KOTA KINABALU : – Although GRS originally comprised eight local parties, it has since been reduced to six following the departures of STAR and SAPP as they chart their own paths.
Despite this, GRS remains the best option for guiding Sabah toward a brighter future.
Since its inception, GRS has prioritized consensus, actively listening to the voices of the people, and tirelessly working to fulfill the hopes and aspirations of Sabahans.
Facing numerous challenges, especially in revitalizing the state’s economy, GRS has demonstrated resilience and unwavering determination.
The coalition’s commitment to economic transformation has established a solid foundation for sustained growth and prosperity.
The unemployment among youths in Sabah, which had been a critical issue, has been effectively addressed through proactive measures taken by the GRS government, reducing youth unemployment to 6.2% this year.
With the tourism, agricultural, and industrial sectors set to experience remarkable growth, employment opportunities for our youths will be more accessible, ensuring a brighter future for Sabah’s younger generation.
The progress in economic and social sectors highlights the positive impact of GRS’s leadership.
Today, Sabah is experiencing impressive progress, an inspiring trajectory toward a better tomorrow.
One of GRS’s most notable achievements is in revenue generation.
From a modest RM 4 billion in 2020, state revenue has surged, projecting between RM 9 billion and RM 10 billion this year, an outstanding accomplishment that surpasses previous administrations.
This economic momentum is a testament to GRS’s effective policies and visionary leadership.
This remarkable growth has translated into tangible benefits for the people, with Sabah’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expected to increase by approximately 5.2% annually, as outlined in the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030).
Such growth promises new opportunities, improved livelihoods, and a more inclusive economy where Sabahans can truly thrive.
As we continue this journey toward greater prosperity, GRS remains Sabah’s beacon of hope and stability.
Looking forward, let us stay united in faith and confidence, confident that the best days are still ahead.
With GRS and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Hj Noor at the helm for the next five years, Sabah is destined for a future filled with hope, progress, and limitless possibilities.
