KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah State Government is steadfast to restore and develop the tourism sector through various programmes next year, as evident from the RM134.59 million allocation to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment in next year’s budget.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noo said the allocation will include upgrading tourism facilities and human capital development for Community Based Tourism (CoBT).
“I have also announced that the Sabah Convention Bureau (SCB) will be set up and operational by next year.
“The SCB will accelerate the growth of the tourism industry through tourism-based Business Events to make Sabah a preferred destination for Meeting, Incentive, Conference and Exhibition/Events that will generate economic activities for the benefit of the hospitality, logistics, aviation and other related sectors,” he said at the opening of the World Tourism Conference (WTC) 2022 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC).
His speech was delivered by Local Government and Housing Minister/Minister of Finance II, Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun.
Hajiji said the Conference theme “Tourism Futures Reimagined” was timely and apt.
“Since opening our borders on 1st April 2022, Malaysia and Sabah for that matter have been relentless in our pursuit of speeding up our growth and development, particularly in progressing tourism.
“I am happy to know that in-person participation at this conference will put many heads together to address tourism futures and strategies driving tourism’s recovery and resilience post-pandemic,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that although Sabah’s tourism was the worst affected sector this past two years, the State Government did not let up in its efforts to manage the challenges.
“The State Government dispensed a good budget to cushion the impact and to ensure the healthy development of our tourism industry seeing that tourism generated the biggest revenue for Sabah pre-pandemic.
“I am happy to say that our efforts to empower local communities through the Community based Rural Tourism Programme have borne fruits. It is a thriving sector as we continue to see its steady growth throughout Sabah.
“Rural-based Tourism provides the opportunity for us to grow and improve our community-based tourism products through upskilling and product enhancement.
“This initiative has not only increased the State’s tourism product offerings but also improved the economic livelihood of the communities,” he said.
Hajiji hoped the participants would take time off to experience the ongoing Community Based Tourism Roadshow showcasing the rich cultural diversity of the state’s 27 districts and 11 sub-districts being held at the sidelines of this Conference.
More than 100 operators have established their businesses since the inception of two successful Community Based Tourism pilot projects in Sabah, namely in the district of Kadamaian, Kota Belud and the sub-district of Kiulu, Tuaran in 2014.
“We are also proud that the Batu Puteh Community Ecotourism Cooperative and Miso Walai Homestay in Sandakan, in Sabah’s east coast was recently selected as one of the winners of UNWTO’s inaugural Best Tourism Villages award (2021),” he said.
According to him, all these developments meant that Sabah is on the road to recovery.
“We have embarked on various recovery initiatives including putting the state on international impactful high visibility, joint promotional destination campaigns with industry and airlines as well as media familiarisation programmes, amongst others.
“Special Airlines Incentives to airlines were also introduced to encourage airlines to resume international routes into Sabah and as of this month, six airlines have resume their international routes to Kota Kinabalu,” he said.
The fact that Sabah has managed to register 1.2 million domestic and international visitor arrivals from January to September this year with an estimated tourism receipt of RM2.1 billion was also a good sign indeed, he said.
Hajiji disclosed that from Dec 5, 2022, until Jan 1, 2023, Sabah will have additional 24 international flights per week from Taipei, Narita, Busan and Hong Kong which will add 52 per cent to the current international seat capacity.
Sabah also continues to explore as many initiatives to enhance its tourism, recognising its importance as an economic catalyst, he said, adding that it was also taking steps to ensure that Sabah remains one of Malaysia’s favourite tourism destinations.

KOTA KINABALU: The Federation of Sabah Industries (FSI) should take advantage of the many opportunities presented in the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) initiatives.
“The Hala Tuju SMJ is one of the government’s top aspirations to bring comprehensive and rapid development to Sabah. I want to see everyone including FSI capitalising on the business and investment opportunities.
“The State Government’s success in reaching the Commercial Collaboration Agreement (CCA) with Petronas in the oil and gas sector provides ample room for everyone to do business,” said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
Speaking at the FSI 39th anniversary dinner at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) here tonight, the Chief Minister said as the state chief executive, it was his aspiration to chart a path for a progressive Sabah.
“We have never stopped in our efforts to bring more progress for Sabah and the wellbeing of the people. In that, we resolved to continue our mission.
“The Hala Tuju SMJ launched early last year is heading on the right track. It outlined the vision, strategy and priority of the State Government for the next five years beginning in 2021.
“This action plan is crucial to carry Sabah onto the next decade,” said the Chief Minister in his speech delivered by Deputy Chief Minister and Industrial Development Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Joachim Gunsalam.
Last year, through the Hala Tuju SMJ development plan, Sabah recorded RM5.449 billion in revenue, the highest ever.
“I have been reiterating that with the right focus and management, we will be able to gain a bigger revenue this year that is more than RM6 billion,” he said.
In terms of attracting more investments, he said that in the period of two years (Sept 2020- 2022) Sabah remained consistent with 46 companies investing in the manufacturing sector and creating some 5,000 jobs.
During the same period, the total foreign investments chalked were RM12 billion and RM942 million in domestic investments, he said, adding that Sabah would continue to push this positive momentum as “we are confident that Sabah has been and will continue to be an attractive investment destination.”
Hajiji said FSI’s anniversary theme this year “Sabah: Hub for the Far East – AI + Human = Future” truly reflected the need of the post-pandemic era, particularly in doing business in the future.
“Merging new technology in businesses for a better delivery system is a process that we must go through,” he said, adding that the FSI can count on the State Government’s support.
“We are taking every step to improve and transform not only the state civil service but also encourage business growth in the state,” he said.

KOTA KINABALU: Pelan Transformasi Koperasi Malaysia 2021-2025 (TransKoM) perlu dijadikan sebagai rujukan utama dalam usaha mentransformasi dan memperkasa gerakan koperasi khususnya di negeri ini, kata Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
Katanya, inisiatif yang dirangka dalam TransKoM dijangka berupaya menjadikan koperasi sebagai pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan sosioekonomi Malaysia yang seimbang, inklusif, progresif dan mampan.
“Selain dari peningkatan sumbangan koperasi kepada Keluaran Dalam Negeri Kasar (KDNK), turut disasarkan peningkatan bilangan koperasi menceburi bidang pertumbuhan baharu. Penganjuran konvensyen ini tepat pada waktunya untuk mendapat maklumat dan membentuk muafakat selain mewujudkan rangkaian perniagaan atau business networking dalam kalangan koperasi dan peserta.
“Statistik gerakan koperasi setakat bulan Julai 2022 menunjukkan terdapat sebanyak 14,834 buah koperasi berdaftar di bawah Suruhanjaya Koperasi Malaysia dengan jumlah keanggotaan seramai 7.1 juta. Di negeri Sabah sendiri setakat 31 Disember 2021 terdapat sebanyak 1,652 buah koperasi dengan keanggotaan seramai 339,000 orang.
“Ini jelas menunjukkan terdapat potensi rangkaian perniagaan yang sangat luas dalam ekosistem koperasi sendiri yang boleh digunakan oleh koperasi memasarkan produk atau perkhidmatan yang dikeluarkan,” katanya ketika merasmikan Konvensyen Keusahawanan Koperasi: Memacu Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Negara di sini pada Khamis.
Teks ucapan beliau disampaikan Pembantu Menteri kepada Ketua Menteri, Datuk Abidin Madingkir.
Dalam pada itu, Hajiji mahu lebih banyak gerakan koperasi di Sabah mencapai kejayaan yang boleh dicontohi, termasuk berganding bahu bersama kerajaan dan sektor swasta dalam meningkatkan ekonomi negeri ini.
Katanya, gerakan koperasi di Sabah diminta untuk memperkasakan diri, meningkatkan daya saing, merebut peluang ekonomi yang tersedia, bekerjasama dan bekerja keras untuk membuat perubahan ke arah transformasi Sabah.
“Kerajaan negeri yang mengamalkan mesra pelabur sudah pasti turut memberi kesan positif dan peluang kepada koperasi di negeri ini. Sehingga bulan September lalu, Sabah berjaya memperolehi sejumlah RM12 bilion pelaburan asing dan RM942 juta pelaburan domestik dalam tempoh dua tahun.
“Justeru, saya mahu melihat dan mendengar lebih banyak cerita kejayaan dan teladan yang boleh dicontohi baik dari koperasi bandar mahupun luar bandar, dari kluster yang besar hinggalah ke kluster mikro.
“Di Sabah, kita ada contoh koperasi berjaya seperti Koperasi Pelancongan Mukim Batu Puteh Kinabatangan Berhad (KOPEL) yang membangunkan sosioekonomi komuniti melalui aktiviti pelancongan dan kelestarian alam sekitar.
“Selain itu, antara contoh lain ialah Koperasi Kampung Magatang Keningau Berhad sebuah koperasi luar bandar yang berjaya menjalankan aktiviti pemborongan dan peruncitan yang membantu akses penduduk kepada perkhidmatan dan barangan keperluan harian secara tetap dan berterusan pada harga yang berpatutan,” katanya

KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) menolak sekeras-kerasnya dakwaan Barisan Nasional (BN) Sabah bahawa GRS mengisytiharkan perang terhadap BN seperti yang dituduh pengerusinya, semalam.
Pengerusi GRS, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor, berkata GRS tidak pernah mengisytiharkan perang terhadap BN seperti yang didakwa oleh Datuk Bung Moktar Radin.
“Kita tidak ada apa-apa alasan atau perlunya isytihar perang terhadap BN. Malah, dalam pilihan raya baru-baru ini, kita (GRS) dan saya sendiri turun padang berkempen untuk membantu calon BN di kawasan mereka,” kata Hajiji.
Hajiji yang juga Ketua Menteri berkata janji sebelum pilihan raya antara GRS dan BN adalah untuk GRS memberi sokongan terhadap UMNO/BN seandainya parti tersebut layak menjadi Perdana Menteri dan membentuk Kerajaan.
“Bagaimanapun, apabila BN kalah dan UMNO tidak layak menjadi Perdana Menteri, maka perjanjian itu tidak sah dengan sendirinya.
“Perlu ditegaskan juga bahawa tiada janji sebelum pilihan raya dengan orang (pihak) lain termasuk dengan Pakatan Harapan (PH),” katanya menerusi satu kenyataannya di sini pada Selasa.
Hajiji juga menafikan dakwaan bahawa beliau bersama Ahli Parlimen PKDM (Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat) dan Bebas telah menemui Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin di kediaman pemimpin berkenaan di Kuala Lumpur.
“Mereka berjumpa dengan Tan Sri (Muhyiddin) atas kerelaan mereka sendiri dan saya tidak terlibat langsung pada perjumpaan tersebut” katanya.
“Saya berharap UMNO/BN akan terus bekerjasama dalam mentadbir negeri ini selaras dengan mandat yang diberikan rakyat kepada kerajaan GRS-BN pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-16 (PRN16) yang lalu,” kata Hajiji.

KOTA KINABALU: The State Government is setting up a Sabah Convention Bureau (SCB) that is expected to be operational by early next year, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
“The SCB is a much-needed facility to tap into tourism-based Business Events to further make Sabah a preferred destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions/Events. This will be a boost for tourism in Sabah,” he said at the official opening of Hyatt Centric today.
His speech was delivered by Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Industrial Development Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Joachim Gunsalam.
Hajiji was pleased to note that with all recovery efforts in place, Sabah has managed to register 1.2 million domestic and international visitor arrivals from January to September this year with an estimated tourism receipt of RM2.1 billion.
“It is good news that Sabah will have additional 24 international flights per week beginning 5th December next month to 1st January next year from Taipei, Narita, Busan and Hong Kong which will add 52 per cent to the current international seat capacity,” he said.
With this latest development, the Chief Minister was confident that Sabah’s visitor arrivals would surpass the 1.3 million target set for this year.
“What all this means is that Sabah is open for business and for visitors. We are exploring various ways to enhance our tourism, recognising its importance as an economic catalyst. This will enhance our competitiveness as we want to ensure that Sabah remains one of Malaysia’s favourite tourism destinations,” he said.
Hajiji said new hotel developments such as the Hyatt Centric bode well for the tourism industry which was the worst-hit sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not only it has caused a drastic drop in tourist arrivals but also in all corresponding businesses, big and small, he said, adding that for Sabah, this was close to near disaster seeing that tourism generated the biggest revenue for Sabah pre-pandemic.
However, the State Government did not let up in its efforts to manage the challenges and in the short span of taking over the government administration, a state’s development roadmap to provide clarity on Sabah’s key focus areas, especially for businesses and investors was formulated.
“Tourism was one of the three key thrusts in addition to Agriculture and Industry. To cushion the impact, we have this year dispensed RM227.4 million to the tourism sector to support and revive the industry.
“This included empowering local communities through participation in the Rural Tourism Development Programme under the Sabah Tourism Board. Others were recovery initiatives on international impactful high visibility, joint promotional destination campaigns with industry and airlines as well as media Familiarisation programmes,” he said.
Direct scheduled flights were re-instated as well as with established long-haul connectivity and in addition, the Special Airlines Incentives to airlines were also introduced to encourage airlines to resume international routes into Sabah.
“As of this month, six airlines have resumed their international routes to Kota Kinabalu,” he said.
Hajiji also congratulated Hyatt for teaming up with Hap Seng to bring the Hyatt Centric project to fruition.
“Hyatt’s investment exemplified a bigger strategy and that is to make a sound investment where it counts. To have another Hyatt landmark here in Kota Kinabalu is a boon as we opened our borders not too long ago to visitors. I am sure many eager travellers will find a niche in your modern vibrant lifestyle hotel,” he said.
Hajiji said the State Government will continue its efforts to push the investment momentum whereby the Malaysian Investment Development Authority or MIDA has listed Sabah as having secured RM12 billion worth of foreign direct investments and RM942 million in domestic investments from January to October 2022.

KEMABONG: Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor berkata Tenom yang berpotensi besar dalam sektor pertanian dan pelancongan penting diwakili oleh Ahli Parlimen daripada kerajaan.
Ini kerana katanya, kerajaan mahu suara penduduk di Tenom dan Sabah secara keseluruhannya dibawa ke Parlimen.
Sehubungan itu Ketua Menteri berkata, adalah penting untuk rakyat di kawasan itu memilih calon Parlimen Tenom, Jamawi Jaafar, pada hari pengundian, Sabtu ini.
“Calon anak muda ini (Jamawi) adalah calon yang sesuai dan perlu diberi peluang untuk menyuarakan hasrat dan harapan rakyat Sabah. Saya memberi keyakinan penuh kepada beliau sebagai calon kerajaan.
“Jamawi adalah calon kerajaan negeri dan saya hanya menyokong calon daripada kerajaan dan bukannya calon lain, bukan calon pembangkang, bukan calon Warisan, bukan calon Pakatan Harapan dan bukan calon bebas,” katanya ketika berucap pada Majlis Pemimpin bersama Rakyat di Dataran Kemabong, di sini semalam.
Sementara itu, dalam majlis berasingan, Ketua Menteri berkata kemenangan calon BN bagi Parlimen Pensiangan adalah kemenangan kerajaan GRS-BN.
“Justeru, sekali lagi saya minta mandat daripada rakyat untuk memilih calon kerajaan negeri bagi Pensiangan ini. Janganlah kita harap kepada Parti Warisan, Harapan, KDM dan Pejuang kerana sandaran kita adalah kepada anak muda ini, Datuk Arthur Joseph Kurup.
“Apa kita harap pada calon lain yang menjadi pembangkang kepada kerajaan negeri dan Persekutuan. Kita jangan salah pilih, terpengaruh dengan dakyah pembangkang,” katanya.

TAWAU: A bill that will pave the way for the formation of the Sabah Energy Commission will be tabled at the State Legislative Assembly in April next year, saidChief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor.
With the setting up of the Sabah Energy Commission, the state will have total control of the management of its energy resources, especially electricity, he said.
“This is part of the GRS-BN State Government’s demand in relation to our rights in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63),” he said at the meet-the-people session cum dinner at SJK (C) Kung Ming Hall here last night.
Together with him were GRS-BN candidate for Tawau, Lo Su Fui and Kalabakan, Datuk Andi Muhammad Suryady Bandy.
The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah chairman urged Tawau voters to cast their votes carefully and choose a representative who has their welfare at heart.
He said the GRS-BN candidate for Tawau, Lo Su Fui was born and bred in Tawau, so he really understand the needs of the people here.
He said the cooperation between GRS and Barisan Nasional that was forged before the 2020 state election and was the best way for Sabah to move forward.
“This is the only way for us to develop Sabah and this cooperation must be translated into votes for the GRS-BN candidates in the 15th General Election,” he said.
Hajiji said Warisan was jealous of the GRS-BN State Government for having developed Sabah through the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ).
“They (Warisan) did not have such plan (when they were in government), they did not have a clear programme or platform. But the GRS-BN State Government, wehavetheSMJ, which is the slogan on our State crest that was formulated by taking into account the manifesto that we have offered the people,” he said.
Hajiji said several projects would commence next year here including construction of the Jalan Utara Tawau and the RM400 million Cinta mata Tawau Water Treatment Plant.
Taking into account Tawau’s active participation in the advancement of culture, he said the GRS-BN State Government will build a Tawau International Cultural Centre (TICC).
Most importantly, he said was the people’s wellbeing and the State Government has been working to get a better return from its oil and gas sector through Petronas.
“All these revenues will be channelled back to the people. There is no use for us to talk about mega projects but the people remain poor,” he said.
Based on his observation, the Chief Minister was upbeat with the chances of Lo and Andi who is also Tanjung Batu Assemblyman in the November 19 elections.
Some 1,000 people attended the dinner including Special Tasks and Coordination Minister Datuk Arifin Arif, Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, Balung Assemblyman Datuk Hamil Awang, Kukusan Assemblywoman Rina Jainal, former State Speaker Datuk Syed Abas Syed Ali, GRS and BN component party leaders.
