Kota Kinabalu: Star Sabah hit back at claims by Sabah Umno Youth that the Kota Belud Jelapang Padi project is a symbol of the State Government’s failure, saying it was inherited from past administrations.

Star Sabah Deputy President Datuk Robert Tawik said the project was approved and launched during Umno and Barisan Nasional’s (BN) tenure in both the state and federal governments.

He questioned Sabah Umno Youth Chief Sufian Abdul Karim’s selective memory.
