However, he asserted that all applications made were in line with the state government’s policy to advance the agriculture agenda of Sabah to enhance food security.Facebook account “Edisi Panas Sabah” recently claimed the alleged link of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to the land deal involving 968 hectares of Pulau Balambangan.
The Facebook account also provided details of the six land approvals amounting to a total of 2,393 acres or 968.4 hectares. Meanwhile, Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah Vice President Datuk Rubin Balang said in a statement on Monday that investors interested in Sabah should not be overly concerned about the action by certain quarters in the state, to thwart the government’s effort to develop the state.
“The proposed projects, when realized, would undoubtedly benefit Sabah in terms of tax revenue, in addition to stimulating and accelerating the state’s economic growth. In reality, investors, including Datuk Sri Thomas Hah, should not be overly concerned or worried about the issues and comments of certain parties in this state, especially opposition parties that will oppose any government effort to advance and develop the state. That is the work of opposition parties,” he stressed.
