AVOIDING......The
Chief Minister's business sense has helped in spending prudently on government
funds and avoiding wastage.
KOTA KINABALU: An uncanny
business acumen and prudent spending by Chief Minister Musa Aman is the chief
reason why Sabah continues to have an excellent financial management record.
Deputy Sabah Umno Chief,
Salleh Said Keruak said Musa is well known for being a savvy businessman before
he entered politics and these traits have since worked well for him since
helming the government.
“We are fortunate to have a
chief minister who is knowledgeable in business and economics and Sabah’s
spending is never done wantonly; projects are well planned and development is
carried out only if its benefits the people,” said Salleh.
“In briefings by our
agencies and departments, the chief minister has never failed to stress on the
need for prudent spending on government funds and to avoid wastage.
“He insists on all agencies
to be self sufficient and profit oriented.”
Salleh was referring to the
announcement by Auditor General Ambrin Buang that Sabah’s financial successes
can be a benchmark for other agencies and departments.
On the forthcoming 2013
Budget which would be tabled by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in Parliament on
Friday, Salleh said he hoped that there would be lots of goodies, especially
for the people in Sabah.
He said that despite getting
a substantial amount of development funds, Sabah could still do with more, in
order to ensure that infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water supply
as well as more schools be stepped up.
Musa has proved it, again! Kudos to our CM
ReplyDeletedan tidak hairanlah ramai pihak yang cuba menjatuhkan musa disebabkan cemburu dengan pencapaian musa aman sepanjang menjadi KM sabah.
DeleteCM has done lots of things to Sabah and it's clearly shown in Sabah.
Delete"The victory of 2008 12th General Elections where he won 59 seats out of the total 60 seats is a reaffirmation of the people’s faith in his leadership, statesmanship and governance which he displayed as Chief Minister from 2003."
DeleteThis is it!
tahniah kepada musa...kecemerlangan sebegini harus dikekalkan..
ReplyDeletePasti akna lebih ramai yang cemburu dengan Musa lepas ni.
DeleteBetul..Bila ada pihak yang berjaya pasti ada pihak yang tidak senang hati dan cuba untuk menjatuhkan orang lain.
DeleteRasanya sikap begini perlu dibuang dari diri kita. Ini cuma akan melembapkan bangsa kita untuk terus kehadapan. Biarlah teruskan dengan persaingan yang sihat dan bukannya dengan cara yang kotor.
DeleteHis utmost commitment and dedication have rendered him as an outstanding administrator and after being elected for the 2nd term, in March 2008, as chief minister, the Sabah Chinese Chamber of Commerce had a lot of good words to say about Musa Aman and the prudent ways he handle the state’s finance, a rare comment from Chinese business community.
DeleteMusa hanya tidak disenangi oleh mereka yang rakus projek untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.
DeleteTaniah kepada musa dan teruskan usaha. Rakyat pasti akan terus menyokong anda.
ReplyDeleteMusa mendapat sokongan padu daripada para pemimpin yang mempunyai perjuangan yang sama dengan beliau, yakni membangun negeri dan rakyat.
DeleteSabah has registered a GDP growth of over 7% over past five years which is one of the highest growth rate among all the states in Malaysia. The efforts of Musa’s government have resulted into metamorphosis of a revenue deficit state into a revenue surplus state with reserves of 2.32 billion ringgit . Last year alone, the state’s export value stood at RM49.4 billion with trade surplus of RM16.6 billion.
ReplyDeleteMusa’s model of good governance is being applauded within the country and beyond. The way he has won the hearts of people of Sabah and his popularity at the national level shows that ‘Good governance is also good politics’.
ReplyDeleteMusa adalah seorang pemimpin dan ahli perniagaan yang berjaya.
ReplyDeletesatu pencapaian Musa, semasa Musa dilantik sebagai Menteri Kewangan Sabah, simpanan Sabah
ReplyDeletehanya RM200 juta. beliau berjaya menambah simpanan sabah sehinggalah mencapai RM3bilion.
When the Musa government was sworn-in in 2003, the economy of Sabah was reeling under several adverse trends. The growth in various sectors was stagnant, major parts of the state were facing water scarcity and power shortage, infrastructure was in shambles and investments had slowed down. Moreover, the mood of the people was despondent. The biggest challenge was to resurrect the spirits and the economy, revive the livelihoods and to construct the infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteHowever Musa Aman, a master strategist enriched by national and international exposure and experience, decided to take the bull by its horns and turned an adversity into an opportunity. He re-oriented and re-organized government’s administrative structure, embarked upon a massive exercise for construction of infrastructure, recreation of the business environment and rejuvenation of the traditional entrepreneurial spirit of Sabah, putting Sabah back on the road to progress and prosperity.
ReplyDeleteEven when the construction of infrastructure was going on, Musa Aman did not lose sight of the bigger picture. He emphasized on all-inclusive and uniform development of all communities and districts. In the very first year of his tenure, he came out with an integrated strategy for overall development of the State which I call the EIGHT PILLARS:
ReplyDelete1) Rural Development and Poverty Eradication
2) Quality and coverage in Education
3) Development of Human Resources
4) Power of energy Resources
5) Good Forest and Environmental Governance
6) Sustainable Development
7) Good Governance
8) Security and well being of people.

ReplyDeleteSabah recorded the biggest gross output in agriculture compared to other states in the country. Agriculture production including short term and long term crops have quadrupled. Sabah produced RM13.21 billion or 24.7 per cent of the total of RM53.45 billion agricultural output in Malaysia last year. Sabah leads in energy production. Sabah has been able to supply uninterrupted three phase round the clock electricity to most of the kampongs in the state. The rural economy is now vibrant owing to this and some kampongs have turned into centers of production.
ReplyDeleteWorking in harmony with the Federal Ministries, Musa’s Government has brought qualitative change in health services and health infrastructure to ensure a healthy mother and child in the very remote areas of Sabah. Focus on cent per cent enrollment of children through campaigns and resultant drooping drop out rates have been able to reverse the trend of high illiteracy rate from Sabah.
ReplyDeleteThe focus is putting Sabah at par with the developed regions in Human Development Index and work towards the achieving Millenium Development Goals declared by the UN. To ensure all round, all inclusive and uniform development, comprehensive and well conceived packages like indigenous people welfare in remote areas, development of coastal dwellers, upliftment of urban poor are under implementation.
ReplyDeleteSetting up of Kimanis RM1.5bil gas-fired plant a 300MW power plant to address the power supply issue in the state and water grid are exemplary achievements in infrastructure. Musa Aman has also created excellent infrastructure at tourist places. Urban sector has been enlivened by up gradation of civic amenities, state of art sports complexs, parks i.e the Perdana Park in Tanjung Aru and emphasis on cleanliness and greening.
ReplyDeleteEven in the forest sector Musa has done a wonderful job as he has been pursuing for good forest and environmental governance in the interest of future generations to come. Recently, The Sabah Forestry Department had decided to re-gazette 183,000 hectares of Class 2 Commercial Forests into Class 1 Protection Forests to expand the expanse of totally protected forests in the state.
