FORMER banker and a member of the Sabah Economic Action Council (SEAC) recently spoke on how the State GLCs, many of which are riddled with problems, can be made to turn around.

He says the GRS government recognised that it has inherited another legacy problem, along with water and electricity, which are also being addressed.

Instead of accepting the status quo, the Hajiji-led administration has set in motion steps to improve the performance of these GLCs which are parked under the State Finance Ministry.

He pointed to the dozen or so GLCs that have bucked the trend and have become star performers in the State and a benchmark for the rest.
