Kota Kinabalu: Claims by the opposition that the Sabah government, led by Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), has failed are baseless, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. The GRS chairman emphasized that the state government has achieved significant progress, as evidenced by the notable increase in state revenue since taking office.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Hajiji highlighted key achievements, including securing essential agreements with PETRONAS. In the education sector, the government increased financial aid for Sabah students, extending support from Form Five and Form Six up to university level. He asserted that the GRS-PH administration has effectively governed, contrary to the opposition’s claims, as stated at the ‘Breaking of fast with the Chief Minister’ event.

To ensure comprehensive development, the state government introduced the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) roadmap, focusing on economic growth and the well-being of the people. Hajiji urged the public to disregard baseless accusations and slander from the opposition, whom he accused of making empty statements without taking action.

He reiterated the GRS-PH-led government’s commitment to Sabah’s progress, ensuring that all communities benefit fairly and equitably from the state’s development. Speaking to reporters, he expressed confidence that the current administration has been doing its best to develop Sabah and uplift its people.

Hajiji hopes for continued public support in driving economic growth and prosperity in the upcoming Sabah state election. Commenting on Sukau, which currently holds the status of a sub-district, he expressed optimism for accelerated growth, particularly in its thriving tourism sector, under the new Sub-District Office administration.
