Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has agreed with a proposal for the formation of a state-federal committee to coordinate the implementation of federal development projects in Sabah.
He said that obstacles hindering the implementation or completion of federal projects could be ironed out with the formation of the committee under the purview of the Sabah Development Office (SDO).
The Chief Minister also instructed the SDO to act against contractors who failed to carry out their end of the bargain, according to a statement.
"Just terminate their contract. Why must the contractor continue to be retained when the project never takes off? What is the hold up (in firing the contractor)?" he said while chairing a State Development Action Council meeting at Menara Kinabalu today.
