Kota kinabalu: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has urged the opposition to stop making empty promises ahead of the state election, saying the people of Sabah want real solutions, not political rhetoric. According to BERNAMA News Agency, Hajiji described the opposition's behavior as that of 'snake oil salesmen', claiming they can resolve Sabah's water problems within a year or produce 50,000 engineers in a short time, which he said were unrealistic promises. He emphasized that the people are yearning for real solutions and a better life, rather than illusions that deceive. Hajiji, who is also the Sabah Chief Minister, expressed that the people are now wiser and can distinguish who is truly capable of governing Sabah well versus those who thrive on rhetoric. He made these remarks during the launch of the party machinery, attended by other notable political figures including acting Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam and United Sabah National Organisat ion (USNO) president Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia. Hajiji highlighted that the GRS government has demonstrated its capability and efficiency in steering the state towards significant achievements over the past five years through the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development framework. He noted that the state government has achieved its highest-ever revenue, with notable growth in the industrial, tourism, and agricultural sectors, alongside strengthening education and human capital development initiatives. On infrastructure development, Hajiji mentioned that the state government is implementing 18 water projects across Sabah to ensure a stable supply of treated water, including treatment plant projects in Tawau and Papar. He expressed confidence that GRS would secure victory in the upcoming election and urged party machinery in all 73 state constituencies to work diligently towards this goal. Regarding seat distribution, Hajiji stated that all matters have been resolved amicably with component parties and partners.
