Kota Kinabalu: The development allocation of RM6.6 billion for Sabah through Budget 2024 proves the Unity Government’s commitment to balance progress in the State.
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry Assistant Minister Peto Galim said a number of development projects will be implemented by repairing dilapidated schools and strengthening access to health services. “The government also continued to give electricity bill rebates of up to RM40 per month to extremely poor households with an allocation of RM55 million including the exemption of electricity bill account deposit under their name to ease their burden.
Peto, who is also the Inanam assemblyman, said the area which has 60 villages and is one of the largest in Sabah needs an accurate development plan. Peto hopes that young people will no longer be easily satisfied when they have a degree but also try to earn income from agricultural and business sources.“Housewives are advised to find specific activities or expertise that can bring economic resources,” he added.
