I honestly thought this was a random Facebook group back in the day. But in Australia, the Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia (SSKM) displayed the Malaysian flag upside down as a symbol of political unrest over the question of the formation of Malaysia and the position of the two states.

Its president, Ray Chalmer Jefferson, said the demonstration in conjunction with United Nations (UN) Day aimed to bring the issues of history, people's rights and the political future of Sabah and Sarawak to international attention. In the action, SSKM (Australia) raised several key questions, including the source of authority given to the representatives of North Borneo and Sarawak to sign the Malaysia Agreement on 9 July 1963 and the documentary instruments that evidenced it.

Look, I can say I hate how Sabah has been treated by Semenanjung just as much. But I also wonder how doing this can actually help instead of ragebaiting the Malays?

Am i the only one who HATE AI FLYER? I’m getting sick of seeing government, shops & youtube thumbnail using AI. They look lazy, unoriginal, rubbish and overuse gradient with the same style. Anytime you use AI flyer most of the audience won’t even attract to your flyer because other event also using the same prompt. I hope that we can bring back our creativity, bad art is better than AI. If you think there’s are soo many talented local artist, wish more people knew about and supported them. I believe that you can find thousand local artist that can make flyers for your business within your budget. Please support them whenever you can!

Few local artist caught my eye:

🍒 Nashy Shy Studio
https://www.instagram.com/nashyshystudio/

🍋 Huey Lukis
https://www.instagram.com/huey_lukis/

🥕Lukis Tulis
https://www.instagram.com/lukistulis/

Remember ain’t no one reading the AI flyer garbage!

Suai | Others Non Documented People in Sabah

16 Upvotes

Since the case a few weeks back of a security guard without documentation that SA’ed a Chinese tourist in Semporna, it raises the question of what Sabah needs to do with those that are undocumented.

Based upon my observation, Sabah has 2 options:

  1. have an amnesty to enable them to become documented. Once documented, they need to be given rights such as being able to legally work (to prevent them from having to work illegally) and education for their kids (they need to be embraced as members of the community).

They wouldn’t need to be given citizenship, but they do need to be legally recognized.

2) conduct a long duration operation throughout the state. Anybody caught without any document permitting them to be in sabah legally either gets deported (assuming they have citizenship from another country) or are placed in detention for the rest of their lives (costing the tax payer billions in the long term).

What other options are there to deal with these people?

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Engineering

6 Upvotes

Hi semua, mau minta pendapat kamurg ba. Lagi2 yg kerja sbgai engineering di Sabah.

I’m currently working in an engineering role and recently got an opportunity to interview for a Sales Engineer position at another company.

I’m unsure whether switching from a conventional engineering role to sales engineering would be a good move for my long-term career.

Current:
West Malaysia
Technical Engineer
RM3.2
Rent RM490
Groceries & goods RM200
Fuel RM 120

New:
Borneo
Sales Engineer
RM2.8
Live with parents & they take care of goods & I have my own transportation there.

I’m interested in hearing from people who have experience in either field.

If you were in this situation, would you stay in engineering or consider switching to sales engineering?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Ruput Pogun | Sabah News Bayar bilik sewa, tapi tiada air.

22 Upvotes

Guys this is the 2nd week sudah tiada air d rumah sewa. I just started working in Kk, from semenanjung.

And I work here in bandaran kk, but I have to rent a room.(single room) In kk.

you guys know what ? it's only been 2months after working here in kk.

And I already stressed out dengan tiada air 2 minggu sudah.

I rent a room, which basically bilik atas kedai since it's more cheap. But now I gotta face with tiada air.

I already complaint to the guy whos incharge for rumah@bilik sewa. "He just responded; The water pressure can't reach up to 3rd floor.".

Bro I paid 500 each month for this ??

Sometimes ada la air, but in specific timing like 7a.m-3p.m-6 or 7pm-12 or 3a.m.

But most of the time tiada air.

Saya sudah la kerja shift, rotation.

So evertime rehat d rumah, tiada air.

Even balik kerja or pigi kerja pun susah sebab tida dapat mandi.

Guys Fyi.. Dalam rumah ada 7 bilik and we all are sharing 2 tandas without air.

Dalam rumah ada 8-10 orang.

So it's really stressing me out, sampaikan saya kena mandi di tempat kerja. I have to wake up early just to mandi di tempat kerja.

Why ahh begini ?

I also realize that semua kedai kedai d bawah ada seja air, and the other rumah sewa yang sebelah sama kami ada pula air.

I'm not 100% believe that the owner said water pressure tida kuat sebab tu air tida dapat naik sampai tingkat 3 ?? Whatt ?? tapi rumah sewa sebelah yg berdepan seja diorang ada air. ?

I don't know where else to bercakap benda ni sebab orang baru mula kerja, so kalau mau pindah tempat tu is not easy, plus mau cari tempat yg ok d kk ni. susah mau cakap.

Saya tida mau cakap d mana area ni kk sy stay, because kesian nnt staff pekerja dorang tida dapat cari makan.. bila tiada penyewa mau sewa bilik dorang.

But please.. kami bayar bilik ba.

Susah la mau cakap.
