KOTA KINABALU: The true measure of a government's success lies in how much its people benefit from development, says Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
He said the state government would continue strengthening initiatives that directly impact lives, including in education, welfare, housing, healthcare, rural development, women and youth empowerment, and basic amenities.
"Ultimately, the true measure of a government's success is not what it has built, but the extent to which the people benefit from that development," he said in a speech delivered by Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.
"I am confident that with the spirit of togetherness, integrity in governance, close cooperation between the state and federal governments, and the unwavering support of the people, we can take Sabah further forward as a more advanced and prosperous state."
The speech was delivered in conjunction with the launch of the state-level National Day and Sabah Day celebrations.
Hajiji added that in the digital era, the public had greater opportunities to express their views and stay informed about the state's development.
"The state government values every opinion and constructive criticism as a reflection of the people's concern for Sabah's future.
"However, all views should be expressed responsibly, based on verified facts and with the intention of building rather than dividing society.
"Let us make wise use of technology to disseminate accurate information, foster mutual understanding and strengthen unity," he said.
