Sabah government prioritises youth concerns
Speaking at the 'Destinasi SMJ Anak Muda 2.0' forum at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) on Saturday (May 24), he told over 500 students that their issues are not being ignored, especially when it comes to education, job opportunities, and basic infrastructure,
"We are listening. The concerns of our youth, whether about water, education, or job opportunities, are not falling on deaf ears. The government is committed to delivering real, tangible solutions," he said.
He said that the government values youth perspectives and is serious about implementing policies that directly benefit younger generations.
The open dialogue is organised by the Institut Kerjasama Kerajaan dan Rakyat (Ikrar) under the Chief Minister's Department and provided a platform for students to express concerns and share ideas on development matters.
Among the topics raised were water supply issues on campus, Sabah's economic direction, student welfare, and the evolving job market.
The session, moderated by Ikrar director Azrul Ibrahim, was well-received, with many students appreciating the opportunity to engage directly with a senior government leader.
Masidi also encouraged youth to remain informed and actively involved in shaping the future of the state, adding that their energy and ideas are vital to Sabah's progress.

Zara case may rock Sabah polls
KOTA KINABALU: The Zara Qairina Mahathir case has not just opened an ugly can of worms over bullying at school; it could also cause political ripples ahead of the state election this year. The outpouring of emotions and anger across Sabah remains unabated even as Bukit Aman steps in to take a fresh look into the circumstances leading to the death of the 13-year-old Form 1 student after an apparent fall at her third-floor dormitory of a religious school in Papar. The perceived failure of the state police to carry out a transparent probe and alleged interference from 'hidden hands' have seen thousands attend #JusticeforZara rallies across Sabah, demanding answers over her death. Besides rallies in Sandakan and Tawau on Saturday, there was also a gathering in Labuan on Sunday. More than thousands people dressed in black participated in a peaceful rally called 'Justice for Zara,' which has since gained nationwide traction. - Credit photo: X Yesterday, over two dozen protesters marched from Tugu Negara in Kuala Lumpur to the Parliament building, before handing a memorandum to a group of MPs from both sides of the divide. Many perceive the Zara Qairina case as an institutional failure and injustice, says Universiti Malaysia Sabah senior lecturer Prof Dr Romzi Ationg. 'This collective emotional response is likely to influence voter sentiment, particularly on issues of justice, child safety, and trust in authorities, during the state election,' he said. The 17th Sabah state election has to be held before Nov 11, when the state assembly's term ends. Prof Romzi said voters might increasingly prioritise candidates and parties who commit to transparency, accountability and institutional reform, especially concerning education and law enforcement. 'Delays and lapses in the investigation have eroded public confidence,' he said. Prof Romzi said the government needed to mitigate the rising anger. 'They should consider setting up a transparent, independent inquiry, possibly via a multi-stakeholder panel,' he said. 'This panel must communicate clearly and with compassion, emphasising child protection and responsiveness to public concerns. 'Steps must also be taken to implement structural reforms such as anti-bullying protocols in schools, mandated safety measures in hostels and accessible reporting mechanisms.' Prof Romzi said the unprecedented large crowds were due to universal empathy and the perceived mishandling of the case – which saw a rapid burial without investigation – while speculative rumours intensified public frustration. 'The way leaders and institutions handle the issue in the next few weeks or months will decide whether this anger dissipates or solidifies into long-term resentment that influences voter behaviour,' he added. On social media, people shared that they attended the rallies because they wanted justice for Zara as well as answers. They do not want truth to be swept under the carpet. Christine B., a 38-year-old mother of three, admitted that it could affect her vote. 'Of course, it will affect the current government apart from other basic issues such as water and electricity cuts that we are already facing,' she said. Christine's thoughts were echoed by other mothers, which will add to the challenges for the state government led by the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-Pakatan Harapan coalition. As things stand, Pakatan candidates will not be challenged by either GRS or Barisan Nasional, but GRS and Barisan are expected to contest against each other. All three are part of the Federal unity government. 'There are already many infrastructure woes that the government has yet to address. The Zara case is another blow,' said Martha, a mother of two, who wants to see a real system in place for all schoolchildren. Pointing to viral recordings of conversations between Zara Qairina and her mother over bullying in school, Martha hopes the Bukit Aman probe will uncover the real truth. Zara Qairina, 13, was found unconscious near a drain close to her hostel building at the religious school in Papar on July 16. She subsequently died from the injuries the next day. The body of Zara Qairina, who was buried at her hometown in Mesapol, Sipitang, was exhumed on Saturday for a post-mortem before being re-buried. Bukit Aman has also formed a special team to investigate her death. Sabah Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Tun Musa Aman and senior political leaders including Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor have called for transparent investigations amid social media demands and speculations about her death. - THE STAR

YB glad Shafie failed in comeback via coup: Five Warisan leaders assured of Cabinet posts if coup succeeded
Published on: Wednesday, August 13, 2025 Published on: Wed, Aug 13, 2025 Text Size: Kunak assemblyman Norazlinah Arif says Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor is a fair and more accessible leader who does not place reliance on rhetoric. Kota Kinabalu: Kunak Assemblywoman Norazlinah Arif is grateful the attempted coup in Sabah on January 2023 failed due to a lack of support for Warisan President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal as the next chief minister. 'Many assemblymen, mainly from BN and PH, were also in favour of retaining the current administration (under Hajiji). 'For me, that was a sign that we were betrayed by a party that was supposedly championing the people's rights,' she said, recalling the incident that came to be known as 'the Kinabalu Move.' It was aimed at ousting Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor as Chief Minister and was the ultimate betrayal of Sabahans. She said she and several others were informed that four or five Warisan leaders would be named to the State Cabinet if they backed the Bung-led coup. Following its failure, Norazlinah and several other Warisan assemblymen threw their support behind Hajiji. Norazlinah was with Warisan in 2023 when the party, led by President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, plotted with Sabah Umno to replace the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah government. The two-term assemblywoman said Warisan members were hoping that the memorandum of understanding at the federal level that was struck earlier between the party, GRS, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan on Dec 16, 2022 would benefit the people. The intention was to back the newly established unity government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, she added. 'Our hope at the time was that the leaders of the respective parties and coalitions would unite to prioritise the rakyat above their personal interests or that of the party. 'Unfortunately, the opposite happened,' she said, referring to the failed 'coup' led by Sabah Umno. In January that year, Datuk Bung Moktar Radin, the Sabah Umno chief, announced that the party was withdrawing its support for Hajiji. However, six Umno assemblymen pledged continued support for Hajiji, foiling Bung's plans which had the backing of Warisan and Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat. The GRS assemblymen pledged their undivided support for Hajiji, who assumed the top post in September 2020 following a state election. Bung was subsequently dropped as the state's deputy chief minister. Norazlinah said there was nothing altruistic about the Kinabalu Move. Hajiji has treated us well The Kinabalu Move was the straw that broke the camel's back for Norazlinah. On Feb 6, 2023, she left Warisan, a party she had been with since its founding in 2016. She expressed no regrets for her decision, especially after aligning with Hajiji, whom she praised for addressing the people's issues through action rather than rhetoric. 'Hajiji treats all assemblymen fairly, myself included, despite the fact that I only recently joined GRS,' she said, adding that the chief minister was also more accessible. According to Norazalinah, there is talk of Warisan joining forces with BN for the coming state election, despite Shafie previously stating that the party intends to contest all 73 seats on its own. She said such talk contradicted Warisan's previous stance on an alliance with BN. 'When we first joined the party, we were indoctrinated to think that our mission was to topple BN. 'Their (Warisan's) ego is forcing them to forgo that very principle — all because they are power hungry.' * 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?
