Luqman's musings

  Despite frequent discussions on transparency and integrity by prominent leaders such as Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji, Governor Tun Musa Aman, and the Sultans of Perak and Pahang in newspapers and social media, the actions of some civil servants and heads of statutory bodies in Sabah appear to fall short of these principles. Since 2022, I have highlighted several instances on my blog that contradict the Chief Minister’s repeated calls for transparency and accountability. Below are a few examples:

  Here is something I learned recently. Lembaga Jurukur Sabah is not under the jurisdiction of the Sabah Integrity Department. Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK), despite not being classified as civil servants, is under the jurisdiction of the Sabah Integrity Department. The following is what I dug up from the internet and would like to share with my readers. As I have mentioned several times before: Huo dao lao xue dao lao which when translated means 'One is never too old to learn'.   While DBKK employees are not classified as federal or state civil servants, they are public sector employees working for a statutory body established by the state government.
