KOTA MARUDU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor announced
that Sabah has successfully achieved its target to eliminate hardcore poverty in July
this year.
“Due to the commitment from all, which is in line with the aspirations of the Madani
government and Sabah Maju Jaya Development Plan 1.0 (2021-2025), I wish to
announce we had succeeded in eliminating the hardcore poor in the locked figure list
on July 31, 2024,” he said.
Speaking at the launching of the padi cultivation pilot project at Kampung Ongkilan
here today, the Chief Minister said cooperation from GLCs like Sawit Kinabalu has
helped the State Government efforts to eliminate hardcore poor in the state.
“I hope the GLCs will continue to provide job opportunities to our youths. This will
undoubtedly help the state government through the SMJ Secretariat and Sabah
Development Office endeavour to end hardcore poverty,” he said. -pr/BNN
