KOTA KINABALU: Sabah chief minister Hajiji Noor took a swipe at Warisan president Shafie Apdal whom he said had failed to do anything for Kota Marudu during his two-year stint as chief minister.
He said even prior to that, Shafie had nothing to show for in the constituency when he could have done so much more as he was the federal rural development minister for many years.
“He talks like he knows everything, but what did he do for Kota Marudu when he was the chief minister?
“There’s not even a public toilet there. He asked me what have I done? I want to ask him back — what has he done in Semporna?
“He could not even handle the resettling of victims after some houses were razed in Kampung Bangau-Bangau there.
“Only when the GRS-BN government took over was RM8.5 million given for the settlement.
“Don’t tell lies. I don’t know how to talk like that. I only talk using facts,” he said.
Hajiji was speaking while campaigning for GRS candidate Maximus Ongkili at the residence of Bersatu Sabah deputy secretary-general Maijol Mahap in Kota Marudu today.
In his speech, Hajiji also said Ongkili’s leadership was still very much needed, especially in raising Sabah’s needs at the federal level.
He said Ongkili, who is Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president, had been consistent and vociferous in fighting for Sabah rights.
“I need him to assist in voicing out Sabah’s demands to the federal government.
“His strong voice and persistence are still very much needed, particularly in demanding our rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63),” he said.
Hajiji also described PBS’ decision to use the GRS symbol this time around as a huge sacrifice.
“This means a lot to me … That is why I want the people in Kota Marudu to vote for Ongkili,” he said.
GRS, which consists of Bersatu, PBS, Star, SAPP and Usno, together with Barisan Nasional, had pledged to do its level best to continue bringing development to Sabah, he said. - FMT
