Because it is very much a BN-UMNO creation in the first place, as in Project M.<BR/><BR/>Its true the border with both Phillipines and Indonesia is an artificial one, but it wasn't such a big issue in the 1960's and 1970's. <BR/><BR/>There are short term political advantages for UMNO, as the "instant Malaysians" vote BN all the way.

So many foreign labourers.<BR/>Our Gormen have totally lost control of the situation. In one news report, a 'jobless' illegal worker was caught for crime made.<BR/>A 'jobless' foreigner? How did he come into the country in the first place?<BR/>We do not read about any serious attempt by our Gormen to solve this so what can we do?<BR/>Many that I've spoke to just could not care less. We have just got to take care of our own selves and have no longer any faith in our law enforcers.<BR/>To those who have a tidak apa attitude:- "It looks like you will only do something when these fcukers break into your homes and hump your maid, wife, daughter,dog, grandma, gold fish...!!!!"<BR/>Damn!<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Birds Talking TooBirds Talking Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981509229838134356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-71042167670286556652008-12-23T10:35:00.000+08:002008-12-23T10:35:00.000+08:00Annonymous-one of the safeguards granted to Sabah ...Annonymous-one of the safeguards granted to Sabah and Sarawak in joining with Malaya and S'pore to form M'sia was to stop the influx of better qualified Malayans to take jobs in East Malaysia. This was called Borneonisation, and was supposed to lead to locals taking jobs vacated by the British officers. Sabah and S'wak were granted certain immigration controls. Malayans had to apply to stay indefinitely in East M'sia.<BR/><BR/>Borneonisation in Sabah largely never took place due to Tun Mustapha and his cronies selling out to a very imperialistic federal govt but Sarawak stood firm. Today, the civil service in Sarawak remains largely local.<BR/><BR/>Over time, as integration took place, this situation has become a bit of a running joke. In areas such as law, where West M'sian lawyers cannot just go and practice in East M'sia we have substandard lawyers practising for example. Much like the NEP, these measures were intended to improve the lot of the locals but much like the NEP has only achieved limited success as it has become a byword for protectionism.<BR/><BR/>After all these years we have yet to stand on our two feet (Sabahans at least-Sarawakians are much further ahead of us). Whether this was because Borneonisation in Sabah was not allowed to work effectively or because it was allowed to work (in the law profession for example) is a matter for debate.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, it is now stupid that a West M'sian must get a PR to stay in East M'sia. We need to move on with the times.Parvinder Klerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091933086275228966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-33216421836110274142008-12-23T10:09:00.000+08:002008-12-23T10:09:00.000+08:00Didn't know you need to be PR in Sabah eventhough ...Didn't know you need to be PR in Sabah eventhough you're Malaysian?

Every piece of garbage on the road, to every criminal act is the fault of these pendatangs. Until we take responsibility for our own actions, this situation will never be resolved.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the highlighted issue of the West M'sians who cannot get PR status in Sabah. While the process of Borneonisation was ignored by the federal govt leading to massive resentment (and rightfully so), the time to treat individuals from West M'sian as being synonymous with the imperialism of the federal govt has unfortunately yet to pass. I should know, I was a big anti-West M'sian bigot and I was far from being alone. Sabahans today continue to be overly parochial seeing enemies everywhere (west m'sians and illegal immigarnts) when we are their own worst enemies with our short-term thinking and opportunism that destroys the state further.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I digress. There is, IMO, nothing we can do to stop this influx (of at least Filipinos) until peace is achieved in the Sulu and Mindanao areas but that takes great political will, which is sadly lacking in Manila. The Muslims in southern Philippines have been the subject of discrimination for eons, from the Spanish times to Marcos and now the so-called democratic establishment of a Catholic dominated govt who see Muslims as second class citizens. M'sia can do all it wants to stem this tide (and we all know M'sia is doing far less than 'all it can') but the solution lies across the Sulu Sea, not in Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur or anywhere else.Parvinder Klerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091933086275228966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-12421582896492167002008-12-23T08:54:00.000+08:002008-12-23T08:54:00.000+08:00We are far more accessible to an Indon than Europe...We are far more accessible to an Indon than Europe, Aus or the US, and our borders are 'porous' (by neglect or design?)<BR/><BR/>Alaos, our 'pitiful' earnings are relatively 'humongous' to an Indon.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-74733073962240640212008-12-23T08:52:00.000+08:002008-12-23T08:52:00.000+08:00It's strange to think that we've become a country ...It's strange to think that we've become a country that other people consider to have better opportunities.<BR/><BR/>We work for a pittance compared to Europe, Australia and USA.Cranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466770053258278747noreply@blogger.com
