Reading the key to making do without the PTI

By Joe Fernandez
Reading is the key to Sabah making do without the PTI.

The Orang Asal -- Murut and Dusun including Kadazan or urban Dusun -- and the other Sabahans like the Bajau, Suluk and Indians/Chinese must take up the reading habit.

They must not go anywhere without a book in hand. One we acquire the reading habit, we will not start yawning and fall asleep the moment we open a book.
The reading habit will help ensure that at least 30 to 35 per cent of the students enter university.

The others can pursue diploma and certificate courses and acquire all sorts of skills needed by a modern economy.

It's not true that foreign labour is a must to run the economy. Sabah should do away with the kind of economy dependent on unskilled labour.

Many countries have managed to develop themselves without relying on foreign labour.

If the Orang Asal in particular don't take up the reading habit, and soon, they will end up losing their country, their land and eventually even their women. That will be the end of the bangsa, agama and negara.

Future generations will urinate on the graves of the present generation when that happens.

  2. Actually we are all book lovers but due to the advanced tech, we have lots in hand so we don't need to waste too much time seeking books outside. And no need to point out which race and religion deserve much.
