Be knowledgeable about Sabah Devt Corridor: PBS president

TAWAU, Feb 2 (The Borneo Post) -- Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan hoped the people could equip themselves with knowledge of Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) and give suggestions which could be developed.

Pairin said the government would always consider the people’s need by carrying out discussion in each district to let the people get involved in SDC programmes.

He said this during his visit to PBS Sri Tanjong Chinese New Year open house at Jalan Sinon yesterday morning.

“The people here need development. Therefore it is the responsibility of all parties to get involved in SDC planning for better state development in the future.

“It depends on us how to plan and manage SDC programmes to ensure the smooth running of all systems and procedures.

“For example, the government is now trying to fill empty job vacancies. At the same time, job seekers have been advised not to be too choosy,” Pairin said recently.

Sabah Resource Development and Information Technology Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai, Local Government and Housing Assistant Minister Edward Yong Oi Fah, PBS Sri Tanjong chairman Fung Len Fui and other Chinese community leaders were also present at the function.
