“There is nothing more important than to turn Sarawak into a fully developed state because this was the wish and hope of our leaders when they joined Malaysia.
“I was one of the politicians then and I cannot forget the wish of the people who had hoped to improve their living standard through independence.
“Because of that, up to now, I am still looking for ways to develop the state,” the 74-year-old told community leaders here yesterday.
Urging these grassroots leaders to re-examine the struggle of the current BN leaders, he advised them not to focus on issues that would make them angry, frustrated and disappointed.
“Don’t get distracted from the state’s main struggle… if we want Sarawak to progress further we must look at the issues that can develop the people.
“We all know that the state has already achieved so much but we should not be satisfied with what we have,” he said.
Consistent focus
Taib said in the early days people had left everything to fate but the situation was different now.
People, he said, should understand that they can achieve many sucesses through their own efforts.
“But this, however, cannot be be achieved by the opposition because they never thought about developing the country.
“All they have been thinking about is how to take over the government unlike the BN government.
“In the BN, our focus is still on developing the state and nation.
“We are never satisfied with what we have got… We know that there is still a lot more to be done to change the lives of the rakyat for the better,” he said. - FMT
