Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Kinabatangan needs a new chapter of development so its people can enjoy greater progress under the government’s plans.
He said the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government had laid out a clear development roadmap for the state, including Kinabatangan, through the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) direction.
The plan covers all aspects of growth, from strengthening the economy and education to improving community wellbeing, supported by achievements in industry, tourism and agriculture.
Hajiji highlighted various state initiatives, including monthly aid of RM300 for a year to more than 10,000 low-income residents, and an increase in Rumah Mesra SMJ units to 40 for each state constituency, including Lamag and Sukau.
He said the state government has also distributed 100 dialysis machines to government hospitals and clinics to provide free treatment for kidney patients.
On the Seri Milian New Town project in Kota Kinabatangan, Hajiji said it would be a catalyst for change expected to transform the district over the next five to 10 years.
During the event, he presented 255 Pantas draft grants for Lamag involving 582.426 hectares, a Kinabatangan District Council land grant covering 157.48 acres, and three Pantas draft grants for Sukau totalling 16.224 hectares.
