Ba Ba Bla Bla Wow Wow Again and Again

Of course the sounds are familiar across the country and Sabah no less. They are the sounds of frustrations, desperations, anger and hopelessness emanated from the opposition parties. They are never ending and no matter how hard you try to close your ears you can still hear such tingling sounds. This is what the opposition is all about and the people must be prepared to hear them again and again and louder as time goes on. The question that I have been asking is why the continuous sounds keep on coming from the opposition?

The government is doing fine under the leadership of Datuk Musa Aman. Developments are continuous under proper plans and visions of the CM which is envisaged in his HALATUJU a three-pronged approach in developing the state. I am captivated by his clear focus to steer the state forward with special emphasis on agriculture, tourism and manufacturing. These three sectors are important as they encompass big percentages of the economy and their success will definitely drive-up developments. Their present success anyway is already apparent and no one can close their eyes on and deny the success of these plans of the CM.

To top it up the CM has introduced a new development plan under the SDC initiative. The Sabah Development Corridor, to me is the mother of all visions. It is a development plan to bring people near to each other, to enable connectivity through the development of infrastructures that connects many urban and sub-urban areas. The essence to this is to provide business opportunities to many, provides mobility and with the end result of poverty eradication. Excellent idea isn't it?

So what are the opposition grievances? Is it not the first task of government to bring progress and prosperity to the people? It is now all planned and envisioned by the CM and therefore it is our duties as citizens to help the government ensure success.

This is not the time to ba ba bla bla and wow wow but to help in the successful implementation of all the government plans. In fact we are lucky and fortunate to have a leader who has a great vision of progress and development for the people. We are lucky to have someone with such caliber, aptitude and tenacity. We the people must not lose sight of what we have and the people that lead us.We must not take away or replace 'the goose that lays the golden eggs'. Instead we must protect it at all costs.

Politically I know this is a challenging time for the people. It is therefore important no matter what for us to remain firm in our belief that only the present government under the leadership of Datuk Musa Aman can lead us to progress, peace and harmony. Stay on and like the rock of Gibralta be unwavered in your support of BN/UMNO.
