Sabahan getting 'less poor'..?

Guong

KOTA KINABALU, Feb 10 — There are 16,403 hardcore poor households in Sabah currently, from 21,514 in 2007, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said today. more

Really? But what I see is quite different or should I say pretty much the same as 'usual'. Who are these hardcore poor peoples. Are the squatters included which are mostly Illegal Immigrants?

Or is this some kind of hint that a by-election is coming in 'you know where'.

Musa also said that the Rural and Regional Development Ministry had allocated RM100 million for the building of 2,486 units of houses in Sabah this year.

The state government was also allocated RM 23.2 million for implementation of programmes to provide a better livelihood for the people, which included career development training, nutritional and supplementary food programme, he added. — Bernama. news

Another huge allocation. This isn't the first time. But what have been done that really stands out and beneficial to Sabahan in general? And, I'm not talking about shopping complex or mall (like 1Borneo) but resources development.

Seems like this is just another statistic and numbers that will be used as bait in political campaign. Sigh..
