Allowance cuts unfair to teachers
Published on: Sunday, August 03, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 03, 2025 By: Abbey Junior Text Size: Warisan Youth Chief Terence Au KUDAT: Parti Warisan has raised concerns over the sudden pay cuts affecting teachers in Sabah, blaming a new policy that calculates travel allowances based on a maximum straight-line distance of 25km instead of the actual routes taken by teachers to reach their schools. Warisan Youth Chief Terence Au said the issue goes beyond technical adjustments and touches on the fairness, dignity and welfare of educators, especially those serving in rural areas. 'This is not just a technical issue. It is about justice, dignity, and the wellbeing of our teachers, who are the backbone of Sabah's development,' he said in a statement. Au said this was precisely why Warisan, during its administration, had established the Sabah Ministry of Education and Innovation under then chief minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal.

Dilutes the importance of September 16
Published on: Sunday, August 03, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 03, 2025 Text Size: September 16 is history. September 15 is not. To the people outside Sabah and Sarawak, they may get confused about which day was it that Sabah and Sarawak became part of Malaysia. The DE carried a front page report on July 25 which read that Sabah leaders were not amused as businesses fume with regards to the additional holiday on the eve of Malaysia Day on 16 September. Aside from how the business community feels, in my opinion this declaration of a public holiday on September 15 has done a great injustice to Sabah and Sarawak. Simply put, it has diluted the significance of September 16 and its meaning to the people of Sabah and Sarawak. September 16 is history. September 15 is not. To the people outside Sabah and Sarawak, they may get confused about which day was it that Sabah and Sarawak became part of Malaysia. History buffs will not be confused but what about our fellow Malaysians who do not have an inkling about the formation of Malaysia as it is not even included in school history books except in passing? Now with this declaration of September 15 being a public holiday, can you blame people for thinking that Malaysia Day is celebrated over two days? Let's be honest about this. Declaring a public holiday on September 15 is a benefit to those in Malaya who want to 'Balik Kampong' because September 15 falls on a Monday. That gives you a break from Saturday 13th - Tuesday 16th. Enough time for thousands in Malaya to 'Balik Kampong' and enjoy themselves. But what about us in Sabah and Sarawak ? You have just diluted a sacred day, a day in history to mark the birth of Malaysia to just another day in the September calendar of events! This isn't right. It never will be. You don't declare August 30 a public holiday but you do so on September 15? Why?

Anti-bullying must start at home: Redonah
Published on: Sunday, August 03, 2025 Published on: Sun, Aug 03, 2025 By: Patimang Abdul Ghani Text Size: Redonah (centre) observing the students' activities at the school during the Family Day event. KOTA MARUDU: There should be no excuse for bullying, especially in schools and institutions of higher learning, said Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, Datuk Redonah Bahanda. She said the issue cannot be taken lightly, as some victims have committed suicide and even murdered. 'As a mother, in our country, unlike some others with caste systems, we are all equal. There should be no concept of 'who you are' or 'whose child you are.' This is unacceptable.' 'Power isn't meant to oppress anyone. The awareness and education to prevent bullying need to start at home, with parents making sure their kids understand what bullying is, how to avoid bullying others, and how to stay safe from being bullied.' 'All parties must also play a role in working together to ensure that bullying does not occur, strive to create a caring and attentive environment, and report to the authorities if any bullying is observed, especially in schools,' she said at the PIBG Family Day 2025 event at SK Kota Marudi II. 'Every time I visit schools, whether primary, secondary, or institutions of higher learning, I remind them about bullying cases. Early awareness, especially among students and our children, must begin at home.' 'I teach my child to speak up and report any signs, whether words or anything else, even the smallest matters. Bullying often begins with something small that is left unaddressed.' Redonah also reminded parents to focus on religious teaching, teach their kids to be polite, value their friends, and grow up with good values like kindness and care. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
