He said the wealth of natural resources and raw materials would also enable Sabah to diversify towards more sustainable industrial development, and not being entirely dependent on logs. “All of this is important to provide more employment opportunities in the state for Sabahans,” he said when launching the ‘New Sipitang — Clean and Beautiful’ programme at the Sipitang Esplanade here today.
However, the chief minister said that the unity and mutual understanding of the multi-racial community in Sabah was also key to building a more viable and progressive state.
