A SABAH state assistant minister said there is no reason to replace Musa Aman as chief minister.

Sairin Karno said the people would lose in terms of progress should Musa who has been instrumental in Sabah’s rapid development, be replaced.

In this regard, the Agriculture and Food Industry assistant minister hoped the people, particularly those in the interior, would continue to support and maintain Barisan Nasional as the state government, led by Musa.

“The people should not gamble away their children’s future for personal interest,” he told reporters after launching the Utusan Malaysia education supplement Tutor for schools in his constituency, Liawan, at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Gunsanad today.

Sairin also urged the locals to allow Prime Minister Najib Razak to continue leading the country and described him as “a courageous man who dared to promise that he would return any rights due to Sabah under the Malaysia Agreement 1963”.

Meanwhile, the Utusan Malaysia education supplement worth RM58,046 was sponsored by Sairin for 25 schools involving 3,387 SPM, UPSR and PT3 students.

“This sponsorship is a first for Liawan. It is my contribution and support for the development of its students.

“It is also part of my roadmap as the elected representative for Liawan. I hope this initiative will help to boost the quality of education among the students,” he said. – Bernama, March 28, 2018.
