Sabah revenue hits RM6.97 billion: Hajiji says GRS State Government may see full term

Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

Fabian, who hails from Penampang, is more than willing to play the State's ambassador in tourism.

"I believe what is in Sabah shouldn't stay in Sabah," she said. "I am passionate about tourism and I served, for a short period of time, as a tour guide.

"I will promote the Mengalum Island during the national finals as it is an unpolluted island with white sandy beaches. At night, the beach will glitter with Ostracod Crustaceans, or commonly known as 'Blue Tears'. I was lucky enough to see it with my own eyes and will definitely recommend it to others," she said.

Ban and Apin, who won RM2,000 plus a Canon PS N2 Camera worth RM1,059; and RM1,500 plus Canon PS SX400IS, respectively, also felt they could contribute to the tourism sector as ambassadors.
