Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak delivering the Budget 2013 speech which was
telecast live from Parliament house in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Musa
said Najib had once again proven his sincerity towards the people in
Sabah through allocations for various development projects and
initiatives as announced under the Budget.
“It takes into account the interests, prosperity, wishes and the needs
of all groups of people – the farmers, fishermen, youth, women, civil
servants, the private sector, the disabled as well as business and
corporate communities.
“I
particularly thank the Prime Minister, who has through this people’s
budget continued to give attention and commitment to us in Sabah,” he
told reporters at Sri Gaya after watching the live telecast of the
tabling of the Budget yesterday.
He said the state government also highly welcomed the announcement of
RM386 million to standardise the prices of daily goods in Sabah with
that in PeninsularMalaysia.
Musa, who is also Finance Minister, also commended the federal
government for continuing the Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M), which now
covers single individuals with incomes below RM2,000.
Describing the 2013 Budget as ‘people-oriented and people-friendly’, he
said the new government spending plan was sincere, inclusive and had
realistically taken into account the interests and needs of all groups.
He added the new budget, which also emphasises on human capital
development, would be able to boost Malaysia’s economic development
towards achieving high income status.
“As such, I hope all parties, namely leaders, civil servants, the
private sector and the citizens in general wil continue strengthening
their commitment and work with the federal government to realise the
agenda of this Budget, especially in terms of the state’s development
and the prosperity of its people,” he said.
