KOTA KINABALU: Private sector and civil society participation remain vital to the success of Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 2.0, said Assistant Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan.

Speaking in the State Assembly, he said domestic investors have been highly engaged, contributing to areas like human capital and poverty reduction. He highlighted joint agriculture projects in Beaufort as examples of economic and social impact.

Nizam said digitalisation and green technology will be intensified in SMJ 2.0, guided by SIREM 2040, to boost efficiency and sustainability. He also emphasised inclusive public participation through town halls and dialogues as key to policy success.

He added that SMJ 1.0 has put Sabah on the right path, a view shared by professionals and independent observers, and called for continued public support.
