Kota Kinabalu: The Local Government and Housing Ministry hopes the Housing and Urban Development Board (LPPB) will maintain its excellence in delivering services as a provider of affordable housing and new urban development in the State. Its Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam, said this is important to ensure the government's mandate is effectively translated for the benefit of the people. The Deputy Chief Minister said this when officiating the LPPB's 2025 Meriah Lain Macam Hari Raya Celebration at the Sabah International Convention Centre, here, Tuesday. He noted that this was his first time attending LPPB's Hari Raya celebration since being appointed to lead the Ministry. 'I hope LPPB staff will continue improving service quality and upholding excellence in fulfilling the mandate entrusted by the government. 'The LPPB plays a vital role as a provider of affordable low-cost housing and in developing quality new urban centres,' he said. Dr Joachim also expressed hope that the strategic relationship between the Ministry and LPPB would be further strengthened to ensure the public receives the best services. 'In line with this aspiration, I hope the bilateral cooperation between the Ministry and LPPB will remain strong so that service delivery to the community can be carried out proactively. 'These efforts must also align with the implementation of the Sabah Maju Jaya development plan, which prioritises the people's welfare,' he added. He also reminded LPPB staff to remain cautious and uphold integrity in carrying out their duties in today's fast-paced digital era. 'If I may remind you, in this digital age where information and events spread rapidly, exercise caution in performing your duties. 'Carry out your responsibilities with sincerity and accountability so that every action and decision brings benefit, not the opposite,' he said. Dr Joachim said unity, a family-like spirit and harmony within the organisation are key strengths that must be maintained to ensure the agency remains competitive and sustainable. The Hari Raya celebration was enlivened by various team-based competitions, such as Meriah Raya Kelap-Kelip and Paling Meriah Raya Bercucul. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
