  "account": "Kota Kinabalu - The return of federal government proceeds to the people of Sabah, declared Chief Minister Hajiji Noor during his address at the 32nd Upko Anniversary Meeting and 17th Triennial Representative Conference. The enhanced interim special allowance of RM1.5 billion, introduced this year, will be fully utilized for constructing more high-speed roads, concrete bridges, and improving water and electricity supply across Sabah. \"We appeal to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's decision to increase these interim payments, and we will use the proceeds to focus on development agendas and benefit the people of Sabah, like constructing more Sabah Maju Jaya Homes and the People Care Programme,\" Noor stated. On June 12, Sabah's government received RM600 million from the RM1.5 billion interim special allowance distributed by the federal government. Meanwhile, Noor highlighted that the state government continues to prioritize financial performance and increasing revenue, aiming to maintain the annual revenue target of RM7 billion since 2022 and expecting it to rise to RM8 billion this year. Despite facing both domestic and global challenges, Sabah's economic resilience continues to strengthen, positioning the state as a strategic investment destination.",
