: The Sabah State Legislative Assembly sitting today passed the Government Trust Funds Bill 2023 to establish the State Government Special Trust Fund.
According to Hajiji, the special trust fund would assist the state government in carrying out various programmes or activities, particularly those involving contingencies such as disaster relief. He said all the allocations announced and channelled to Sabah should be managed by the state and not held by other parties.
However, Mohd Shafie suggested that there should be a term of reference in distributing the fund’s money, among which disaster allocations can only be used for relief and project allocations only for projects. He said the Sabah government was still negotiating with the federal government to keep the remaining allocation in the state and not be returned. Therefore support from all quarters, especially elected representatives, is crucial in realising the deal.
