SOOK: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the GRS-PH Plus government has not only planned but also implemented numerous initiatives to drive economic development and improve the people’s welfare.

He dismissed opposition claims that the government has failed to bring development, citing education aid schemes such as Budi, Bakti, Baik, GRS-Subfly, and Sentosa among 13 initiatives supporting students from B40 families.

Among other efforts, Hajiji highlighted the construction of 3,000 Rumah Mesra SMJ units across all constituencies, the new Sentuhan Kasih Rakyat (Syukur) cash aid programme, and major water, electricity, and infrastructure projects underway across the state.

He said four out of 16 Pan Borneo Highway Phase 1A packages have been completed, alongside key projects in Sook, including tarred roads, new schools, upgraded health clinics, and housing assistance benefiting hundreds of residents.

Hajiji stressed that more developments are planned for Sook, including a sports complex, a new hospital, a district police station, and expanded health facilities, reaffirming the government’s commitment to advancing Sabah’s equitable progress.

He made these remarks during the launch ceremony for Sook’s upgrade to full district status on Monday.
