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. Liyana Aqilah Abd. Latip (Putatan, Sabah) (4th year student of E&E Engineering)
