“We are trying to fulfil the social contract between the regions that had been agreed by the country’s pioneers under MA63,” he said.
Hajiji stressed that in 58 years since the formation of Malaysia, the State Government’s intention was to see the people and State given significant recognition in bringing Malaysia forward to build a more prosperous, peaceful, developed and secure country.
Meanwhile, he said the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS)-led State Government greatly appreciated the commitment to place MA63 as one of the main thrusts in the recent bi-partisan cooperation through the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed at the Federal level.
