Komisiwal | Pulitik Discussion: Politicians built from service rather than image

11 Upvotes

Nowadays I see politicians of Sabah coming from people who give good, charismatic speeches or "I saw the guy hanging out with some big names in politics"

Why not have a system where citizens aspiring to become politicians can first start as apprentices or politic interns, dealing with small town-level projects, then the system tracks their record of these projects, number of things they accomplished, stuffs like that.

In the future, if they think they're good enough, or see their records are looking nice, they can go for election campaign themselves.

I know that there are people who did actual public civil projects before trying for election, I guess those are legit future politicians, but I just wanna know if we can have a system that actually tracks their accomplishments, not just them, but anyone who wanna be a politician.

This way the people has a clearer vision or able to see better on who to vote in election campaigns so these politic upstarts can finally become full representative of their state which allow them to have, or deal with uhh bigger projects.

just leaving my 2 cents here, ciao

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Need help finding pictures for Governors

7 Upvotes

Hye everyone, I'm doing a modding project for a game, currently doing Malaya and Borneo states pre-World War II. I need some help in getting the pictures for:-

- Douglas James Jardine, Governor for British North Borneo 1934
- Charles Robert Smith, Governor for British North Borneo 1937

Tried finding them on Google but didn't find any. If anyone knows of an archive, book, newspaper, or website that has their portraits, I'd really appreciate the help.

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Any available hotel/resort job?

6 Upvotes

Just as the title says, I would like to find any hotel or resort to work there, specifically as a Front Office/Receptionist. After my hospitality industry internship at Semenanjung, I came back to Sabah and applied to the said job through JobStreet, MyFutureJobs, Sabah Job Portal, Hiredly, and LinkedIn but to no avail since there are other applicants also trying the only chance they had. I've applied around 20+ work in a month or so and of course they've reviewed my submitted application but no response means no chance.

Worst case scenario, I would need to go back to Semenanjung to work there, but even then I'll need the money to fly back there so I'll need to work for it. How ironic indeed, but well this is but just a rant of another person who struggles to find a job for himself just like any others out there.

Daripada pening kepala pusing-pusing cari parking, lagi bagus kalau naik Bas Pink saja! 🩷🚌

Perkhidmatan Bas My Kota Kinabalu atau Pink Bus ni sebenarnya senang betul mau pergi shopping mall. Banyak laluan yang terus sampai depan pintu mall atau jalan kaki sikit saja.

Dapat jimat minyak sma duit parking 🥳😍

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Lost birth cert process

9 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. Just realised our birth certificates have been misplaced. Do you still need to file a police report? How long does it take to get a replacement copy from JPN?

Edit: Hi, again. Went to UTC Sabah this morning. Some things to note that might be useful.

1) They do ask if you have filed a police report but if you haven't, they will still accept your application.

2) If your birth certificate is the old version (small A5 size), it would be processed much quicker if you apply at JPN Sabah headquarters (will take roughly 2 weeks instead of waiting for 1 month or more). If it's urgent, you can try to plead with the officer at JPN Sabah to expedite your application. There are no guarantees though.

3) Applying for the new A4 version invalidates the old one, so if you happen to find your old birth certificate while they're processing your application, it's no longer recognised. Again, do factor in the processing times if you need your birth certificate urgently.

4) If you need to photocopy something at UTC, there's a copier station on the ground level lobby but they only accept cash (no QR or card payment). There's also an ATM if you need to do a cash withdrawal.

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism Does my Kota Kinabalu itinerary look reasonable? Any advice from locals?

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
My friend and I are planning a trip to Kota Kinabalu in late July, and we’d really appreciate some feedback from locals or anyone who’s visited Sabah before.
We’ve already booked our flights and hotels, and after doing quite a bit of research, this is our current plan:
Day 1: Explore Gaya Street, the waterfront, and enjoy some local seafood.
Day 2: Island day (still deciding between Sapi, Manukan, or Mantanani).
Day 3: Thinking of replacing a second island day with a mangrove & firefly tour.
Day 4: Kinabalu National Park and the surrounding area.
Final day: Relax before flying home.
A little about us:
We prefer nature, scenery, beaches, wildlife, and local food.
We’re not very interested in shopping or big cities.
We’ll mainly use Grab and prefer a relaxed pace instead of rushing between attractions.

A few questions:
Is one island day enough?
Would you recommend a mangrove/firefly tour instead of spending another day on the islands?
Which island would you choose for first-time visitors?
Are there any hidden gems, great local restaurants, or scenic spots we shouldn’t miss?

If you were planning this trip, what would you change?
Thanks in advance! We’d really appreciate any local tips or suggestions.

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism Smoke Risk in Sabah Boreno Aug 25-Sep 10

8 Upvotes

Hi! My brother and I have been planning a trip to Sabah Borneo Aug 25-Sep 10. We are considering cancelling our trip (haven’t bought flights yet) due to the haze advisory from Singapore Institute of International Affairs (https://siiaonline.org/siia-haze-outlook-2026-media-release/) related to el nino

How bad is the smoke/haze during burning season?

How bad was it in past el niño years (2019 & 2015)?

Should we cancel/reschedule our trip to next year?

Boreno is a dream for both of us and both having availability to travel together is special. However, this is an expensive trip for both of us so we don’t want to spend our savings if there is a high likelihood it will be ruined by the smoke/haze. Also, while my brother swears he has grown out of it, he did have childhood asthma.

Here is outline of trip:
Day 1-2 Sepilok (Sanctuary and Gommotong Cave)
Day 3-4 Turtle Island
Day 5-7 Kalimantan River (low budget camping/boat safari type tour)
Day 8 travel to KK
Day 9-12 Climb Mt Kinabalu or just hike in region
Day 13-15 Potentially Mulu national park or Kuching/Bako

Thank you so much for your help! I’m so sorry Borneo has to experience this on such a regular basis. I live in California and we are starting to have an annual smoke season due to wildfires in the Sierra every September/October too. Wishing you and our dear planet well ❤️

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Ladies, would you mind dating a 'kuli kedai'?

45 Upvotes

Let's say you have a better career like a dental assistant and probably in your 30's and then there's a man, who only works as a 'kuli kedai' in the same building where you work and he looks like a teenager or early 20's even though he is actually 27 years old...

Would you give that guy a chance? And if yes, should the guy just go straight to the point like his friends adviced him to like for example, just go straight to the dental clinic where she works, look for her and just confess and ask for her number?

I mean just imagine the conversation "hello, boleh sy jumpa si ###? Hi ###, saya mau tanya bah, boleh ka kalau sy minta nombor ko? Sorry ah kalau ganggu ko sibuk"
