Jeffery Baudi, Resident Representative of SFI Housing Park
*Lack of Awareness or Action? Sabah Chief Minister Faces Backlash Over SFI Workers' Concerns*
Jeff expressed his disappointment with the response of Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor regarding the welfare issues of SFI workers discussed on the third day of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly. When questioned by the president of the Warisan party and opposition leader in the Sabah State Assembly, Shafie Afdal, Hajiji stated that he was not very familiar with the issues faced by SFI and would provide a written response. How can a chief minister still not know and not take action when the problems faced by SFI workers have been ongoing for almost a year? "If you don't know, we invite you to come and visit and see our situation for yourself," said Jeffery Baudi.
In his response during the State Assembly session, Hajiji also stated that the SFI workers who had been terminated had already been re-employed. Jeffery stated that less than 1% of the former workers who were terminated and are still residing in SFI housing have been re-employed. Instead, the SFI management has hired external workers as lorry drivers, security guards, and acacia wood cutters, and we don't know where they are from. In a press conference today, we urge Hajiji to visit and see our situation for himself. After that, make an immediate decision. If there is no decision, pay us 5 months' salary plus compensation—that's our demand," said Jeffery Baudi.
