KOTA KINABALU: The implementation of "low-hanging fruit" projects could serve as a strategic catalyst for Sabah's development, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
He said issues raised during the recent state legislative assembly sitting included basic needs such as water and electricity supply, roads, flooding and drainage systems, as well as education.
"All these issues are related to the people's daily needs and some can be resolved through the implementation of 'low-hanging fruit' projects.
"While mega projects are important for long-term growth, these 'low-hanging fruit' projects can deliver immediate impact that the people and the government can feel within a shorter period," he said in a statement after chairing the State Development Action Council (MTPNg) meeting at Menara Kinabalu here.
Hajiji said the people had high expectations of enjoying the benefits of development without delay.
"I call on all ministries, departments and implementing agencies to strengthen their commitment further, enhance cooperation and improve strategic coordination.
"This is to ensure that every development project is implemented efficiently, systematically and according to the stipulated schedule."
Also present were Deputy Chief Ministers Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam and Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, state Cabinet ministers and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Sabah and Sarawak) Datuk Mustapha Sakmud.
