Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor lauded the Federal Cabinet's decision to give full autonomy to Sabah and Sarawak over development projects under RM50 million.

He said this is another good news announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on top of the handing over of gas resources regulatory power.

“It will definitely help in the approval and implementation of development projects that have always been impeded by cumbersome red tape before,” said the chief minister in a statement.

In the spirit of the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63), this is indeed good news, he added.
