THE Sabah government will continue in its efforts to revive the state’s economy through various initiatives outlined in the Sabah Maju Jaya development plan, said Chief Minister Hajiji Noor.

He said the state government’s determination can be seen through several significant achievements last year, including recording the highest ever state revenue at RM5.449 billion.

“There are many more achievements that will benefit the people in the state as a whole. In terms of developing the state, we still have a lot to do,” he said in a message in Kota Kinabalu today in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidiladha tomorrow.

Hajiji said Muslims around the world should appreciate and learn from the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Prophet Ismail’s sacrifice in facing various challenges in life.

As for Muslims in Sabah, he said the lesson from Aidiladha can be a guide in facing the challenges of Covid-19, especially in regards to the economy.

“For those performing the sacrificial rituals, fulfil your responsibility with humility and sincerity. Distribute the korban meat to those in need. Hopefully, through this ibadah, we can strengthen the unity among the people in Sabah,” he said. – Bernama, July 9, 2022.
