Two analysts say although some achievements can be seen, progress in reforms has been slow.
Sabah has banned the export of logs as part of efforts to tackle illegal logging, but analyst Arnold Puyok says the state government must also move ‘from rhetoric to action’ on such decisions.
He added that state ministers, like their counterparts at the federal level, are still on a learning curve. These include the passing of a motion in the legislative assembly to pursue the Malaysia Agreement 1963 and the implementation of rights granted to Sabah. He likewise praised the government’s decision to abolish communal titles which it said would give landowners more rights over their land.“All the assurances and promises must be institutionalised. The government must move from rhetoric to action.”
