Sabah revenue hits RM6.97 billion: Hajiji says GRS State Government may see full term

Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

"For Pairin, it is a common knowledge for every Sabahan that the PBS government was overthrown in 1994 following the influx of illegal immigrants who ended up being registered as voters.

"Pairin has repeatedly called for the setting up of RCI to investigate the issue, but now the findings of the said RCI report only concluded that the illegal immigrant project probably existed, which is obviously contradicting the public's perception.

"It is of utmost importance for Pairin to draft his own Terms of Reference (TOR) for his RCI working committee. DAP Sabah invites him to attend the forum to share his views and formulate the TOR together," said Chan, who is also Sri Tanjung Assemblyman.

He said Abdul Rahman would have the chance to communicate face to face with the public and assess their opinions on his statements.
