MASIDI also spoke about the importance of political stability, arguing that Sabah cannot be compared to Sarawak because Sabah has experienced 16 changes of chief minister while Sarawak has had only six.
This, he said, reflects decades of political turbulence that hinder development.

He maintained that GRS had shown that with stability, state revenue and savings increase, social programmes expand and development becomes consistent.
He appealed to the people of Sook and Pensiangan to evaluate candidates rationally rather than emotionally.
He said if voters elect both a federal minister and a state minister from the constituency, the area would enjoy greater development opportunities.
“If one becomes a federal minister and one becomes a state minister, kiri makan (the left benefits), kanan pun makan (the right benefits too),” he said.
