KOTA KINABALU: THE state government aims to continue improving and
uplifting the quality of life of the people, said Chief Minister Datuk
Seri Musa Aman.
And this can only be done by working closely with the Federal
Government, he added in his public message in conjunction with the 55th
Merdeka Day celebration.
He said that while Sabah had seen tremendous growth in economy,
political maturity and delivery system in the last decade, there was
still room for improvement.
"We have better infrastructure in many parts of the state, but this does not mean the job is done.
"Gaps remain in certain areas and in some aspects of the economy."
He said one way of filling the gaps was to improve the road conditions
and establish links to areas that are not accessible. He also added that
more people should be given access to piped water and electricity.
Musa is widely regarded as a youthful and energetic, innovative and a determined leader, he has successfully communicated his vision to 3 million people of Sabah and has been able to instill a sense of confidence in what they have and a hope for a golden tomorrow. An astute politician, a skilled orator and a deft negotiator, Musa Aman has earned the love and affection of the people from kampongs, towns and city alike which makes him a rare leader of the masses.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Musa government was sworn-in in 2003, the economy of Sabah was reeling under several adverse trends. The growth in various sectors was stagnant, major parts of the state were facing water scarcity and power shortage, infrastructure was in shambles and investments had slowed down. Moreover, the mood of the people was despondent. The biggest challenge was to resurrect the spirits and the economy, revive the livelihoods and to construct the infrastructure. However Musa Aman, a master strategist enriched by national and international exposure and experience, decided to take the bull by its horns and turned an adversity into an opportunity. He re-oriented and re-organized government’s administrative structure, embarked upon a massive exercise for construction of infrastructure, recreation of the business environment and rejuvenation of the traditional entrepreneurial spirit of Sabah, putting Sabah back on the road to progress and prosperity.
