Sabah Still The Poorest State

Referring to Online Daily Express report on 11 Nov 2010, World Bank reported that Sabah still the poorest state in Malaysia. Many Malaysian know this as well as Sabahan themselves.

It sad to see Sabah is still rated one of the poorest state. In my opinion, the reports correctly said that majority of the poor family are located in rural area. Most of them are working on their own to support their family. If they are working for somebody, the pay is not enough to support their family. One example, when i was working in Keninagu, the security guard pay to for a month to look after our office is only RM400. What you can buy with RM400 now days? If you have kids and it definitely not enough.

Our government have a long way to increase standard of living for this rural area as majority Sabahan still staying in rural area. There is a lot of infrastructure need to be build before we can achieve this. We hope the government really look at this issue.

No comment or suggestion from me as this is a very broad topic.
