Call for polytechnic branch in Kota Marudu for Northern Sabah youths

Published on: Monday, June 30, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 30, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government has been urged to establish a Polytechnic branch in Kota Marudu to cater to students and youth in northern Sabah. Former Kota Marudu Assistant District Education Officer, Jimson Majemal, said the town's central location among districts like Kota Belud, Kudat, Pitas, Sandakan, Beluran, and Ranau makes it ideal for such an institution. 'Kota Marudu deserves a polytechnic due to its strategic position and ongoing development,' said Jimson, who is also Acting President of Kota Marudu SAFA. He added that the Madani government must be responsive to rural youth needs, citing the presence of other institutions such as UMS in Sandakan, UiTM in Tawau, and IPG in Keningau as examples of balanced regional development. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Call to prioritise solutions, not political rhetoric

Published on: Monday, June 30, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 30, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) Deputy President Datuk Robert Tawik has called for unity and responsible dialogue in addressing Sabah's development issues, urging political players to focus on solutions rather than rhetoric. Responding to recent remarks by Sabah Umno Youth Vice Chief Bobby Balang, Robert defended Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor's call for public discernment amid widespread social media misinformation. 'The Chief Minister never questioned Sabahans' intelligence, he urged wisdom in navigating unverified claims,' he said. Robert reaffirmed GRS's commitment to transparency, adding that corruption will not be tolerated and institutional integrity remains a priority. He acknowledged ongoing challenges in infrastructure and utilities, but stressed that the current administration has acted to resolve inherited issues. 'Development isn't a cover for corruption , it's our mission. Real progress needs both better infrastructure and public trust,' he said. He urged all parties, especially federal unity government partners, to engage constructively saying Sabahans need solutions, not soundbites. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
