Sabah Ranks in Top Five in Completion of Projects

Based on the MyProjek report, 1,271 projects (396 continuing projects and 876 new) are being implemented this year, 2025, in Sabah. From the total, 1,171 projects or RM5.584 billion are physical projects and 100 or RM355.24 million are non-physical projects. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said that Sabah ranks among top five states in the country in terms of completion of the projects.

“I urge everyone to step up to ensure Sabah achieves the best in terms of implementation of the projects,” Hajiji said on 24 July 2024 when chairing the State Development Action Council (Majlis Tindakan Pembangunan Negeri or MTPNg) meeting at Menara Kinabalu.

“We must work harder to complete every project more swiftly. We must not let complacency sets in. All agencies and ministries must play a significant role in ensuring success. The state’s financial governance is strong and resilient because of proper disbursement of allocated funds and compliance to procedures and guidelines. Payments to contractors and consultants are made promptly, accurately, and in compliance with protocols and procedures.”

The State Government is relentless in carrying out initiatives under the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya Development Plan. “The initiatives have boosted income and alleviated targeted groups, the CM said. “The continuous provision of needs and facilities to the people, through the upgrading of public amenities, basic facilities, social infrastructure, and social service assistance, has benefitted the poor in Sabah.”

The Hala Tuju SMJ development plan’s focus on Human Capital and People’s Well-Being will continue and will be enhanced, Hajiji added. “This includes initiatives to improve living standards, provide educational opportunities, and comprehensively empower human capital, while also educating the society to participate in or contribute to the implementation of programmes that benefit target groups such as the poor and hardcore poor,” he said.
