| Sabah CM Musa Aman |
SANDAKAN:
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said he has recently held
discussion with an institution to set up a centre for modern agriculture
training and skills to train youths in Sabah under the Young Agro
Businessmen (YAB) project.
The setting up of the centre is to produce modern farmers and to provide
opportunities to youths and school leavers in the State to become
successful modern farmers, Musa said, at the official opening of the
Sandakan Area Farmers Organization’s new office and its 9th Annual
General Meeting in Bandar Labuk Jaya yesterday.
“The State
Government is committed and working closely with the Federal Government
in taking measures to boost the agriculture industry in the State to
enable it to give maximum impact to drive the development of the State
to a higher level,” he said.
Musa added that the State
Agriculture Director had met him to request for a piece of land of two
to three acres in Sandakan to build a training and marketing centre.
“In
principle, I agreed to the request because our youths who are
unemployed , can be trained to become agriculture entrepreneurs. Today,
the agriculture sector is a lucrative venture and can generate high
returns,” Musa, who is also State Finance Minister, said.
The
State and Federal Barisan Nasional Governments have always implemented
development projects and programmes for the benefit of the people, he
added.
Since 1993, the Government has allocated RM29 million to
set up 25 Farmers Organization offices throughout the State and thus I
am urging them to fully utilize these premises to provide the best
services to members in their respective areas, Musa said.
In the
context of the State Government, the existence of two farmers
organizations with a total membership of 56,000 people will not only
serve as a complement to help the government develop the economic sector
but also contribute towards progress and modernization of the
agricultural sector, thus raising the standard of living of the people
in the State, Musa said.
Meanwhile, Musa also presented the 2011
Successful Farmers Awards, Excellent Student Awards to children of
Sandakan Area Farmers Organization members, assistance for the admission
to a university first degree programme and “Jasamu Dikenang” recipients
during the function.
Among those present were Farmers’
Organization Authority of Malaysia chairman, Dato Haji Zainal Dahalan,
Sandakan Area Farmers Organization Board of Directors chairman, Haji
Hamdan Hamid, Sandakan Municipal Council president, Datuk James Wong,
Assistant Minister to Chief Minister, Datuk Edward Khoo, Libaran Member
of Parliament, Datuk Juslie Ajirol and Gum Gum State Assemblyman, Datuk
Zakaria Haji Edris.

Thanks for CM for remembering our people esp the youth in Sabah. We welcome more activites / happening in Sabah to catch up with W. Malaysia.
We are 5 to 10 years behind W.Malaysia. Time to catch up before it is too late.
I'm glad to hear the government's initiative to set up this modern agriculture training centre for the locals to participate in. This will help improve the agriculture skills and knowledge of the people.
Lebih banyak pusat latihan dan kemahiran akan dibina di Sabah. Rakyat Sabah terutama golongan belia perlu memanfaatkannya.
Ini adalah satu rancangan yang baik daripada kerajaan untuk memberikan peluang kepada belia muda mendapatkan latihan dan pekerjaan dalam sektor agriculture.
Diharapkan anak-anak muda temaptan akan mengambil peluang ini untuk melibatkan diri dalam sektor ini kerana ada potensi untuk dibangunkan.
Indeed Alexis, Petronas will also be setting up Kimanis Petroleum Training Centre which will give opportunity to the locals to get trained in the oil and gas sector. There are more training center which will benefit the locals and boost job opportunity.

True, Anak Sabah. This is a good program which can allow the youngsters to get involved in the agriculture sector, we should have a modernized agriculture practice to boost efficiency and production and eventually leads to food security. Hopefully the government will continue to boost the local agriculture sector.
This is a good opportunity, to those youngsters who are still unemployed or unsure what path to take, it is good to take advantages on these agriculture training.
ini peluang baik bagi anak2 muda untuk meningkatkan kemahiran mereka, peluang mereka juga pasti cerah.
baguslah..golongan belia harus memanfaatkan peluang ini dengan sebaiknya.
ini peluang golongan muda untuk dapatkan kemahiran, jadi ia harus digunakan dengan sebaiknya.
ini satu usaha yang baik oleh kerajaan dan mampu untuk membangunkan sektor pertanian.
memang baik jika banyak pusat latihan dan kemahiran diwujudkan. ini baik untuk belia Sabah.
teruskan usaha untuk majukan rakyat dan negeri ini.
Program yang akan di sokong semua rakyat Sabah.
Ambil peluang yang di beri..
negara2 lain sudahpun menggunakan kaedah pertanian moden untuk meningkatkan produktiviti mereka.. Sabah juga perlu menggunakan kaedah yang sama..
