SABAHAN SHOULD HEAD SESB

Daily Express Forum , 15th Aug 2010 .

The DEIA report on the Felda coal fired power plant suggests SESB and TNB are not honest on the damage the environment will take. SESB Managing Director Barahim Din should start being frank. My golden question to him is whether he is doing all this for an eventual Vice President promotion in TNB?

Tell us Sabahan who are the mysterious main guys behind Lahad Datu Energy (LDE)? Tell us who you are trying to better, if any.

Tell all the truth Baharin, you seem to be talking about integrity far too long and far too much.

Baharin, think, think and think what damage you will be leaving behind to us Sabahans to live with. You will be in Kuala Lumpur seeing Sabah from a distance with all of us suffering from very poor health problems. Stop being selfish. Tell the Government that gas is the best option and leave peacefully eternally.

If gas (belonging to Sabah) can be piped to Bintulu in Sarawak, why is it not possible to pipe it to the east coast of Sabah? Are Sabahans thought to be that stupid?

Baharin should also explain how he plans to convince about the Saidi 700 minutes target for SESB.

SESB’s Saidi has breached the 700 minutes target. Hopefully you are not cooking the figures so that Minister Peter Chin will not lose his job as he had promised.

Barisan Nasional cannot afford to risk losing votes in Sabah just because of SESB in the next general election.

In SESB, a smoking room has even been approved on the second floor of Wisma SESB for a senior official to smoke and lazy around. Sabah’s tax payers paid for the construction of this glass room. It was made to fulfill only one man’s need, although few others have since joined him in the smoking sessions.

The MACC should investigate this abuse of power and money. The public should also visit this latest tourist attraction in SESB. See how lavishly SESB is spending your money.

Another senior official had a tailor girlfriend who got the contract for sewing two different jackets (grey and red) for SESB staff all over Sabah.

Following a publication of a letter regarding this in Forum, tenders were immediately called and three more tailors have since been included. That’s the beauty about the Daily Express and why it is Sabah’s best newspaper.

Then there was the wrongful dismissal of an executive where SESB had to pay RM200,000 as compensation. MACC should come in to investigate the staff uniform tailoring and the wrongful dismissal compensation payment.

May I ask what is terribly wrong with a Sabahan that he or she cannot be the SESB Managing Director? Sabahan will do a better job and understand Sabahans better.

The time has come for SESB to be under the Sabah Government with a Sabahan CEO. Remember that 2,400 SESB staff and their family members and friends and associates can mean lots of votes.

After 12 years of TNB rule over SESB we did not see much improvement and the general public knows that very well. We say loud and clear that we want a Sabahan to lead SESB and SESB returned to the Sabah Government.
