KOTA KINABALU: Kerajaan negeri akan memperluaskan jumlah Kawasan Dilindungi Sepenuhnya (TPA) di bawah inisiatif Heart of Borneo (HoB) yang meliputi 30 peratus keluasan negeri ini menjelang tahun 2025.
Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor, berkata pada masa ini lebih 26 peratus keluasan tanah negeri ini atau 1.9 juta hektar sudah diwartakan sebagai TPA di bawah inisiatif HoB.
Sabah telah mencapai kemajuan yang membanggakan dalam pemuliharaan hutan sejak penubuhan Inisiatif HoB 14 tahun lalu, katanya sambil menambah bahawa 75 peratus daripada 1.9 juta hektar TPA terletak dalam sempadan Malaysia di Borneo.
Sasaran pengembangan TPA adalah sejajar dengan pelan pembangunan lima tahun Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 2021– 2025 yang mana Inisiatif HoB termasuk dalam Jaringan Infrastruktur dan Kelestarian Hijau, katanya.
“Berdasarkan usaha bersepadu yang kami lakukan, Sabah telah mengekalkan sebanyak 50 peratus daripada keluasan negeri ini di bawah perlindungan hutan dan kita telah meningkatkan kawasan litupan hutan kepada 65 peratus yang mana 52 peratus daripadanya diwartakan sebagai Hutan Simpan, Taman dan Kawasan Konservasi Hidupan Liar. Projek HoB telah memulihkan 2,000 hektar hutan simpan,” katanya
Ketika merasmikan persidangan antarabangsa HoB yang pertama secara maya: “Inisiatif HoB – Melangkah ke Hadapan dalam Norma Baharu” hari ini, Hajiji berkata Sabah juga menjadi negeri pertama di negara ini yang melancarkan Amalan Baik Peraturan (Good Regulatory Practice), mencontohi langkah yang diperkenalkan Kerajaan Persekutuan.
Sehubungan itu Ketua Menteri, berkata Sabah akan melaksanakan Pengurusan Landskap Bersepadu HoB di bawah ‘Global Environment Facility-funded, Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration Impact Programme (FOLURIP), sebuah projek yang memfokuskan kepada pengurusan pembangunan tanah dan alam sekitar.
“Projek enam tahun ini membabitkan sebanyak 1.6 juta hektar dalam landskap HoB, dengan kos RM30.3 juta atau (USD7.3 million) akan dibiayai oleh Global Environment Facility (GEF), di bawah Program Pembangunan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UNDP).
“Sabah juga akan terlibat dalam satu lagi program yang dibiayai UNDP iaitu projek BIOFIN berkaitan Pemuliharaan Kewangan di negeri ini,” katanya.
Katanya, Sabah telah menjalinkan kerjasama dengan pelbagai rakan kongsi, melaksanakan 79 Memorandum Persefahaman (MoU) dan Memorandum Perjanjian (MoA) beberapa tahun lalu.
“Hari ini, kami akan menambah sebanyak lapan lagi MoU dalam senarai itu,” katanya.
Ketua Menteri berkata sejak 2009 Kerajaan Persekutuan telah menyalurkan sebanyak RM47 juta untuk Inisiatif HoB dan di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12 (RMK-12) Kerajaan Persekutuan telah menjanjikan tambahan RM13 juta.
Hajiji berkata, sejak tahun 2007, sebanyak 22 pos lapangan telah diwujudkan untuk meningkatkan penguatkuasaan di dalam hutan simpan Sabah.
“Jabatan Perhutanan Sabah telah menubuhkan pasukan taktikal elit dikenali sebagai PROTECT iaitu skuad khas anti pemburuan haram untuk membantu penguatkuasaan logistik dan pasukan itu bekerjasama rapat dengan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) melalui Operasi Khazanah, bagi memeriksa isu berkaitan pencerobohan hutan.
“Bagi mengukuhkan lagi penguatkuasaan, kami telah melibatkan masyarakat setempat untuk berkhidmat sebagai Renjer Hutan Kehormat, dan hari ini kami mempunyai 112 renjer daripada 700 penduduk kampung,” katanya.
Pada masa sama, katanya Sabah telah menganjurkan 42 ekspedisi saintifik dalam sempadan HoB termasuk 1,800 pelajar tempatan dari 34 sekolah terlibat dalam program kesedaran HoB.
Beliau berkata ekspedisi penyelidikan ini telah menghasilkan beberapa penemuan saintifik utama, antaranya, pokok hutan hujan tertinggi di dunia di Kawasan Pemuliharaan Lembah Danum, Lahad Datu, dan penemuan Langur Hose endemik Borneo yang jarang ditemui di Maligan, Sipitang.
“Hasil daripada ekspedisi itu akan menjadi panduan kepada Kerajaan Negeri dalam merangka Rancangan Pemuliharaan khususnya di kawasan Nilai Konservasi Tinggi,” katanya.
Hajiji berkata sama seperti pelaksanaan Majlis Tindakan Perubahan Iklim Malaysia (MyCAC) di peringkat Persekutuan untuk melihat isu perubahan iklim, Sabah juga akan mempunyai platform CAC sendiri untuk membincangkan dasar dan tindakan perubahan iklim, memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi hijau, memangkin kehijauan, teknologi dan pertumbuhan rendah karbon.
“Sabah akan menjalankan perdagangan karbon dengan berhati-hati supaya aktiviti seperti itu tidak menjejaskan komitmen pelepasan gas rumah hijau (GHG) negara,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Hajiji berkata persidangan tahun ini akan membantu kerajaan mengumpul sumber bagi merangka Pelan Tindakan Strategik (SPA) ketiga bagi inisiatif itu.
SPA, pertama kali disediakan pada 2013 dan akan siap menjelang 2022.
Beliau juga gembira melihat usaha berterusan dalam penyelidikan oleh saintis dan penulis di HoB yang telah menghasilkan beberapa penerbitan seperti yang dibuktikan dengan penerbitan dua buku baharu oleh Markus Gubilil bertajuk “Senarai Semak Pokok Sabah – edisi baharu” dan “Panduan Bergambar. Likofit dan Paku Pakis di Sabah,”

KOTA KINABALU: The State Government will expand the Total Protected Areas (TPAs) under the Heart of Borneo (HoB) Initiative to cover 30 per cent of Sabah’s landmass by 2025.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said currently more than 26 per cent of the State’s land area or 1.9 million hectares has been gazetted as TPAs under the HoB Initiative.
Sabah has achieved significant progress in forest conservation since the inception of the HoB Initiative 14 years ago, he said while adding that 75 per cent of the 1.9 million hectares TPAs are located within the Malaysian boundary in Borneo.
The TPAs expansion target is in line with Sabah’s five-year development plan, the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 2021 – 2025 which has included the HoB Initiative in the Green Infrastructure and Sustainability Networks, he said.
“From our concerted efforts, Sabah has maintained 50 per cent of its landmass under forest covers and we have increased forest covers to 65 per cent of which 52 per cent are gazetted as Forest Reserves, Parks and Wildlife Conservation Areas. The HoB Project has restored 2,000 hectares of forest reserves,” he said.
Officiating at the first virtual international conference on HoB: “HoB Initiative – Moving Forward in the New Norm” today, Hajiji said Sabah was also the first state in the country to launch its Good Regulatory Practice, emulating the move mooted by the Federal Government.
In relation, the Chief Minister said Sabah will be implementing the Integrated Landscape Management of Heart of Borneo Landscapes under the Global Environment Facility- funded, Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration Impact Programme (FOLUR IP), a project that focuses on environmental and land development management.
“The six-year project involves 1.6 million hectares within the HoB landscape, costing USD7.3 million (RM30.3 million) to be funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
“Sabah will also be involved in another UNDP-funded programme, the BIOFIN project, on Conservation Finance in the State,” he said.
According to him, Sabah has engaged with various partners, executing 79 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and Memoranda of Agreement (MoAs) in past years.
“Today, we will add another eight MoUs to the list,” he said.
The Chief Minister said since 2009 the Federal Government has channeled RM47 million for the HoB Initiative and under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) the Federal Government has pledged an additional RM13 million.
Hajiji said since 2007, a total of 22 field outposts have been established to enhance enforcement within Sabah’s forest reserves.
“The Sabah Forestry Department has established an elite tactical team called PROTECT, a special anti-poaching squad to assist in enforcement logistics and the team is working closely with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) through the Khazanah Operation, to check forest encroachment issues.
“To further strengthen enforcement, we have engaged with local communities to serve as Honorary Forest Rangers, and today we have 112 of such Rangers from 700 villagers,” he said.
At the same time, he said Sabah has hosted 42 scientific expeditions within the HoB boundary including 1,800 local students from 34 schools involved in the HoB awareness programme.
He said these research expeditions have yielded several key scientific discoveries, among them, the world’s tallest rainforest trees at the Danum Valley Conservation Area, Lahad Datu, and the discovery of the rare, elusive Bornean endemic Hose’s Langur in Maligan, Sipitang.
“Results from the expeditions will guide the State Government in formulating the Conservation Plan particularly in the High Conservation Value areas,” he said.
Hajiji said just like the implementation of the Malaysian Climate Change Action Council (MyCAC) at the Federal level to look at climate change issues, Sabah too would have its own CAC platform to discuss climate change policies and actions, drive green economic growth, catalyse green technology and low-carbon growth.
“Sabah will carry out carbon trading carefully so that such activities do not affect the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions commitment,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hajiji said this year’s conference will assist the Government to gather resources to formulate its third Strategic Plan of Action (SPA) for the initiative. The SPA, first prepared in 2013, will be completed by 2022.
He was also glad to see the continuing efforts in research by scientists and writers at HoB which have yielded several publications as evidenced by the publications of two new books by Markus Gubilil entitled “A Checklist of Trees of Sabah – new edition” and “Panduan Bergambar Likofit dan Paku Pakis di Sabah.”

KOTA KINABALU: More affordable homes including those under the People’s Housing Programme (PPR) will be built in Sabah in line with the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya 1.0 development plan.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said the Sabah Housing and Town Development Board (LPPB) was in the midst of constructing 175 low- cost houses in Kemabong, Sukau, Melalap and Beluran under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP).
“It is hoped that efforts taken by the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government will be able to provide opportunities to more people owning a house. The GRS government will ensure more affordable houses be built in the state,” he said.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony for the proposed development of 441 condominium units at Signal Hill here on Tuesday, Hajiji said the LPPB has completed 29,218 low-cost houses throughout the state since the first Malaysia Plan until the 11MP.
At the same time, 32 PPR projects have been built in Sabah consisting 21,800 units of houses.
Four PPR projects are currently under construction in Pitas, Tagasan (Semporna), Kionsom (Inanam) and Lahad Datu.
On the condominium project that is being undertaken by the Rural Development Ministry through MARA together with the State Government, the Chief Minister said it was a good project since it could attract interests of foreign investors to Sabah, through the Malaysia My Second Home programme.
The project also offers a potential job opportunity to 1,000 locals apart from creating an economic spin-off in the surrounding area, he said.
“I believe the timing of the project is right because the State Government has succeeded in attracting several new investments in the manufacturing and tourism sectors,” he said, adding that these investors would definitely be needing basic amenities including houses.

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Government will continue to provide assistance to families so that they can proceed with their lives in the post-pandemic era.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said various aids have been given particularly to affected families.
“Assistance in the form of food and monies have been handed out through the Bantuan Sabah Prihatin (BSP) 1.0, 2.0 and the latest 3.0 to those whose income have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.
Speaking in conjunction with the state-level Malaysia Family Month launch organised by the State National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) today, the Chief Minister said finding by the studies on the parental challenges and stress in facing the new wave of Covid-19 pandemic had shown that 79.9 per cent of the families have been affected by the third wave.
“Therefore, it is only pertinent that the family institution must be given support in handling Covid-19-related issues. We are fortunate that our country’s leaders are committed to restoring the nation from the problems and effects of the pandemic.
“The Prime Minister’s Malaysia Family approach is most apt,” he said.
Hajiji said a survey on the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the behaviour and livelihood, working from home as well as family planning conducted by LPPKN in the country showed that one out of four respondents said there was a big change in their lives.
The most glaring effect was on the family financial management with 49 per cent of respondents no longer eating outside, 44 per cent cutting down monthly expenses, another 40 per cent having to dig out their savings and 28 per cent having to look for part time jobs in the gig economy.
“Although we have to live with Covid-19, it should not be an obstacle for us to strengthen our family relationship. A strong parent-children bond will act as the first line of defence to help family members who are facing stress and negative effects due to the pandemic,” he said.
The Chief Minister hoped the private sectors, NGOs and community would also do their part to ensure the family well-being programmes can be implemented successfully.
“I also hope the Malaysia Family Month, which is celebrated every November will be able to unite the Malaysia families to face the economic and Covid-19 crisis,” he said.

KOTA BELUD: The State and Federal Government has allocated nearly RM25 million to implement development and basic amenities projects for the benefit of the people in the district this year.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said under the State 2021 Budget, RM17.07 million was allocated to the district office as part of the plans to ensure objectives in the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) could be achieved.
The Federal Government had channeled a further RM7.9 million to the district office.
“The Government will continue to implement various development programmes for the benefit of the people in the district,” he said at the opening of the Tamu Besar at Dewan Tun Said here on Saturday.
His speech was read by Usukan Assemblyman Datuk Seri Panglima Salleh Tun Said Keruak.
The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) State Government also gave a special allocation of RM6.5 million this year for the upgrading works of the flood-prone Lebak Moyoh round about area.
Lebak Moyoh round about is located right in the middle of the main route connecting the state capital to the northern parts of Sabah.
“The upgrading works is 64 per cent completed. I am sure once completed, road users traveling along the route will be more comfortable (as they no longer have to face flood whenever it rains),” he said.
The Chief Minister said through the Public Works Department (PWD), the government had approved the construction of the Pan Borneo Highway spanning
32.2 km across the district from Pituru to Rampayan.
Pituru is connected to Serusup in Tuaran via a 20.7 km long Pan Borneo Highway package that is expected to be implemented this December.
The government has also repaired and constructed 23 of the 47 dilipidated schools in Kota Belud, he said.
Hajiji said the government was also concerned with the plight of the local tourism entrepreneurs who were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kota Belud has been a favourite tourist destination and among its main attractions is the community-based rural tourism in Kadamaian initiated by the Sabah Tourism Board in 2014.
“The government will always support and provide assistance so that the tourism sector will continue to move forward,” he said.
At the same time, the Chief Minister congratulated Kota Belud District Office for launching the Kota Belud District Strategic Plan 2020-2030.
“The plan will be a guide for all development and infrastructure plannings to lift the socio-economic wellbeing of the people the district, which is in line with the SMJ aspirations,” he said.
In this respect, he hoped no one will be sidelined from the development plan and that it would be successfully implemented.
