At the same time, he said the state government remains committed to fighting for Sabah’s rights as enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 , especially in the demand for the Special Grant and defending the interests of the people through the MA63 Implementation Action Council, with one example being in 2023 when the state government had accepted an increase in the interim payment of the Special Grant to RM300 million compared to RM125.

Juhar said such initiatives include exploring the Blue Economy, which has great potential to further stimulate economic growth, create job opportunities and improve the people’s living standards in the country, and, in line with this, the Sabah International Blue Economy Conference 2024 programme was held on March 6 and will be followed by the SIBEC conference in September.

He added that the 13th Malaysia Plan 2026 to 2030 will be starting in two years’ time and as a proactive measure, this year the state government has already started making preliminary preparations in the planning of direction as well as development programmes and projects to be implemented under this plan to ensure that they are relevant with current developments and needs and in parallel with the latest state and national development direction.

Juhar added Sabah should be proud of the harmony and peace enjoyed today, which are the result of tolerance and the spirit of mutual trust among people from various tribes, cultures, and religions, as this uniqueness is the strength of the state of Sabah, and this backbone of unity and stability must always be preserved.
