“In this modern and sophisticated era, service delivery must not only be fast, but also responsive, accurate, and inclusive.
“Efficient public service is what the people want, and at the same time, it serves as a foundation for the success of state development,” he said during the Sabah State Banquet in conjunction with the 74th Official Birthday Celebration of the Head of State at the Banquet Hall, Menara Kinabalu, on Saturday.
Present were Head of State, Tun Musa Aman and his wife Toh Puan Faridah Tussin, the Chief Minister’s wife Datin Seri Datuk Juliah Salag, Sabah State Legislative Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Kadzim M. Yahya, members of the state cabinet, and other dignitaries.
In line with this, the Chief Minister called on all parties — from state leadership to members of the public service — to always carry out their entrusted duties and responsibilities sincerely and honestly, with loyalty, dedication, and integrity.
He added that the trust placed by the people in the State Government must be fully upheld and executed with excellence.
“Our main objective is to ensure the state is governed efficiently to drive smooth development processes, as envisioned and hoped for by all of us.
“Indeed, the State Government remains committed to excellence in advancing state development and the people’s well-being — especially under the wisdom and leadership of His Excellency the Governor, who is the symbol of sovereignty, unity, and harmony in this state,” he said.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the state government is committed to strengthening and empowering a culture of integrity, good governance, and anti-corruption through strategic collaboration with enforcement agencies.
“This includes cooperation with the police, the National Audit Department, and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
“Values of integrity, accountability, and good governance are not only fundamental principles for holistic state development but also serve as key pillars in safeguarding the sovereignty, prosperity, and stability of the state,” he said.
