Urban Roads in Somalia vs Sabah

 

Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia. Posted in May 2023.

Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah, a nation downgraded to the poorest state in Malaysia despite contributing the largest petroleum, oil palm and timber revenues.


Uploaded in July 2023. Notice how there is no equivalent flyover like Mogadishu despite Kota Kinabalu suffering from massive traffic jams.

This video gives too little justice to the beauty of Kota Kinabalu. It's waterfront has the best sunset city view, while preserving the greenish and blue sea, that still feed birds. The beach may be gone due to filling by greedy politicians like Jefry Kitingan that demanded the right to destroy nature to gain revenue.

There are even still a 2 km beach and international airport, 5 km from the city. Beware though, there are approved plans to fill the beach and relocate the airport to 60 km away, with no plan to reduce the worsening traffic jams and electric and water interruptions. Just hope the water does not become salty like another city, bigger than Kota Kinabalu that is supplied with only salty water.

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. My target has always been the best in the world, but I always failed but ended up being the best in the state or a group of students.     BSc(Hons) course List of students in the same course, Electrical and Electronic Engineering     SRP 1974 Daily Express, 23 March 1977, Jabatan Arkib Certified      Cambridge School Certificate, 1976     Reported in Chinese Newspaper in Sandakan Google Translate: Othman 5 points, classmate Hsu Chi Ming 6 points, 1st and 2nd in Sabah.

Penyelesaian Masalah Letrik dan Air di Sabah

 Punca utama ialah tidak cukup peruntukan dari hasil Negara Sabah. Terlalu banyak di rampas oleh Malaysia iaitu Malaya. 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. Di pantai timur Sabah ada 3 laluan dari Pantai Barat. Dari Ranau, Pitas dan Kalabakan. Bekalan air serupa juga. Mesti lebih dari 100% bekalan lah  Sama juga dengan paip-paip. 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.
