Solidarity important element in developing Sabah: Musa

SANDAKAN: Solidarity among the people is an important element in the government's efforts to develop the state, says Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman.
He said this was because the support and cooperation from all parties was required to bring progress.
"Sabah is a state with great potential to be developed, and the state government has a mission and is planning towards it.
"Much has been achieved, but it is not sufficient, and it needs to be enhanced so that Sabah is better known internationally," he said during a dinner event with the Yang Dipertua of Sabah Tun Juhar Mahiruddin held in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Sandakan Municipal Council here, last night.
He said the various communities in Sabah had coexisted in peace and harmony for many years, a noble trait which was strengthened through celebrating the important events from all communities together.
He said the culture of visiting people at their homes during celebrations like the Chinese New Year showed the harmonious relationship established among the people.
Meanwhile, Musa said the unity and warmth of the people of the state were admired by tourists, adding that they always felt welcomed at the places they visited.
He said the tourists knew that Sabah had many ethnic and cultural groups who lived in a peaceful and harmonious environment. — Bernama
