SABAH POLLS | Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said Sabah needs a state government that is capable of helping to ease the people’s burden in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said in this regard, the people of Sabah should choose a government that is aligned with the Perikatan Nasional (PN)-led federal administration, which has proven itself in helping the people when the country was grappling with the impact of the coronavirus.
“Sabah’s economy needs to recover fast. I’m not saying Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal has not given anything, but it is not enough because there is no cooperation with the federal government,” he said.
The PN chairperson said this at a gathering with the people in Kota Marudu today, which was also attended by Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Ronald Kiandee and the PN candidate for the Bandau seat, Wetrom Bahanda.
Sabah will go to the polls on Sept 26.
Muhyiddin hoped that no one would try to belittle federal assistance as it is very much needed by the people.
“Don’t say I’m colonising Sabah... there are also some who alleged I’m not doing anything. I have been running the government for only seven months, and the PN government has proven to be effective and functional.
"The World Health Organisation has also acknowledged Malaysia as among the best in fighting Covid-19. Despite this short period, the PN government has shown its experience and capability in tackling this challenge (pandemic), which had never been experienced by the world before.
"I can’t promise you the moon and the stars because I’m not God, but I promise to help revive the economy of the people and country,” he added.
Therefore, he urged PN supporters and party machinery to work together and help explain to the people the government’s efforts to combat Covid-19.
