What a touching story. I know how hard it is for teachers who sent to the deep rural area in Sarawak like Ulu Baram. With no paved road access and only the timber road access, the time of reaching the place can take up to few hours riding on a wavy and slippery road with only 4 wheel drive can be used, it is never be a comfortable experience. The last time I went to Ulu Baram couple of year back, we had to travel for 10 hours from Miri. Imagine when they reach the place, the facilities (school) is not even conveniently provided but still they try their best to give the best education to the students there, that's the true spirit of an educator. Sometimes I feel sad when some teachers from Peninsular sent to rural area particularly in Sarawak and they can't even stand a month there. One teacher who suppose to teach in the school near my working place didn't even turn up to report for duty whereas that place is only about 4 or 5 hours from Kuching by CAR on paved road and 45 minutes by BOAT.

I didn't blame anybody but whether it is 200km into the rural or 10km from shopping complex, life as a teacher (I sincerely admit) is never an easy things, especially when they have to struggle to give their best with limited facilities and resources (like in rural area) while at the same time they have also try to adapt to the situation to live their life. Some people said as a teacher is the most relax work, with only half day working and a lot of school holiday in a year. For me, they deserve it, even we all deserve what offered in our job although most of the time we always seek for the better.

Government has to give more attention to the problems that those teachers in rural area faced. They should be provided with better facilities as they came all they way from far to provide their services to the rural students. Maybe not the best that can be provided but at least things were improved and those rural school is not left out. Why built a school in rural area and didn't improve them? It's just like planting a flower and leave it like that without giving water and fertilizer.

Anyway, I hope from this article, it will give higher motivational boast to all teachers and for those teachers who persevere in their difficult teaching life, I give salute to you all, enormous respects. And to all teacher, thanks for being the educator of our generations, teach the best you all can, don't be like some of those mosquitoes-catching teachers who thinks they had done what they should but in the end of the day their student is not well equip to live their life. Keep up the good works teachers and share this article with other teachers for motivational boast. Salute.....
