STRONG STATE GOVERNMENT ESSENTIAL FOR SABAH’S DEVELOPMENT - SUNGAI MANILA BN CANDIDATE

LIBARAN, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- A stable state government is crucial to ensuring that development plans in Sabah can be implemented effectively, says Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Sungai Manila state seat, Zaini Tiksun.

He said the state government formed after the 17th Sabah State Election must be strong, not merely reliant on a simple majority, to ensure Sabah can be governed in a more organised and strategic manner.

“Only with a strong mandate can BN implement the various agendas planned for the benefit of the people, especially in the Sungai Manila constituency,” he said.

“Although I am a new face candidate, I have served in the Sungai Manila constituency for a long time as the Libaran Parliamentary Relations head, and I am regularly on the ground addressing the issues faced by the people.

“We listen to every complaint and concern from residents. Based on my service record since 2022, I am confident that the people of Sungai Manila will continue to choose BN, which has proven its ability to bring development to this area,” Zaini told Bernama recently.

The retired teacher and former assistant engineer said history has shown that BN has consistently driven continuous development while prioritising the welfare of people at all levels.

He added that it is important for the state and federal governments to be aligned to ensure that development allocations can be channelled to Sabah more smoothly and consistently.

The Election Commission (EC) has set Nov 29 as polling day for the 17th Sabah State Election, with nominations on Nov 15 and early voting scheduled for Nov 25.
