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.

Robert also received membership forms on Thursday from the second group comprising 17 people led by Joseph Billy Karimpot of Kampung Tohan Baru in Apin-Apin.

Robert, who is also the Vice President of StarSabah, said they are joining in the party after realising that leaders of their previous party had abandoned their welfare.

He said their decision to join StarSabah was also of their own will as they saw the struggles of party leaders who are serious in demanding and defending the rights of the people of the state.

“At the same time, they see that Dr Jeffrey Kitingan continues to voice the interests of the people in the state especially the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) issue,” he said.

Robert, who is also Bingkor Assemblyman, said that in recent years many people from around the state have joined StarSabah, which they consider to be a local party that has the interests of the people and state its priority.

He said many also joined the party because they were frustrated with the state government’s inconsistency in protecting the welfare of the people, especially the distribution of aid that was not comprehensive during the Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO) and Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).
