The Short Answer

My resume is not just getting certifiates but getting the best results in the state of Sabah. Also at a course at City Univeristy of London in 1981. I am not sure if I were the best at Swansea College of Further Education where I got 4A and 1B in just one year of a 2-year course because there is no official statement on this but among my batch, it could be the best.

Penyelesaian Masalah Letrik dan Air di Sabah

Kalau Sabah di peruntukan sama rata dengan Malaysia, tiada masalah, tapi sudah berpuluh tahun di peruntukkan kurang separuh dari Malaysia untuk seorang penduduk. Kenapa pentingnya duit? Perlu sediakan Leyrik lebih dari 100% sebagai back-up. Negara maju semua ada sekurang-kurangnya 30% lebihan kuasa janakuasa Eletrik, dan talian metrik. Kalau satu laluan putus, ada satu lagi.

Penyelesaian cara Islam ialah dengan menghapuskan Subsidi tapi di ganti dengan bayaran duit terus. Daripada duit di beri kepada pembekal Letrik, beri duit terus kepada semua rakyat sama rata.  Tapi, harga letrik di biarkan naik lah.
