I AM compelled to express my heartiest congratulations and high respect to Sabah’s government and opposition political leaders in exhibiting the rarest unity of support for Hajiji’s move to relax the Covid-19 SOP in Sabah on 28 June 2021. It has never happened since Malaysia Day.
Never would I have dreamed that this historical unique political unity can happen in my life time.
Hopefully, this unity for Sabah, one for all, all for one will be extended to our fight for equity in economic development.
THERE IS HOPE FOR SABAH in our fight to recover from Covid-19 and beyond.
There is always a silver lining in every storm. The underperforming GLCs can be likened a huge damaging financial/economic storm. But there are some, unfortunately not many, performing GLCs which are Sabah’s silver linings. Thank God for small blessings. Here are some of them—- [1] Kinabalu Sawit, [2] Cement Industry Sabah, [3] Asean Supply Base [4] Lahad Datu Flour Mill, [5] Nippon Paint. [6] Sabah Soft Wood. [7] KKIP. [8] Sabah Net. [9] Sabah International Petroleum. [10] Angkatan Hebat. [11] Common Tower Technology. [12] Progressive Insurance. [13] Sabah Energy Corporation. [14] Tanjong Aru Resort [STAR] [15] Hyatt International

THANKS for the many calls, messages and suggestions on my article on Sabah’s GLCs 11 April 2021. Many expressed grave concerns on the dire circumstances of some GLCs and their overall negative impacts on Sabah’s economy.
Some gave very useful suggestions and recommendations. Common desire, as it should be, is that current GLC situation must not, should not be allowed to continue.
There must be a thorough review and transformation. To encourage further discourse on the GLCs, here are some of my further comments.
Causes of Most GLCs’ Failure.
