Lawatan Dr Mahathir Buatkan Rakyat Sabah Lebih Positif
26 SEP 1999 Mahathir-Sabah (Fokus Berita) LAWATAN DR MAHATHIR BUATKAN RAKYAT SABAH LEBIH POSITIF Oleh: Jackson Sawatan LAHAD DATU, 26 Sept (Bernama) -- Langit di Lahat Datu pada 17 Sept agak mendung, hari Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dijadualkan untuk melancarkan skim perladangan untuk rakyat termiskin di Bahagak, kira-kira 60km dari bandar ini. Pada pukul 9.30 pagi, ramai daripada 4,000 orang yang hadir itu, datang dari tempat-tempat yang jauh seperti Semporna, kira-kira 170km jaraknya, agak risau dengan keadaan yang mendung itu. "Saya berharap hari tidak akan hujan," terdengar seorang tua berkata kepada kawannya. Mereka mempunyai sebab untuk gusar -- kerana Perdana Menteri baru sahaja berlepas dengan pesawat dari Labuan ke Tawau pagi itu, dan dari situ beliau akan menaiki helikopter untuk sampai ke kawasan ladang yang terpencil itu -- perjalanan yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh keadaan cuaca. Apatah lagi, ia adalah lawatan pertama Dr Mahathir ke ladang tersebut suatu acara yang mereka tidak mahu ketinggalan. Yang lain nampaknya tenang dan seorang daripada yang hadir berkata: "Perdana Menteri akan datang, helikopter yang dinaikinya itu berupaya untuk menangani cuaca buruk seumpama itu." Orang ramai menarik nafas lega, apabila juruacara majlis mengumumkan Perdana Menteri sedang dalam perjalanan untuk datang ke tempat itu. Tepat pada pukul 10 pagi helikopter yang membawa Dr Mahathir dan rombongannya termasuk Ketua Menteri Datuk Osu Sukam, mendarat kira-kira 100 meter dari granstan. Semasa Perdana Menteri keluar dari pesawat, orang ramai berpusu-pusu untuk berjabat tangan dengan beliau. Pada ketika-ketika tertentu, hadirin yang bersemangat itu terpaksa dikawal bagi membolehkan Perdana Menteri dan rombongannya sampai ke granstan. -
Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent
BIBLIOGRAPHICINFORMATION Why Governments Fail to Capture Economic Rent: The Unofficial Appropriation of Rain Forest Title Rent by Rulers in Insular Southeast Asia Between 1970 and 1999 Source http://www.geocities.com/davidbrown_id/Diss/DWB.Fintext.doc Author 1 Brown, David Walter Author 2 NA Author 3 NA Publication/Conference Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation Edition NA Document Type Dissertation CPI Primary Subject East Malaysia CPI Secondary Subject Political economy; Sabah ; Sarawak; Geographic Terms Sabah; Sarawak Abstract NA CentreforPolicyInitiatives(CPI) PusatInitiatifPolisi http://www.cpiasia.org 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The world’s tropical rain forests are important socially and environmentally as well as by virtue of their contributions to economic growth. As these forests are logged, their social values as generators of rural incomes and their environmental services as biodiversity reserves, carbon sinks, soil reserves, and watersheds tend to diminish. Despite these facts, most governments in the tropics are unable to resist logging these forests in favor of national economic objectives, including: creation of a forest industrial sector, higher employment, positive balance of payments, and increased government revenues. However, given the high economic stakes that can be obtained from their forests, it is seems counterintuitive that tropical governments rarely succeed in optimally harnessing government revenue from this valuable natural resource. This staggering loss of revenue to developing countries obviously has important implications for economic development. Timber revenue could be used, for example, to finance the kind of strategic industrial policies that allow the high performing Asian economies to achieve high levels of economic growth. This dissertation argues that states with rain forests are often unable to collect optimal revenue from the massive profit earned by timber companies that harvest state forests because this profit already has a hidden destination. -

This project has two case studies from the Cameroon in Africa and the island of Borneo in South-east Asia. According to the terms of reference, the objectives of the two case studies were to: Build an evidence base on the geographic overlap between areas currently targeted for agribusiness investments and areas of importance for ape conservation; Identify the scale, trends and drivers of agribusiness investments; Identify the impact that agribusiness investments are having on ape conservation and build in-country engagement and awareness on this issue; Assess opportunities and constraints in legal frameworks and political economy; and, Identify key issues generated by the interface between agribusiness investments and ape conservation in order to highlight lessons learned and help the Arcus Foundation develop a global strategy on ape conservation in the context of large-scale land acquisitions. -
Maal Hijrah Erat Perpaduan (BH 07/04/2000)
07/04/2000 Maal Hijrah erat perpaduan KUALA LUMPUR, Khamis - Sambutan Maal Hijrah di seluruh negara disambut penuh bermakna dengan penuh kesedaran di kalangan umat Islam pelbagai peringkat usia. Malah, kebanyakan Raja-Raja Melayu dalam titah ucapan sempena sambutan di peringkat negeri masing-masing, menekankan perlunya umat Islam mengelak permusuhan, perpecahan dan perbalahan antara mereka. Di KUALA LUMPUR, sambutan Maal Hijrah Peringkat Kebangsaan di Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil, dekat sini dihadiri Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. Turut hadir, Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Siti Aishah; Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan isteri, Datin Seri Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi serta isteri, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood. Di KUANTAN, Sultan Pahang mengajak umat Islam supaya sedar dan menginsafi penyakit perpecahan, permusuhan dan perbalahan yang boleh mengakibatkan umat Islam semakin lemah dan tidak berdaya menghadapi pelbagai helah dan taktik pihak yang tidak sukakan Islam. Baginda bertitah, perangkaan penduduk Islam yang dikeluarkan Yayasan Kependudukan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, pada tahun 2000, menunjukkan bilangan penduduk Islam dianggarkan satu perempat daripada penduduk dunia. Baginda bertitah, pertambahan jumlah masyarakat Islam itu, membimbangkan Barat kerana pengaruh Islam mampu menggugat kedudukannya dari segi sosiologi, selain jumlah penduduk yang ramai mempunyai implikasi memudahkan penyebaran dan pengaruh Islam. "Bagaimanapun, penyakit perpecahan, permusuhan dan perbalahan sesama sendiri itu menyebabkan kita menjadi semakin lemah dan tidak berdaya untuk menghadapi mereka yang tidak sukakan Islam. "Oleh itu, berdasarkan senario yang berlaku di sekitar kita, sudah tiba masanya umat Islam mengenal pasti punca dan masalah yang dihadapi umat Islam pada masa ini. -
519 Straight Fights (HL) (NST 21/11/1999)
21/11/1999 519 straight fights (HL) Joceline Tan; Sarban Singh KUALA LUMPUR, Sat. - The Barisan Nasional and the Opposition will face off in 192 parliamentary and 393 State constituencies in one of the most hotly-contested general elections since Independence. When nominations closed today, the two remaining seats - one for Parliament and the other for the Johor State Assembly - were won unopposed by the BN. The winners were incumbent Douglas Ugah Anak Embas for Betong in Sarawak, and Yap Chik Dong for the Tangkak State seat in Johor. Most of the constituencies - 152 parliamentary and 367 State - will see straight fights between candidates from the BN and the Alternative Front - a loose coalition of Pas, Parti Keadilan Nasional, DAP and PRM. Altogether 425 candidates will be vying for parliamentary seats and 811 for State seats come polling day on Nov 29. The scene at many nomination centres took on a festive air when candidates showed up with supporters bearing flags and banners. Although there was much competitive shouting and cheering, no untoward incidents were reported. The Election Commission also lived up to its promise to be liberal about technicalities because although scores of objections were filed, there were only four disqualifications including that of Malaysian Democratic Party secretary-general Wee Choo Keong in the Bukit Bintang parliamentary seat. Prime Minister and BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad arrived to file his nomination papers at the Kubang Pasu district office at about 9.20am to cries of "Hidup Mahathir!" Dr Mahathir, who has held Kubang Pasu since 1974, was accompanied by BN State candidates Barishah Saad (Tunjang), Prof Othman Ishak (Jitra) and about 5,000 supporters. -
An Open Letter to YB Osu Sukam
28/03/1999 An open letter to YB Osu Sukam Ahmad A. Talib DEAR Datuk Osu Haji Sukam, I must first of all congratulate you for the Barisan Nasional's fine showing in this month's State election. I must also congratulate you for being appointed the 12th Chief Minister of Sabah, a position you now hold in the 50th year of your life. God Almighty has been kind to you, as have the voters of Sabah. You must have a special feeling of the voters of Kawang. You won with a majority of 2,213 votes, beating Datuk Ariah Tengku Ahmad of Parti Bersatu Sabah. This must have been a sweet victory indeed. Your record shows you have done very well. You first contested in Kawang, the same constituency, in 1985 on an Usno ticket. Your first adventure into State politics almost produced a win, having lost to Wenches B. Lajingah of PBS by only 199 votes. But in the 1986 general election, you stood as a BN candidate in the parliamentary seat of Papar and won with a majority of 206 votes against James Haji Ghani @ Ebi, an Independent. Your other victories were in 1990 (BN-Papar); 1994 (BN-Kawang); and April 1995 (BN-Papar). Such a fine record must have done everyone proud, but then you had a long tutelage which started when you began work as an administration officer in the State Ministry of Development and Industry in 1972. Your subsequent exposure to administrative work helped to propel you to bigger responsibilities. Which was why in May 1994 you were made Minister of Land and Co- operative Development in the Federal Cabinet. -
BN SABAH to DECIDE the FUTURE of ROTATION SYSTEM, SAYS ABDULLAH (Bernama 17/11/2003)
17 NOV 2003 Abdullah-Rotation BN SABAH TO DECIDE THE FUTURE OF ROTATION SYSTEM, SAYS ABDULLAH KOTA KINABALU, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the Barisan Nasional (BN) leadership has yet to decide on whether to go on or otherwise with the rotation system in Sabah. Abdullah, who is the national BN chairman, said he would not interfere in the matter but would leave it to the state BN leaders to reach a consensus. "I don't want to interfere with that...it's up to them. If they agree, we will go with it. "We don't want to quarrel about it. We don't want it to divide us...we don't want to quarrel because if we are divided we will be weak and it's the BN which will suffer," he told reporters after attending the breaking of fast with Sabah Umno and state BN leaders, here tonight. On the whether the BN would include any reference to the system in the BN's manifesto in the coming state election as in the past, Abdullah said: "Just wait...the manifesto, it's still a long way." The unique system, mooted by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, was practised in Sabah since the BN formed the state government in March 1994. It was to give the opportunity to leaders of the three major communities in Sabah -- the Muslim Bumiputera, non-Muslim Bumiputera and the Chinese -- to lead the state on a two-year rotational basis. The system however underwent a slight modification in March 2001 to give prominence to Umno. -
Official:Osu Sukam Sabah Deputy Cm from Monday
04 JUN 1998 Anwar - Osu OFFICIAL:OSU SUKAM SABAH DEPUTY CM FROM MONDAY KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 (Bernama) -- Datuk Osu Sukam will assume duties as Sabah's new Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister from Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today. Osu's replacement as federal Land and Cooperative Development Minister will be decided by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar told reporters at the Treasury here. "The prime minister has agreed that Osu Sukam takes over the post of Sabah deputy chief minister and finance minister effective Monday," Anwar said. Reporters approached Anwar on the matter after he announced details of the soon-to-be-formed Pengurusan Dana Harta Nasional (Danaharta) which is to function as an asset management company. Anwar said Osu is to tender his resignation as a federal minister on Monday. Asked who would succeed Osu as Land and Cooperative Development Minister, Anwar said: "It's the sole prerogative of the prime minister." Dr Mahathir, who is currently on a working visit to Japan, is scheduled to return home tomorrow. Osu, 49, will be filling the post left vacant by Datuk Ghapur Salleh who declined to be reappointed. Osu is the Sabah Umno liaison chairman and Member of Parliament for Papar. He is also the state assemblyman for Kawang and a member of the Umno Supreme Council. He was appointed Land and Cooperative Development Minister in 1994 succeeding Tan Sri (now Tun) Sakaran Dandai, who was made Sabah chief minister then. Osu retained the Cabinet portfolio after the 1995 general election. -
Background Information on the Kaiduan Dam Project, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo 11 February 2010
Background Information on the Kaiduan Dam Project, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo 11 February 2010 The government of Sabah has granted approval in February 2008 to carry out a feasibility study and submit technical proposals for the implementation of the Kaiduan Dam Project, situated at Ulu Papar in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. A similarly named project, but of a smaller scale, is listed as one of the 16 proposed dams 1 under the Sabah Water Resource Management MasterPlan as announced in the 1990s by the then Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Osu Sukam. Under the Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) for Sabah, a Water Resources Council is to be established to advise the Minister and co-ordinate and oversee that the State’s water resources are planned and managed in an equitable, efficient and sustainable manner 2. However, to date, this Council still does not exist formally, although there is an interim de facto Council that sits under the Pejabat Hasil Bumi (Natural Resources office). Transparency & due process Concern stems from the lack of transparency in the process leading up to the government’s appointment of WCT Bhd (the Contractor), a publicly listed company, to carry out the Kaiduan Dam Project. Further concern rests with the Contractor’s subsequent appointment of SMHB Sdn Bhd (the Consultant) to conduct the preliminary Feasibility Study. The Water Resources Council was not consulted on the plans for the Kaiduan Dam Project, neither were the elected representatives 3 or relevant government agencies – who claimed to be unaware of the plans for the dam. According to SMHB Sdn Bhd, the Feasibility Study was completed and submitted to the Sabah State Government in early 2008. -
