IT is a RM64 million question. Who wants to be poor? Not a single Sabahan would. But many politicians have destined Sabah to be poor. Why do I say this?

January 2023=22,510, December 2023=17850, March 2024=13,179 These official figures are dramatic manifestation of Hajiji’s efforts to reduce hardcore poor in Sabah from January 2023 to 1st Q 2024. Impressive results.
Those of us who are in their 60 and older will remember the glorious days of Sabah from the 60s to mid-80s. The golden era of Tun Mustapha and Tan Sri Harris was to be remembered and relished.
