There are no IT Professionals in Borneo
Don’t you just hate it when there are people who thinks Malaysia is made up of only the peninsular (you know, the one that looks like a strangled cock). Look at the following form :
That’s the form from ZDNet Asia’s section to see your salary benchmark against other IT professionals. They left out Sabah and Sarawak.
It’s the same irritation when I hear a local or foreign artist doing a tour of Malaysia but listed states are only from Perlis to Johor. Sheessh. Next time call it “Tour of Malaya” la…

Some folks here in Semenanjung Malaysia even asked me, “..so why did you decide to come all the way from Sabah to Malaysia to work? I was like huh??

well, maybe because the it industry here is just not as developed, if not none

I am really interested to know the IT industry in Sabah too. Plan to go back there for good but afraid the market is not what I expected.

sunsuron: need to be very brave to open an IT business. network is key.
i’ll try to check a friend of mine if he already started his IT company.

Nevertheless, I like that idea and why not. As for now, I want to know what other people have achieved and most important, their mistakes in the past.
To open an IT company in Sabah is like way beyond my wildest dream

many malayas have never consider sabah @ sarawak true malaysian states… and when their brand of politics invaded us,buduh…ramai pi sokong dorang pula…just like supporting the kempetai during ww2.
now about IT…don’t tell me that puny perlis has more to offer! piii laaa….

now about those stoopids wm who do to u…i think they’re more occupied about how to get lots of money and political power than learn geography & history…that’s one reason our u’s are of low standard! gerammmmnyaa….

really? is there a negara sabah? sorry, i was following the comment, just couldn contain myself… ha ha, but i think they have to stamp their passport everytime entering the state makes them think sabah is a negara
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:22 am
Yup Clement, that is exactly what they think of ‘negara’ sabah and ‘negara’ sarawak…

Ohhh…but of course it was negara Sabah + Sarawak + Persekutuan Tanah Melayu = Malaysia. After that it was then 14 negeri - 1negeri (singapore) = Malaysia. how i wish our respectful rights is that of 1 of 3 instead of 1 of 13..
