Shahelmey stresses grassroots role in Sabah Maju Jaya plan success
Published on: Monday, June 30, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 30, 2025 Text Size: 'This is to ensure that any problems can be brought forward for resolution, and it highlights the importance of two-way engagement between the people and responsible authorities on the ground,' Shahelmey said. PUTATAN: The people have been urged to continue serving as the 'eyes and ears' of the State Government in realising the goals of governance and ensuring socio-economic balance across Sabah. Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Ir Shahelmey Yahya said a holistic partnership between grassroots communities and the government was vital, particularly in the ongoing implementation of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development plan. 'Whatever issues arise in your respective areas, I encourage the community to stay in close communication with agencies such as UPPM, JPKK, JKDM and others. 'This is to ensure that any problems can be brought forward for resolution, and it highlights the importance of two-way engagement between the people and responsible authorities on the ground,' he said. Shahelmey, who is also the Tanjung Keramat Assemblyman, was speaking at the launch of the Semangat Madani Tanjung Keramat programme held at Dewan Serbaguna Muhibbah in Taman Jumbo, here, Saturday. Earlier, the community-focused programme saw the participation of over 100 residents from various age groups who took part in a range of activities. Among the highlights were a neighbourhood gotong-royong (communal clean-up) and a colouring competition for children in the area. Commenting on the event, Shahelmey said the active involvement of the local community reflected growing awareness of the importance of maintaining cleanliness and safety in their surroundings. 'With initiatives like this, participants not only strengthen community bonds but also build greater awareness about keeping the environment clean, safe and harmonious. 'This aligns well with the State Government's call for unity among all levels of society in order to foster more resilient and competitive communities in the future,' he added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Kota Kinabalu: An experienced hiker said it is not surprising to read about climbers suffering injuries while tackling Mount Kinabalu as they probably take Malaysia's highest peak for granted. She shared her recent experience of being rescued, in the hope it might inform and inspire others planning theirs. What began as a family adventure to conquer the 4,095-meter summit turned into a humbling lesson about nature's power for 28-year-old Aina Farid who ended up being carried down on the back of a rescuer. The Kuala Lumpur-based PR consultant, said her experience revealed both the mountain's unforgiving terrain and the exceptional response capabilities of Sabah's emergency teams.
