Kota Kinabalu: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today paid a courtesy call on Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Musa Aman at Istana Seri Kinabalu, Sunday.
Anwar arrived at the palace at around 11am, shortly after the special aircraft carrying him landed at Terminal Two of Kota Kinabalu International Airport at 10.35am to begin a one-day working visit to the state. He signed the guest book before holding a four-eyed meeting with Musa in the Special Visitors’ Hall.
This was Anwar’s first courtesy call on Musa since his appointment as the new Sabah Governor in January.
Anwar said he did not discuss the possible dissolution of the Sabah Legislative Assembly during his meeting.
He said the decision rests solely with the Governor and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
“The meeting focused primarily on Sabah’s development and strengthening cooperation between the state and federal governments,” he said.
Anwar said the discussions covered various sectors, including oil, and took into account input from state leaders with the aim of addressing key concerns and identifying areas for improvement.
The half-hour meeting concluded with a luncheon in the palace’s dining hall.
After the meeting at Istana Seri Kinabalu, Anwar proceeded to Tawau to officiate the Closing Ceremony of the Sabah Madani Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 at Dataran Majlis Perbandaran Tawau.
Sabah Speaker Datuk Seri Kadzim Yahya had been reported as saying that the five-year term of the current state assembly will expire on November 11.
