of bringing back the dignity of the rakyat in Sabah.
Usno was disbanded by its founder late Tun Datu Mustapha Datu Harun just after the 1990 general election, to make way for the United Malay National Organisation's (Umno) entry to Sabah.

Repair Sepulut-Kalabakan road fast: Kurup
PENSIANGAN September 10, 2010: Deputy Natural Resources and Environment Minister Tan Sri Joseph Kurup urged the Public Works Department (PWD) here to repair the Sepulut-Kalabakan road fast. This is to ensure comfort and safety of motorists travelling from Tawau to Keningau or vice versa.
"Due to the condition of the road, lorries transporting stones and planks find it difficult to reach Salarom Taka, thus, rendering the contractors unable to carry out their work," said Kurup.
The PWD has been appointed to repair the Kalabakan-Sepulut road by the Government recently.
He also said the road should also be sealed because the world-renowned Maliau Basin is situated between Sepulut and Kalabakan.
Tidak menafikan bahawa Sabah telah mengalami pembagunan pada masa 20 tahun ini. Kini Sabah jauh berbeza daripada 20 tahun yang lalu. Diharapkan kerajaan akan teruskan usaha membagunkan Sabah.
BalasPadamdalam tempoh 20 tahun ini Sabah mengalami pembangunan..namun usaha berterusan perlu bagi menjadikan negeri ini lebih maju pad masa depan.
BalasPadamPelaksanaan pelbagai projek yang dilakukan telah mengubah negeri sabah lebih maju berbanding 20 tahun dahulu. Diharapkan sasaran utama untuk projek pembangunan atau sebagainya dapat ditumpukan di kawasan luar bandar.
BalasPadamSyukur kerana sabah telah jauh lebih maju dari sebelumnya, bagaimanapun diharapkan kerajaan dapat bertimbangkan untuk memperbaiki jalan-jalan utama di negeri ini untuk kepentingan dan keselamatan bersama.
BalasPadamteruskan usaha untuk membangunkan negeri sabah.
BalasPadamrealitinya, pembangunan tetap berlaku di Sabah walaupun ianya disifatkan agak perlahan berbanding dengan negeri2 di Semenanjung Malaysia..
BalasPadamuntuk terus membangun seperti negeri2 lain, Sabah masih memerlukan aliran dana dan masa yang banyak memandangkan bentuk fizikal geografinya yang agak luas.. diharapkan kerajaan negeri dan pusat akan terus berusaha membawa pembangunan di Sabah..
BalasPadamJika kita flashback selama 20 tahun ke belakang, kita sudah banyak mengalami perubahan dari segi positif mahupun negatif. I can't wait for the study to come out.
BalasPadamrasanya Sabah jauh lebih baik berbanding dahulu. namun usaha perlu diteruskan untuk membangunkan masyarakat dan negeri ini.
BalasPadamWhoa, I like it. This is a committed thing.
BalasPadamBetul. Kajian harus dibuat jika benar Sabah telah mengecapi era kegemilangan dalam masa 20 tahun ini.
BalasPadamKajian harus dibuat supaya kita tahu apa pencapaian kita dan apa kelemahan kita supaya kita dapat mengatur langkah yang sewajar untuk menghadapi masa depan yang lebih mencabar.
BalasPadamKejayaan bukan sekadar akap-cakap saja, mesti dibuktikan dengan contoh-contoh yang kukuh dan sahih.
BalasPadamsabah telah mengecapi banyak pembangunan dan kemajuan yang diusahakan oleh kerajaan namun tidak dinafikan masih ada perkara2 yang harus diberikan perhatian lebih bagi memastikan pembangunan yang menyeluruh dan seimbang..
BalasPadambagi saya, adalah bagus sekiranya kajian seperti ini dilakukan agar kita tahu setakat mana pencapaian sabah..dengan ini kita akan tahu apa yang kurang/lebih yang seterusnya tindakan susulan yang relevan dapat dilakukan..
BalasPadamsekurang-kurangnya USNO boleh menyumbangkan sesuatu di mana dengan tujuan yang baik untuk kepentingan rakyat dan negeri..namun, biarlah kajian yang dimaksudkan dilakukan secara ilmiah dan bukannya berpaksikan kepada politik semata-mata..
BalasPadampembangunan di kawasan luar bandar harus terus menjadi agenda pembangunan negara untuk memastikan semua rakyat mengecapi dan menikmati pembangunan/kemajuan..jalan2 raya terutama di kawasan pedalaman harus diselenggarakan dengan baik demi keselamatan dan keselesaan pengguna..
BalasPadamdiharapkan sabah akan terus membangun dan berdaya saing seiring dengan semangat 1Malaysia Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan..
BalasPadamTalking about the achievement, well, here are some info for us to read, it might help to answer the Question.
BalasPadamSabah reduces poverty rate by seven per cent
March 23, 2010, Tuesday
KOTA BELUD: The overall poverty rate in Sabah fell to 16 per cent in 2007, compared to 23.0 per cent in 2004, said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin.He said based on the mid-term study of the Ninth Malaysia Plan(RMK-9), the hardcore poor rate also registered a drop to 3.7 per cent in 2007 compared to 6.5 per cent in 2004.
He highlighted that Sabah however, has still the highest poverty rate in the country.
“Hence, the state and Federal government budgets have a large allocation for the poverty eradication programme, with a zero hardcore poor target along-side reducing incidents of poverty,” he said.
Yahya said this in his speech at a ceremony to hand over allowances to participants of a chilli and mushrooms farming project using the fertigation system, under the poverty eradication programme here yesterday.
He said that the success in bringing down the poverty rate shows the determination of the state and Federal government in overcoming the problems faced by the people, through the various programmes created to eradicate poverty.
According to Yahya, the state government is confident of overcoming the hardcore poor poverty problem, by 2020.
Also the state Agriculture and Food Industry Minister, he said a number of agencies under his ministry were also implementing various programmes to eradicate poverty, with funding under the RMK-9.
He highlighted that among these are, the Village Development Cooperative (KPD) project to rear honey bees at a cost of RM9.02 million, the Subsidised Credit Assistance Scheme (SBKB) worth RM3.5 million implemented by the Sabah Fisheries and Fishermen’s Development Cooperative (Ko-Nelayan), the Subsidised Traditional Fishing Equipment Supply Scheme (PERMITS) at RM3.03 million and the Scheme to Improve the Social Status of Fishermen (PENTAS) at RM3.66 million.
On the chilli and mushroom project, Yahya said the Farmers’ Organisation Authority (LPP) initiative is part of the government’s efforts to help lighten the burden of the hardcore poor, by enhancing income and allowing them to escape the clutches of poverty. —Bernama
Let's make this thing clear. Sabah has achieved its 47th independence, but couldn't foresee what's happening through all these years.
BalasPadamNo doubt we have achieved certain achievement 47 years in Malaysia big family. But still far behind compare to Singapore.
BalasPadamSabah memang membangun. Namun pembangunan itu harus diteruskan bagi mjemastikan Sabah kekal membangun sepanjang masa :)
BalasPadamMemang patut kajian dibuat, sekurang-kurangnya kita tahu apa yang perlu diperbaiki lagi.
BalasPadamSaya harap Sabah akan terus membangun dari semasa ke semasa.
BalasPadamBetul tu john. sabah memang membangun walaupun agak perlahan la... Jadi sama2 lah kita harap agar kerajaan pusat dapat alirkan dana yang cukup utk tujuan pembangunan Sabah :)
BalasPadamSemoga kajian ini dapat membantu perkembangan pembangunan di Sabah. Sebarang kelemahan atau kelebihan yang diperolehi melalui kajian ini harus diambil secara positif dan usahakanlah utk membangunkan seluruh pelusuk negeri Sabah.
BalasPadamTerutamanya aku punya kampung sana sugut. hehehe
Nama buat kajian, tapi tujuan sebenar cuma ingin merujukan kelemahan kerajaan.
BalasPadamThis is an good idea so that we will have a clearer picture about our weakness so that we can make change of it.
BalasPadam20 years? Wow, I'm not even born yet. I love the old Sabah for sure. There were more free stuff to be enjoyed with.
BalasPadamMemang banyak kemajuan dalam Sabah namun masih tidak mencukupi. Saya akui cadangan itu memang berpotensi untuk menjana lebih kepada Sabah.
BalasPadamNot just at the point of study but must change fro better future.
BalasPadamLet us be thankful for the leaders and people that supported all the doings.
