Wednesday, February 8, 2012

KOTA KINABALU, Feb 2 (Bernama) -- An integrated cooperation between relevant departments and agencies can intensify efforts to improve the economic status of the people in rural areas, and hence, create a high-income society.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the cooperation was vital to facilitate go-to-the-ground activities and identify those in need so that no one would be left out of the country's mainstream development.

"Sabah has always looking for the best suitable methods to help the people in the rural areas to improve their living standard.

"Having an integrated cooperation between all the departments and the agencies to identify the economic field that has great potential for growth is among the best methods so far," he told reporters after attending Sabah Foundation Group's briefing on Innovative and Excellent Village programme here today.

Meanwhile, Sabah Foundation Group director Tan Sri Datu Khalil Datu Jamalul said the agency was among the first to take the initiatives to develop the people in the rural areas since 1996.

Among the efforts taken were the construction of people's houses, bridges and jetties, distribution of boats and fishing equipment to fishermen, implementation of gravity water system and construction of educational facilities for the comfort of pupils in rural areas.

  5. One aim the ETP seeks to achieve is to help Malaysia break out of the middle-income trap that has hitherto confined it to a manufacturing-based economy dependent on cheap and semi- skilled labour. The aim is to turn it into a high-technology and modern servicesbased economy that requires professionally qualified and occupationally skilled manpower that commands high salaries and wages and, of course, higher efficiency.

  6. The government is always striving to provide for the development of education, particularly in rural areas, but for the effort to be fruitful there must first be a transformation. The paradigm shift, solidarity, teamwork and perseverance were elements require to elevate the level of education in Sabah to excellence.
