3 sektor utama diperuntuk hampir RM1 bilion tahun ini, kata Hajiji

In a significant move for the upcoming year, the government of Sabah has allocated nearly RM1 billion for the development of three key sectors: agriculture, industry, and tourism. Chief Minister Hajiji Noor called on every district official to identify economic potential within their respective regions and translate it into investment opportunities, employment, and increased citizen earnings.

Sabah boasts marine resources, biodiversity, and extensive coastal areas, all of which can be harnessed for new economic opportunities and improved citizen earnings. The state government has allocated RM12.02 billion for 1,173 programs and projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan, the highest in Sabah's budget history. This includes 241 projects to connect regions and 932 new projects.

However, with greater funding comes greater responsibility to ensure successful execution. The Chief Minister urged district officials to pay serious attention to project implementation and ongoing monitoring. Any issues should be identified early, and delays or inefficiencies need appropriate action. Ultimately, district officials and small districts must also change their approach to development success, focusing not just on the number of approved projects.
