Time for unheard Sabahans to be counted
AFTER three months of effort, eventually Malaysia flattened the pandemic curve. However, ruling and opposition party politicians then started arguing. The government is trying to prove that it did a good job combatting the pandemic. Pakatan Harapan Plus is still trying to figure out the best candidate to be the ninth prime minister.
To be honest, I feel tired about politics. I feel tired when knowing most of the politicians only care for their interests. Their initial values and beliefs can be changed once they gain power and authority. Politicians are the ones who are supposed to be there for the people but in reality, what do we see?
Such inequality can be clearly seen from Sabah, where I am from. There is lack of access to basic infrastructure , digital connectivity, low industrialisation, lower salaries compared to West Malaysia and higher unemployment among youth. Recently, Veveonah Mosibin, who is a foundation student at Universiti Malaysia Sabah , had to climb up the tree in order to get a strong broadband internet signal to answer examination questions back in her village, Kampung Bilangau Kecil in Pitas, Sabah.
The government and politicians are supposed to allocate resources according to citizens’ needs. But during this pandemic, I noticed that wealthier families still receive welfare assistance. Ironically, most of the vulnerable communities did not receive welfare assistance.
