KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has called on civil servants in Sabah to maintain smooth administrative operations and public service delivery during the upcoming state election. He stressed the importance of professionalism, neutrality, and integrity among government personnel.

Four bills to be tabled at State Assembly sitting
Hajiji chairing the Chief Minister's Department post-cabinet meeting at Menara Kinabalu on Wednesday. KOTA KINABALU (July 2): Four bills will be tabled during the two-day State Assembly sitting, beginning next Monday. The Chief Minister's Department will table two bills: the Forestry (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the Climate and Carbon Governance Bill 2025. The other two will be tabled by the Finance Ministry — the State Sales Tax (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the Supplementary Supply Bill 2025. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor disclosed this at the Chief Minister's Department post-cabinet meeting at Menara Kinabalu on Wednesday. The State Assembly sitting is expected to be the last before the assembly is dissolved to make way for the next state election. The current term expires in October. Meanwhile, Hajiji hoped public service personnel will continue to uphold the principles of professionalism, neutrality and integrity in carrying out their duties during this election year. 'We are facing the state elections this year. As the backbone of the State Government administration, civil servants must ensure that all administrative affairs and service delivery to the people are not disrupted and continue to run smoothly as usual. 'The efficiency and transparency of civil servants in facing this challenging period will reflect our commitment to continue supporting the democratic system and stability of the state administration,' he said at the meeting. Hajiji also urged all department heads to demonstrate strong commitment in carrying out their responsibilities. He said they must carry out their duties with greater efficiency and accuracy, as well as monitor projects more effectively to ensure all approved projects are completed within schedule. 'This is crucial to avoid having to deal with delays in execution, wastage of resources and jeopardising reputation and public trust in the capabilities of the government's administrative machinery,' he said. The Chief Minister also reminded all public service personnel to always be responsive, proactive and to practise good governance in carrying out their duties in order to provide the best services to the people. 'Civil servants must carry out their responsibilities with trust, transparency and a strong sense of accountability. They must avoid conflicts of interest so that the state government's goals and objectives can be successfully achieved. 'The interest of the government is always more important than personal interest,' he said. Hajiji also reminded civil servants to always uphold personal integrity and make it a core value in their character. 'Without high personal integrity, the consequences to the image of the public service and the entire state government institution would be severe,' he said.
