Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the initiative boosts local product visibility and supports the growth of domestic tourism and the economy. He added that Sabah has already benefited from multiple entrepreneurship programmes under the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry (Kuskop), impacting over 50,000 micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs. These include rural market projects, digitalisation support via Tekun TikTok Shop, RM800 million in financing, and SME Corp's micro-enterprise hubs, along with targeted poverty alleviation efforts through the ehsan@Kuskop initiative. Hajiji emphasised that Sabah's post-pandemic economic recovery is on track, with GDP improving yearly, and that continued Federal-State cooperation is vital in achieving the broader goals of a just and prosperous Madani society. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Abang Johari: Federal-state ties remain strong for Sarawak's progress
MIRI: Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg has reiterated that the close cooperation between the state and federal governments would continue in the common interests of both the country and Sarawak. He said the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government, which he leads, appreciates the cooperation currently enjoyed between the state and the federal government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. "In fact, at the federal level, Sarawak is represented by a deputy prime minister, namely Datuk Sri Fadillah Yusof, in addition to other ministers from Sarawak," he said in his speech at the Sarawak Day celebration here yesterday. He expressed confidence that Sarawak's efforts to achieve greater prosperity would not undermine the wider national objective of advancing the country's overall development. He said the increase in Sarawak's revenue, particularly through the Sarawak Sales Tax (SST), would not diminish the country's revenue as the federal government has sufficient avenues to boost national income without burdening the people. Abang Johari said the GPS government would continue to fight for Sarawak's rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) through ongoing negotiations with Putrajaya. "Sarawak has successfully regained nine rights under MA63 and the GPS government will continue its efforts to restore all rights that have been eroded over the years," he said. He noted that Sarawak started as a state with many shortcomings and widespread poverty, especially in rural areas, during the formation of Malaysia. "Now we are grateful that Sarawak's economy has shown very encouraging growth," he said, adding that last year Sarawak recorded its highest ever revenue of RM14 billion compared to RM13.3 billion in 2023. He said this year he had presented the largest budget in Sarawak's history amounting to RM15.8 billion, opening up opportunities for a more inclusive economy. "Under the powers provided by the Federal Constitution, the state has begun to enjoy more of its oil and gas revenues through the SST imposed on petroleum products as well as through profit sharing between Petronas and Petros," he said. The premier said the World Bank had recognised Sarawak as a high-income region for three consecutive years since 2022 based on a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of RM73,100 (US$17,000) in 2024, a figure that surpasses the threshold of RM63,800 (US$15,000) set by the bank. He said this status had placed Sarawak in fourth position after the Kuala Lumpur and Labuan and Penang, surpassing Selangor. He said the state government would continue to ensure Sarawak's resources are given added value through the creation of downstream industries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, guided by the long-term Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR). He expressed confidence that when fully implemented within 10 years the SGR would attract investments worth RM300 billion and generate RM120 billion in output from the product and service chain. "New industries will also be created, especially in the renewable energy sector, to generate up to 15,000 megawatts of energy by 2035, not only for domestic consumption but also for export to Asean countries," he said.

Sabah approves 723MW power projects to meet growing electricity demand
Hajiji KOTA KINABALU (July 22): The Sabah Energy Council (MTS) has approved, in principle, a total of 723 megawatts (MW) in new power generation projects to meet the state's medium-term electricity needs. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the approvals covered 360MW from gas-fired plants in Kimanis and Tawau, along with 363MW from renewable sources, including hydro and wind. These projects have received conditional technical and commercial clearance. 'All decisions must be made with balance and prudence, taking into account the state's economic growth, industrial demands and the public's capacity to bear energy costs,' he said after chairing the MTS meeting here on Tuesday. Hajiji said MTS continues to serve as the state's highest platform for aligning energy policy and noted that several fast-track projects approved last year are already delivering results. Sabah's generation reserve margin has also risen from 10 per cent in January 2023, before the Sabah Energy Commission (ECoS) assumed regulatory authority, to 17 per cent currently, with a target of 30 per cent by year-end. Hajiji added that these fast-track efforts have helped reduce the state's System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), from 363 minutes in the first half of 2023 to 215 minutes in the same period this year, and further down to 162 minutes in the latest reporting period. Hajiji also called for greater empowerment of state-linked companies (GLCs) to play a mor significant role in Sabah's energy landscape.
