KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman wants the Sabah media fraternity to continue reporting positively on issues of the day, particularly development initiatives and government policies aimed at uplifting livelihoods.
He said there was a need to share with the rest of the country that "Sabah is progressing fast and becoming a vibrant state to live and work in".
"The media is not just a powerful medium and a key instrument in boosting overall economic growth, but also acts as an influential agent in social change and is integral in influencing opinion.
"When used responsibly, the media can help to transform a society, providing opportunity for community participation," he said at the Kinabalu Shell Press Awards here tonight.
The text of his speech was read out by Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

ReplyDeleteSabah’s economy is evident in private investments which saw a 4.2% growth in bank loans to 27.6 billion ringgit during the first nine months of this year despite bankers being wary of the global economic downturn. The investments are mostly in construction, real estate, finance and insurance and agro-business.
