Jeffery Boudi, Spokesman for former SFI employees.
*The situation at SFI is still the same, even worse*
More than 600 employees of Sabah Forest Industry have been laid off following the bankruptcy of SFI approximately 11 months ago. SFI is a subsidiary of the Sabah state government. The last salary received by these workers was in May 2020 when Chief Minister Shafie Apdal was still in power. But since the GRS government led by Hajiji Nor ruled, every complaint from former SFI employees was ignored.
These former workers were evicted from their residential quarters. The water and electricity supply to the residence was cut off. The situation becomes worse during this month of fasting. We have appealed to the chief minister of Sabah.
Recently Jeffrery also appealed to PMX Anwar Ibrahim. But until now, he said their pleas have been ignored. In conjunction with the current parliamentary session, they appeal to all YBs from Sabah to speak on their behalf, but only the former Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal is willing to speak up and meet with them.
Jeffrery Baudi said that, they appeal to the government to be humane and take care of their welfare. Moreover, many of the former SFI employees are old and unable to work anymore. They appeal for humanitarian aid and need free accommodation.
Our fate is the same as the fate of the Palestinian people - Jeffery Baudi said. Jeffery is asking for help from the public by contacting him at 011-3663 3628. He hopes that an RFS representative will visit and see for himself the condition of this former SFI employee.
