Ask the Rakyat to state their Priorities

In my previous post, I listed the various critical areas that an incoming Sabah Government need to do during its first 100 days.

Such a list is long and some require more time than just 100 days. Further, each State or Federal constituency have their own needs & priorities.

Thus, how does a Government to decide which priorities are needed for each constituency? Ask the people, whom the Government is to serve.

A credible political party would have a desk at every polling station. Use this desk to seek the "advice" of voters, as they come in or when they are leaving.

Prepare a simple survey sheet with a list of possible priorities. Each voter is then asked which, he/she thinks, are their TOP THREE PRIORITIES for their constituency that they wish to see implemented.

The list could look like this:-

1. Educational facilities - preschool/primary/secondary/apprenticeship/university
2. Health care - clinic/hospital/mobile clinic/dental clinic
3. Clean water supply
4. Electricity supply
5. Better/more roads between ............ and ............
6. A public transport system
7. Market
8. Permanent Police presence
9. Mobile Phone/Data tower
10. TV/Radio reception
12. Bridges at ..................
13. Market building/Communal Cold Storage facility
14. Agricultural canals
15. Other .........................

Should the party win this constituency, you will know exactly their expectations from their representative (ADUN or MP).
