Hajiji with Ranau elected representatives and the people at the ground-breaking ceremony.
RANAU: Chief Minister and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) President, Datuk Seri Haji Hajiji Haji Noor reiterated that the GRS Supreme council has agreed to maintain the present formula of cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the upcoming State election.
He said history has shown that a state government needs to have a strong relationship with the Federal Government.
“We want strong ties with the Federal Government. We want stability and we hope the people will understand that we are doing the best for them. To bring prosperity to them,” he said this during the ground-breaking ceremony for the Paginatan new township held at the Nunuk Ragang Memorial open-air hall here today.
The Chief Minister said the present GRS-PH State Government’s track record of bringing progress to Sabah has been proven.
“We have more than 400 initiatives under the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya development agenda, and about 94 per cent of them have already been implemented,” he said.
Hajiji said this was contrary to the opposition’s claim, which he said was intended to pull wool over the peoples’ eyes.
He said the GRS-PH Government had approved numerous assistance programmes for the state’s education development and people’s prosperity, which had never been done by other state governments before.
“This year alone, we are giving monthly assistance of RM300 to nearly 100,000 hardcore poor and this initiative will be continued if the people returned the mandate to GRS-PH in the coming election,” he said.
He also said that the GRS-PH State Government had succeeded in getting greater participation in the oil and gas sector through the historic signing of the Commercial Collaborative Agreement (CCA) with Petronas in 2021.
