NO STRESS, NO WORRIES: YB JENIFER LASIMBANG

ON RECENT MEDIA BACKLASH ABOUT PARENTS ASKING JOBS FOR THEIR UNEMPLOYED GRADUATE CHILDREN

I am not stressed at all by all the brickbats, attacks and criticism resulting from my latest comments on facebook about parents calling me for jobs for their unemployed graduate children, said Assemblywoman for Moyog Jenifer Lasimbang. 
The fact is that I have advised all of them to register their names on a job site to increase their chances of getting a job based on their qualifications.  Instead some parents say their children do not know how to enter the website. When ask what degree their children have, the answer included degree in computer science!  Maybe they want the jobs brought to them on a plate without applications and interviews, she said.
A few months after we formed the new government,  MP Darrel Leiking and I opened a job fair at KDCA hall where more than 3000 jobs of all kinds were being offered by over 30 companies opening booths.  There were not many parents with their unemployed graduated children coming to look for jobs then, she said.
Instead a horde of reporters from Malaya came and were more interested to ask MP Darrel if he deserved his datukship, rather than talking about jobs.
 Similarly, those who have attacked me on facebook are mostly cybertroopers from Malaya, she said.

However, these apparent negative publicity instead brought positive results when some potential employers rang my office to inquire about the list of these graduates, she said.

As for the opposition leaders who have strongly criticised me in all media, they should instead show how many jobs they have given to the graduates during the 30 years they were running the government, she concluded.   by Sugatman.
