BN rep urges Musa govt to fulfil promises

Ranau has had a string of elected representatives
at state and federal levels over the past 40
years but clean water has remained elusive.
KOTA KINABALU: A Barisan Nasional MP from Sabah has joined the chorus of criticism against the state government led by Chief Minister Musa Aman for failing to provide piped water to scores of villages in the interior of the state.

Ranau MP Siringan Gubat said villagers in his constituency have been relying on dirty water for their domestic use.

Speaking after a protest last week by some 60-odd villagers, Gubat said: “The people are relying on the water supply from the state-owned agency Rural Development Corporation (KPD) which is only meant for farming. This water is not fit for human consumption.”
He said he was aware that Musa had approved the construction of a new water supply station in Kundasang during a visit to Ranau several years ago, but no work had occurred since then.

“I have also brought up the matter twice in Parliament and was told that the project was still in documentation stage and until today there is still no news about it,” Gubat told reporters here yesterday.

The new plant is expected to provide treated water to several thousand villagers in the district in the foothills of mountain Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site.

Ranau is noted for its hilly topography and is the largest producer of highland vegetables.

Tourism and highland agriculture are the major industries owing to the district’s location at 1,176 metres above sea level.

But last weekend Ranau was in the news, not for its many tourist destinations but the hardship faced by the mostly farming community due to shortage of clean water supply.

Residents from four villages staged a sit-in to highlight what they said was the state government’s “false promises” about providing them water supply, which happens during every election.

‘Impossible that leaders not aware’

For now, the people living in the villages of Kibbas, Paka Satu, Koporingan and Purak Ogis depend on rain as well as bottled water for their domestic use.

Although only the villagers from four kampungs participated in the demonstration, they represent many thousands from other villages in the district who are facing similar problem, said those familiar with the water situation there.

Villagers are enraged that after nearly 50 years since Sabah joined in forming Malaysia, the most basic needs such as clean water supply had not been provided to Ranau whose constituents have always voted consistently for state and federal government representatives.

The mountainous district, which is about 108km from here, has been represented at federal Cabinet level by Ghani Gilong and Bernard Dompok and at state level by ministers such as the late Mark Koding, Ewon Ebin and Masidi Manjun as well as assistant minister Mynoor Ginggor.

Dompok, who has since moved to the Penampang parliamentary constituency from Ranau, is still in the federal Cabinet while Ebin and Masidi are in the state Cabinet.

Villagers said it is “impossible” that their leaders are not aware of the lack of clean water supply because apart from Dompok, the other government representatives have houses in Ranau and Kibbas.

Gubat said the water problem was discussed on Aug 2 during a meeting on Ranau district water supply development and was attended by Ebin, Kundasang assemblyman Joachim Gunsalam and district officer Faimin Kamin and people development leaders from the state constituencies of Kundasang, Karanaan and Paginatan.

Local authorities claim that the water supply problems were caused by water wastage and increased demand due to population growth.

Gubat, however, said he sympathised with those affected as they had been assured of a new water plant to provide for their needs years ago.

The national 2012 Budget provides RM2.1 billion to expand water supply to 200,000 homes in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, while the Sabah government has provided RM458.8 million for the same purpose this year.

Gubat, who was an assemblyman until he contested and won the Ranau MP seat in 2008, is a founder-member of United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Ogranisation (Upko).

Upko headed by Dompok recently suffered a blow when its deputy president and Tuaran MP Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing and vice-president Senator Maijol Mahap deserted the party and threw in their lot with Pakatan Rakyat ahead of the looming general election.

    1. Masa depan Malaysia lebih terjamin di bawah pemerintahan Barisan Nasional (BN) pimpinan Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang kini giat mentransformasikan negara ini menjadi sebuah negara maju menjelang 2020. Datuk Najib tidak pernah lupa akan kepentingan di Sabah juga. Beliau begitu serius untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini.

      berdasarkan pengalamannya berpolitik selama lebih 50 tahun dan menempuh pelbagai cabaran dalam proses pembangunan, negara ini sudah mengalami perubahan yang ketara dari aspek pembangunan hasil usaha pemimpin negara terdahulu sehingga kini.

    2. Ini untuk Sabah, Rakyat pernah berada dalam pemerintahan pembangkang untuk beberapa ketika seperti BERJAYA dan kita sudah merasa kesusahan apabila kita tidak ada hubungan yang baik antara kerajaan negeri dan persekutuan.

      Kalau tidak ada kerjasama antara negeri dan persekutuan, pelaksanaan pembangunan pun agak lembab, jadi kita tidak mahu lagi ia berulang di Sabah, kita sudah lihat bagaimana pantasnya pembangunan di Sabah di bawah BN.

    3. Kerajaan BN Sabah di bawah pimpinan Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman, juga meletakkan kedudukan ekonomi yang lebih kukuh. Harapan saya ialah rakyat Sabah akan terus menyokong kerajaan dan Sabah terus menjadi kubu kuat BN pada pilihan raya akan datang, sekaligus mengulangi pencapaian cemerlang dalam pilihan raya 2008.

    5. Datuk Musa Aman yang mentadbir urus kerajaan negeri sejak sembilan tahun lalu, bukan sahaja dapat memastikan Sabah terus maju, tetapi juga membawa lebih kestabilan politik, kemakmuran dan pembangunan infrastruktur di negeri ini.

      Sabah di bawah beliaupastinya kini sedang pesat membangun. Itu semua sememangnya kita tidak dapat nafikan lagi. Bukan di Kota Kinabalu saja tapi diseluruh daerah merasainya.

    6. Kedudukan topografi kawasan Ranau mungkin salah satu sebab mengapa sistem bekalan air bersih agak sukar disediakan/disalurkan. Ia memerlukan perancangan yang teliti supaya sistem bekalan air ini mampu tahan lama selain mengambil kira persediaan yang sesuai apabila tanah runtuh berlaku.

    9. As far as I concerned, the water supply is free, and the consumer awareness on the water conservation is relatively low. So I think the villagers shouldn't put their hands up so high about this. I mean look at yourself deeply, are you one of the problem makers too?

    1. Apa yang ada kelebihan kepada Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Musa Aman ini adalah strategi Musa yang komprehensif dengan mengambil kira sumber daripada agensi negeri dan persekutuan memulakan visi beliau dengan memastikan Sabah lebih baik dan progresif.

      Datuk Musa Aman telah memperkenal pelan rangka tindakan strategi pembangunan negeri yang dinamakan ‘Halatuju’, dan memberi fokus terhadap usaha agresif meraih hasil daripada potensi bidang pelancongan, pertanian dan perkilangan negeri ini. Sememangnya usaha ini akhirnya berjaya juga di Sabah.

      Delete
    2. Usaha yang berterusan dan tidak pernah lupa akan tanggungjawab membawa sabah terus kehadapan. Pelan ‘Halatuju’ inilah yang dalam tempoh beberapa tahun ini membawa perkembangan berlipat ganda pertumbuhan dalam ketiga-tiga sektor berkenaan.

      Ketiga-tiga aktiviti ekonomi itu menjadi kunci kepada usaha Datuk Musa meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negeri yang memberi kebaikan kepada kehidupan rakyat.

      Delete
    3. Kita dapat lihat juga akan pertumbuhan dan sumbangan berkesan ketiga-tiga sektor itu terhadap ekonomi negeri jelas dilihat sekarang menerusi pelancongan yang menjadi industri yang kian meningkat dengan pertambahan jumlah ketibaan pelancong dan pembinaan lebih banyak hotel. Kalau kita lihat pun dengan peningkatan ini dapat juga membantu meningkatkan ekonomi Sabah dan juga pada masa yang sama dapat memberikan peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk tempatan Sabah sendiri.

      Belum lagi cerita mengenai jumlah keuntungan daripada perlancongan di Sabah ini. Sabah mencatat kemasukan pelancong berjumlah 2.84 juta orang tahun lepas, dan hasil pendapatan daripada pelancongan sebanyak RM4.98 bilion, manakala pembinaan 450 hotel pelbagai taraf di seluruh Sabah.

      Delete
    4. Seterusnya ekonomi Sabah dalam sektor pertanian pula. Keutamaan diberi terhadap usaha menjamin makanan yang mencukupi menerusi usaha pengeluaran dalam negeri selain mengurangkan pergantungan terhadap produk makanan diimport. Itu yang Datuk Musa rancang selama ini. Ini bagi memastikan barangan makanan mencukupi. Sabah memiliki kira-kira 2.5 juta hektar tanah sesuai bagi pembangunan pertanian dan sehingga ke hari ini anggaran 1.5 juta hektar telah dimajukan dengan sektor pertanian menyumbang hasil bernilai RM7.24 bilion pada 2010. Kita dapat lihat dengan usaha ini akan memberikan kebaikkan kepada diri dan ekonomi Sabah.

  3. With Budget 2012 tabled last year by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Sarawak and Sabah is set to be the beneficiary of several initiatives for the rakyat. Formulated with the theme ‘National Transformation Policy: Welfare for the Rakyat, Well-Being of the Nation’, among such measures included funding to accelerate the development of the regional corridors including the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).

    1. During the tabulation of the national budget at the time, the government would allocate RM978 million to accelerate the development of five regional corridors, with emphasis on the Samalaju water supply in SCORE and the palm oil cluster project in Lahad Datu in the Sabah Development Corridor. This was on the back of a total allocation of RM232.8 billion in Budget 2012 to implement all government development plans, which included projects under the Rolling Plan 2, National Key Economic Areas, National Key Results Areas, and Strategic Reform Initiatives.

      Delete
    2. From this amount, RM181.6 billion had been allocated for operating expenditure while RM51.2 billion for development expenditure. To ease inflation as well as enhance the well-being of the rakyat, Najib stressed on taking both short-term and long-term measures to resolve the issue of rising food prices. One such initiative was the allocation of RM1.1 billion in 2012 for the development of the agriculture sector, whereby main projects included irrigation projects in Sabah and Sarawak.

    3. In terms of strengthening the development of rural basic infrastructure in a more detailed manner, the government planned to allocate a total of RM2.1 billion to expand clean water supply to 200,000 houses as well as RM1.1 billion for electric supply to 39,000 houses in the rural areas, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. “The government is committed to ensure the supply of clean water to the rural community particularly in the interiors of Sabah and Sarawak,” highlighted the Prime Minister.

    4. However, the implementation of water supply reticulation projects in these areas takes time. For the time being, the government has provided an additional 20,000 water tanks costing RM52 million for rainwater harvesting, benefitting 100,000 people living in the interior of Sarawak.The government will also expand this programme to Sabah with an allocation of RM50 million.

    5. "Water Department Director Ag Mohd.

    6. "For the long-term, Mohd Tahir said a RM100 million water supply system had been planned to supply treated water to Kundasang town and its areas nearby. Allocation requests have been made under the 10th Malaysia Plan's first rolling plan (2011-2012), second rolling plan (2012-2013) and third rolling (2013-2014). "
