KOTA KINABALU: Government-linked companies (GLCs) must play a more proactive role with integrity in line with Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) aspirations, Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said on Thursday.
He said this should be anchored on good governance, management efficiency and returns that benefit the state’s development and the wellbeing of the people.
