KOTA KINABALU (July 31): The State Government has welcomed the development programmes and funding allocations for Sabah under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which are strongly aligned with the state’s development blueprint, the Halatuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ).
“This also clearly reflects federal support for Sabah under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor.
He expressed his satisfaction that several high-impact projects proposed by the State Government had been included in the 13MP. These include the expansion of critical utilities such as water supply, sewerage systems, and power transmission, as well as strategic infrastructure projects involving roads, flood mitigation and healthcare, along with the establishment of a Blue Economy Hub.
Hajiji also noted that the Federal Government will prioritise the Sabah-Sarawak-Kalimantan road network, which complements the relocation of Indonesia’s capital to Nusantara in East Kalimantan.
Other key focus areas include intensive poverty alleviation initiatives, support for digital transformation, and strengthening the resilience of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
“The present State Government has charted a plan to ensure Sabah continues to progress,” he said.
