Security, growth and welfare

Kota Kinabalu: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has outlined three thrusts that must be emphasised for Sabah within the next five years which he believed can be achieved with the existing cordial relationship between the Federal and State Government under Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

The first thrust was to ensure security, sovereignty and peace in Sabah. "The Lahad Datu incident must not be forgotten. We take proactive steps to prepare sufficient security personnel as well as our intelligence efficiency.

"We must place the right technology and in strategic places as well as new army camps to ensure people exposed to the threats will be able to sleep tightly at night," said the Prime Minister.

Speaking at the breaking of fast ceremony here, which was also his first official visit to Sabah after the 13th General Election, Najib said the Government through Esscom was also formulating a model for the resettlement of all coastal settlements in Sabah.

The second and third thrusts are to stimulate development in Sabah as well as ensure the people's welfare.
"We must ensure not only we bring progress but also take into consideration the people's welfare," he said.

Najib said all these are to be done with 1Malaysia as the pillar so that all the ethnic groups in Sabah would be able to feel development under the Barisan Nasional (BN).

Solid PM-DPM ties good for Sabah: Musa

KOTA KINABALU (June 17, 2013): The solid partnership between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, as well as strong support from all leaders and the people will ensure Sabah continues to develop and prosper, said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.

He said the state government and the people of Sabah had also congratulated Najib on his success in leading the Barisan Nasional (BN) to victory in the 13th general election (GE13).

Speaking at a state dinner in conjunction with the opening of the state assembly sitting in Likas near here tonight, he said today's state assembly sitting carried a significant meaning because the BN government was given the trust and mandate by the people to continue to administer and helm the government in Sabah.

The state government, he said, would continue to intensify efforts so that all development plans could be implemented smoothly.

He also called on all government employees to be more focused in carrying out their responsibilities so that all targets and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that had been set could be achieved.
