Kota kinabalu: Development programmes and allocations for Sabah under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) clearly reflect the federal government’s continued support for the state government, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. He stated that the development programmes and allocations under 13MP are also aligned with the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Development Plan.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Hajiji expressed satisfaction that several high-impact projects proposed by the state government were included in 13MP. These projects encompass the expansion of critical utilities such as water and sewerage, roads, flood mitigation, healthcare, and the Blue Economy hub.

When tabling 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the government’s focus on positioning Sabah and Sarawak as competitive national sustainable energy hubs at the regional level under the 13MP.
