KOTA KINABALU: The State Government has welcomed the development programmes and funding for Sabah under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which are closely aligned with its Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development blueprint.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the initiatives reflect continued federal support for Sabah under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He expressed appreciation that several high-impact proposals submitted by the State had been included in the plan.

These include the expansion of essential utilities, strategic infrastructure, flood mitigation, healthcare access, and the creation of a Blue Economy Hub.

The 13MP will also prioritise the Sabah-Sarawak-Kalimantan road network and introduce targeted efforts to tackle poverty, support digitalisation, and strengthen MSMEs.
