RM14b spent on 144 Sabah projects, more to come under Madani government
TAWAU, May 11 — The Madani Government has successfully implemented 144 development projects in Sabah to date, involving a total allocation of RM14 billion, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said the projects include the upgrading of Tawau Hospital and Lahad Datu Prison, the construction of the Sepanggar Bay container port and the proposed heart medical centre in Kota Kinabalu.
He added that the government has allocated over RM350 million for the Madani Solar programme, with Tawau selected as the pilot project site.
The initiative involves the installation of 40 solar-powered streetlights in collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and the local community.
“We are doing what’s best for the people… addressing issues such as electricity and energy costs, education for children, toilets, science labs, police and armed forces needs including housing, and roads to be repaired.
“In just over two years, this is what the Madani Government has achieved. Some say it’s still not enough, and I agree because some of the issues are inherited and cannot be resolved in just a year or two,” he said.
Anwar said this in his speech when officiating the closing ceremony of the Sabah Madani Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 at the Tawau Municipal Council square here today.
