“I have once said that Sabah is Barisan Nasional’s fixed deposit. To me, Sabah is still BN’s fixed deposit,” he said
He said the state had a lot of potential “and we (BN) must ensure that Sabah gets a balanced development.. We (BN) has also not forgotten the deeds of the people to BN,” he said.
Najib said that since he assumed the post of prime minister six years ago, he had approved a lot of allocations and big projects in the state as he really wanted the landscape of Sabah to continue changing.
“I will be visiting Sabah more, especially the rural areas. The people in the rural areas are really loyal to UMNO and BN. Of course the government which they (rural folks) support will continue looking out for them,” he said.
Najib also said he was impressed with the abilities of the leaders chosen from among the Sabah communities. “There are people who want to weaken BN’s ‘fixed deposit’. But we have many warriors (leaders from Sabah) who are brave, principled and sturdy,” he said.
He commended, among others, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman as one who was really determined to fulfill the needs of the people in the state; federal housing minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan, whom he described as an intellectual speaker, and Sabah Speaker Salleh Said Keruak, who he said had a sharp mind and was not afraid to voice out his thoughts.
Najib also said he was impressed with Pandikar Amin Mulia as the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat.
