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.

To spur the state’s development, Hajiji pointed the government’s Halatuju Sabah Maju Jaya roadmap which identified human capital as a key factor with increased focus on the knowledge and skills development. The Halatuju Sabah Maju Jaya Plan (2021-2025) is an initiative of the state government to initiate the state’s economic recovery that has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The state-level Al Quran Recital and Hafazan (Memorisation) competition culminated with Imam Mohd Ayub Maidi, 33 and university student Nadhirah Syazwani Sapari being adjudged winners for the Qari and Qariah contest. Both received their prizes from Head of State, Tun Juhar Mahiruddin. Hajiji also underlined the importance of unity among Sabah’s diverse peoples that forms the rich multicultural fabric and prevailing peace and harmony in the state. “Let us learn to live together by promoting understanding and accepting each other’s differences in various aspects,” he said.

Highlighting such virtues can be further achieved by increasing understanding of the ‘Fiqh Sabahi’ concept of the Sunnah Wal Jamaah which is the main Islamic teaching practised in the country.

Among those who attended the event included State Special Tasks Minister, Datuk Haji Ariffin Arif.
