Privatisation Projects
One special project that is iconic of the unfairness of privatisation projects resulting in the loss of livelihood of the ordinary folks is the highway maintenance contract farmed out to a sole concessionaire for the whole state for a twenty years period.
The normal saying goes that ; 'even the grass cutting in this town is taken by people from Kuching'. Meaning to say , contractors who depended on their livelihood as small time grass cutting hands are now being abandoned for the big conglomerate from Kuching.
For a while , the silent majority remains mum.
