Hajiji: No one can break Sabah as long as people remain united

 

There are no forces with ill intent that can break Sabah as long as Sabahans remain united, said Chief Minister Hajiji Noor.

As the chief minister, Hajiji also said he was committed to seeing Sabah remain united, prosperous and inclusive, especially in the coming year.

“We are strong only when we are united. When we are united, we will be able to withstand any attempt to undermine stability and ensure development can proceed unhindered,” he said in his New Year 2024 message today.

Hajiji said he was touched and grateful to the people and all like-minded supporters who have stood by the government, believing in its sincerity to do what is best for Sabah.

“Let us put politics aside and discard divisiveness that will only pull us apart.

We must forge forward into the new year with resolve, united in diversity, and committed to doing good in accordance with the mandate given to us by the rakyat,” he said.

He added that with the people’s support, the state government had made good strides in progressing its development plan under the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ), and despite the challenges, it has been steadfast in implementing the SMJ agenda and staying on course to see it through.

Hajiji said the recently passed Budget 2024 amounting to RM5.701 billion, was a testament to the state government’s commitment to drive economic growth and development in Sabah.

“Our commitment to growth remains unwavering.

“We have set our sights on the many opportunities the state can leverage in all sectors.

“We will continue to build on our successes and pursue new investment opportunities, to create economic spin-offs and create jobs for the people,” he said.

However, Hajiji said that all these successes and plans will account for nothing without the combined efforts and commitment of all, as well as a conducive environment to pursue the development goals.
