PENAMPANG: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants hardcore poverty in Sabah to be eradicated by end of July this year.
The prime minister is confident that the target can be achieved as the number of heads of households in the hardcore poor category in Sabah has now dropped to just 9,000 from 20,000 previously.The issue of hardcore poverty in Sabah , he said, is far more serious than other states such as Penang and Selangor and hence, the integrated cooperation between the federal and state governments needs to be strengthened towards solving the problem.
The month-long Kaamatan Festival began with the opening ceremony in Ranau on May 1. The harvest festival has now evolved into a festival of unity celebrated by people of various backgrounds in Sabah, as well as the whole country.
“Through these discussions, we may modify some existing plans and pay attention to the new proposals,” he explained. In the meantime, the Prime Minister said that the recent electricity tariff adjustment managed to save about RM4.5 billion of government money, while the implementation of the targeted diesel subsidy for one year is expected to save RM4 billion.
