Hajiji: Sabah allocates nearly RM1bil for agriculture, industry, tourism
KENINGAU: The Sabah government has allocated nearly RM1 billion for the development of the agriculture, industry and tourism sectors, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
In the Keningau area, Sabah's Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor announced that the state government has allocated nearly RM1 billion for the development of agriculture, industry, and tourism sectors. These sectors continue to play a significant role in Sabah's economic growth this year. Different districts in the state have varying strengths, with some areas excelling in agriculture, others in tourism potential, and others in marine resources or industry and trade. Identifying and developing these strengths is crucial for the state's development.
Hajiji emphasized that the government's task is to convert this potential into investment opportunities, jobs, and increased income for the people. He reiterated that rural development will remain a priority for the state government, focusing on basic amenities like roads, water, and electricity supply, as well as housing, education, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and community economic development.
Narrowing the development gap between urban and rural areas is a key objective for the government. Additionally, the state will continue to enhance digitalisation in public service delivery.
