I HAVE the privilege of meeting Datuk Bung Moktar recently. Not surprisingly, our conversation should turn to Sabah’s run-down and/or lack of infrastructures. What surprised me were [a] his in-depth knowledge of Sabah’s serious problems in infrastructures, [b] his heightened awareness/concern of their acute/adverse economic impacts on Sabah’s economy and [c] his sense of urgency in seeking solutions. [d] Most comforting is Bung Moktar’s view that the solutions to our perennial infrastructural headaches are not to be found in politics, rather in leadership, management, finance and implementation strategy. His view is refreshing. The sort of politics in Sabah in the past has not been conducive as is evidenced by the 30 years plus of very poor and inadequate infrastructures
