KOTA KINABALU: Sabah recorded an allocation spending performance higher than the national average, having effectively utilized the funding channelled by the federal so far this year.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said Sabah had utilized RM1.206 billion or 39.48 per cent from RM3.056 billion given by the federal as of August 15.
The allocation was approved for Sabah under the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) Third Rolling Plan, for implementing 449 projects.
“This performance is 4.98 per cent above the national average, which is only 34.5 per cent,” said Musa in a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office after the State Action Council meeting yesterday.
Apart from commitments at the federal level, Musa who is also the Finance Minister, said he had reminded civil servants in Sabah to always uphold their state-level Aku Janji.
He stressed that all agencies must work closely as a team to ensure all development projects and programmes were implemented efficiently and effectively.
“We realize that civil servants face various challenges in ensuring successful implementation of government policies and programmes, especially with the advancement of social media technologies.
“The social media have been proven to be an effective tool in narrowing the gap between the government and the people. Through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on, the views of the people can be communicated directly to the government without going through the bureaucracy in the conventional channels.
“However, the social media also pose new challenges to civil servants, as they are also exploited by certain quarters to launch a war of perception against the government and government agencies.
“In this regard, we need to enhance our skills in utilizing the social media so that we can expose the people better to the truth and reality, not the perceived reality created by certain irresponsible groups,” he said.Borneo Post
