(4th year student of E&E Engineering)

This is extremely good and motivational forum for us, in which indirectly informing us of better jobs that could be made available in Sabah. As a Sabahan, l prefer to stay put and work in Sabah, rather than go overseas or West Malaysia to work because my

hometown and family are all here. Even though the salary here might not be as high as being offered in West Malaysia, I am more than willing to stay put and assist in developing the state and its society. It would be better if there are peoples who can guide us on where to go to find good jobs. I notice that there is still lacking of trust to work here than in West Malaysia. This might be due to limited job opportunities that can be made available here as compared to West Malaysia, in which you can find and get jobs easily. I do think that the industry people here do not train their staffs adequately. The senior must adopt a more willingly attitude to share and assist their junior employees for industry sustainability. They should be open minded and willing to share their knowledge and experience to train potential successors.

The number of ships calling at POIC has been increasing consistently since operation began in 2013. Outbound cargo is set to increase with more manufacturing investments.

CABOTAGE

About Cabotage: or

1 Increasing transport costs and thereby the price of everything is

20 – 30% higher than in West Malaysia

2 Do not allow foreign ships to transport goods “Made in

Malaysia” between any ports in Malaysia

3 Foreign ships can go directly to any ports in Malaysia to deliver

foreign goods

4 Foreign ships can take goods “Made in Malaysia” for export

market from any ports in Malaysia

5 Foreign ships can only make one stop in Port Klang

6 Foreign ships cannot go directly to Sepangar Port

7 Foreign ships can carry “containerized transshipment” goods

from Port Klang and/or Tanjung Pelepas Port to Sepangar Port

and other ports in Kuching and Bintulu and from these ports

back to Port Klang and/or Tanjung Pelepas Port

8

Malaysia has the exclusive right to control the traffic of goods

in any ports within its nation against any foreign interest

9 Lack of competition among domestic shipping lines leading to

inefficiency in service delivery
