PENAMPANG: The upgrading of Penampang to a municipality come April is due to the vision of the GRS State Government, said Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) Supreme Council Member Datuk John Ambrose.
“Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor and the then Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, (now Finance Minister) saw the need to upgrade the district after taking over the State administration in September 2020.
