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.

“This includes carrying out various other developments in this area, especially village roads that the villagers desperately need,” he said.

Ewon, who is also Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister, said this while speaking at the “Ramah Mesra” Ceremony in conjunction with the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year Celebration, at the Kadamaian Square Open Hall, here, Friday.

The previous State Government had channelled an allocation of RM2 million for Phase One and Two of the Tamu Pekan Taginambur development. The first phase involved the construction of the Kadamaian Square Hall and various other facilities. Phase two involved the construction of two four-room rest houses, a cafeteria, concrete construction of the river bank along the market and improvements to the Kadamaian Square Hall facilities.

Ewon, who is also Penampang MP, said starting this year, said he would facilitate special allocations from his provisions as Kadamaian Assemblyman and continue helping churches in Kadamaian. “Previously, I channelled an allocation of RM100,000 through the ‘Sentuhan Kasih’ programme to the Kadamaian Council of Churches and I will continue the same contribution this year.

“I hope this contribution can help reduce the financial burden of the church in implementing church development programmes,” he said.
