RANAU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said his call for Sabahans to allow the GRS-led State government to continue the mandate in the coming 17th State election is based on the coalition’s achievements since taking over in 2020.

“If we say the government’s achievements today are so good and need a new mandate, it is because we are confident that we can rule Sabah once again after the PRN.

“We highlight GRS not randomly, we have ruled for four years, we achieved many successes when we ruled Sabah.

“But, there are people out there talking about all kinds of things about GRS, that’s because they don’t see the successes of GRS.”

Hajiji is confident that the three state assembly seats in the area can be defended under the GRS in the next election.

At the event, Hajiji also announced the reconstruction of the suspension bridge in Kg Lingkudau which was damaged due to strong currents with an allocation of RM350,000.

He also announced the allocation of RM1 million for the expansion of the Kundasang Town Open Stage and another RM6 million for the construction of the Kundasang Multipurpose Hall.

Hajiji also handed over a total of 1,143 native land grants to villagers from Kundasang, Paginatan and Karanaan state assemblies involving a total area of 4,177.354 acres.
