His prudent handling of the State's finance has made Sabah the best financially managed state government in Malaysia and this had been recognised by the Auditor General and other global rating agencies. Faez also credited Najib for his transformation initiatives and his various moves to empower the youth. This has increased support for Barisan Nasional among the younger generation. Ranau Wanita Chief Datuk Amisah Yassin, in seconding the motion, said the Prime Minister had earned the support of ordinary Malaysians with his people-friendly policies and caring attitude. "It is rare to find a very hardworking Prime Minister whose motivation to work hard is to improve the future of ordinary Malaysians, like farmers, fishermen, taxi drivers and other low-income earners," she said.

At the State level, Musa as the Chief Minister, had done an excellent job leading both the Government and Umno, she said, adding that Sabah had gone through tremendous development under him which culminated in the State's success to attract the highest foreign investment among all the States in 2011.

"It has beaten both Selangor and Penang," said Amisah. "The current standing of the State Financial Reserve of RM3 billion is a further testament of good financial management by the State government under the leadership of Musa," she said. Officiating at the Delegates meeting, Ranau Umno Chief, Datuk Masidi Manjun reminded Umno members to be wary of opposition tactics of spreading half truths, lies and downright slander. "There is a difference between myth (dongeng) and fact," he said, adding that the people should use their wisdom and common sense to distinguish between the two. "Rumour-mongering has become a political tool of some of them in their desperation to attract the attention of the people. In fact some would readily hurl abuses and use other uncouth languages against government leaders just to be 'at par' with their fellow members in West Malaysia," said Masidi.Masidi who is also State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister reminded Umno leaders and members here to continue to uphold the Dusunic tradition of 'beradat', humility, mutual respect and tolerance in the face of aggressive politicking by some opposition leaders. "How we conduct ourselves as political leaders reflects our own upbringing and level of self respect. It defines character and leadership quality in us," he said. Umno is the biggest BN component party in Ranau with 20,650 members in 212 branches. Slightly over half the total voters in the Ranau Parliamentary constituency are registered Umno members, nearly all Dusuns.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
