Sabah 's longest-serving Yang Di-Pertua Negeri, Tun Juhar Mahiruddin, ends his term on Tuesday (Dec 31), describing it as challenging. The 71-year-old Juhar said that his 14 years as Governor (since 2011) have been a long journey filled with many experiences, sometimes full of challenges, but he carried out his duties'honestly, fairly and responsibly.' He said it was part of his duties, but one thing was certain: the people could not be marginalised in every decision and action.
'Every day, the people need to be given attention because they are the foundation and backbone of all development and success achieved. Every decision taken and every policy enacted must focus on the well-being and welfare of the people. 'Without the support and trust of the people, no success can be achieved in government,' he said in his speech in conjunction with the state government's appreciation banquet at Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) here Monday (Dec 29). Juhar said that as a person entrusted to lead the state, he always strived to carry out his responsibilities with continuous cooperation and commitment from all parties.
