The Sabah chief minister said the first among the 13 was to empower the state economy and the people of Sabah through agriculture, industrialisation and tourism, while the second is aimed at empowering energy resources, including a takeover of the management of Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd while also exploring more new energy sources or renewable energy.
As for the third thrust, Hajiji said continued efforts to ensure all claims pertaining to the rights of Sabah and its people based on the Federal Constitution and the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) will be taken while the fourth is to ensure the Federal government improves the level of security and education facilities by upgrading dilapidated schools in Sabah as well as health facilities.
Among the other thrusts include focus being given on the development of women, family and communities; encouraging the participation of youths in the country’s development; and empowering Sabah's public service administration, he added.
