Sabah CM Hajiji Rubs Off Dissolution Rumours, Maintains Stable Government
KOTA KINABALU: Speculation surrounding a possible Sabah state assembly dissolution has been swiftly quashed by Chief Minister Hajiji Noor's office. Reports suggesting Hajiji would request the dissolution tomorrow (July 28) to trigger state elections have been categorically denied, ensuring stability within the Sabah government.
The rumour mill had been churning, fuelled by political conjecture and whispers within Sabah’s dynamic political landscape. These rumours suggested a move towards early elections, potentially disrupting the state's ongoing development projects and administrative processes. However, the Chief Minister's office has issued a firm statement clarifying the situation.
“The rumours are false and baseless. The Chief Minister has no intention of seeking a dissolution of the state assembly at this time,” stated a spokesperson for Hajiji Noor. “The government is focused on delivering on its promises to the people of Sabah and ensuring the stability and progress of the state.”
This denial comes at a crucial time, as Sabah continues to navigate various economic and social challenges. The state government has been actively pursuing initiatives to boost tourism, strengthen infrastructure, and improve the livelihoods of Sabahans. A sudden election would have introduced uncertainty and potentially hampered these efforts.
Political analysts suggest that the rumours may have originated from within opposing parties seeking to create instability and capitalize on any perceived weaknesses within the ruling coalition. The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) coalition, led by Hajiji Noor, has demonstrated a commitment to unity and collaborative governance since coming into power. Maintaining this stability is deemed vital for the state's continued prosperity.
The Chief Minister’s office has urged the public to disregard unsubstantiated reports and rely on official sources for accurate information. They emphasized the government's dedication to transparency and accountability, assuring Sabahans that their interests remain the top priority. The focus now remains squarely on implementing the government’s agenda and addressing the needs of the community.
This decisive response from the Chief Minister's office effectively puts an end to the speculation and reinforces the stability of the Sabah government. The state can now continue its progress without the disruption of an early election campaign. Sabahans can expect continued focus on development and improved quality of life under the current leadership.
