【FORUM：SUARA KOMUNITI】
Paul Raja, lawyer activist
*Demanding Better: Changing GPS for a Government That Serves the People*
Paul Raja compared the colonial administration with the current BN/GPS administration. During the colonial era, the DO (District Officer) and his entourage worked efficiently, focusing on providing services to the people. They moved from one longhouse to another, making entries in logbooks. They registered residents who did not yet have an identity card, birth certificate, or special document. They also recorded data on individual land ownership, village boundaries, income levels, number of children, and overall population. This allowed them to identify villagers who were skilled and had the potential to lead a village or community. The DO visited all the longhouses along the river, up the mountain to Bario, without exception. In simple terms, the colonial administration provided services to the people.
However, the BN/GPS administration only administers and does not take serious efforts to serve the people. DOs and government employees no longer provide services but only administer, waiting in the office and handling the affairs that are presented to them. The question is why the attitude of the government changed from providing services to merely administering. The answer is that absolute power corrupts absolutely. BN/GPS, which was given full power for decades, became arrogant and corrupt. People should not give excessive power to any political party, because excessive power makes the government unafraid of being rejected or replaced by other political parties. I think we have no choice but to change the GPS to get back a government that will earnestly serve the people.
