KOTA KINABALU: Former Chief
Minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh congratulated Sabah leaders particularly Chief
Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman and Plantation Industries and Commodities
Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok for their determination to get development projects
for the benefit of Sabahans.
He said it is agreed that a
Native Court should be built not only at Penampang but in every district in
Sabah.
However, these court houses
should copy the Melaka Court House where it accommodates all types of courts -
the Civil and Criminal Court, Syariah Court and Penghulu Court or Native Court.
"In the case of the
Sabah Court House, I suggest the ground floor be allocated for the library and
canteen, whereas the first floor for Native Court, second floor for Syariah Court
and the third and fourth floors for the Civil and Criminal Courts. This will
put all things 'ramai-ramai' at once place," he said in a statement here
Monday.
Harris also said getting the
approval from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak to build a
coastal road from Tuaran to Kudat was quite an achievement.
"Again, however, from
good economic point of view, it is better to use the billions to upgrade the
existing road and make a dual carriageway between Tuaran and Kudat rather than
spending on the construction of new coastal road.
"Remember, the present
road is only a few kilometers from the coast or beach.
Therefore with the upgrading
to dual carriageway plus improvements on the road, it will be more comfortable
for the road users and this will further encourage more visitors or tourists to
come, thus boost economic activities in the areas," he said.
Najib had officiated at the
groundbreaking ceremony of the Native Court Training Institute in Penampang on
Saturday while on Sunday, he had agreed in principle to the construction of a
coastal road from Tuaran to Kudat.
