Anwar, who is also the PH chairman, said throughout his time as prime minister, Sabah has also been among the states receiving the largest allocation for the construction of various facilities, including schools.

“So, mothers with children, please remember this. Many schools have been built (in Sabah) since we took power.

“It’s okay to be a little angry and it’s okay to criticise. I am not angry because I understand that sometimes people are still struggling.

“But don’t say that we haven’t helped. This Pakatan Harapan government has helped the people of Sabah the most.

“That is why I ask for support for both PH candidates in the Elopura state seat, Vivian Wong, and the candidate for the Tanjung Papat state seat, Tang Szu Ching.”

He made the statement while speaking at a meet-and-greet session with Sandakan youths at the Kampung Sim Sim futsal court here today. It was attended by youths from the Elopura and Tanjung Papat state constituencies.

Anwar, who is also the PKR president, said the people of Sabah need to give their support to PH in the 17th Sabah state election so that the party will have a stronger voice and continue to look after the welfare of the state’s people.

He also stressed that Sabah needed a stable government, assisted by a reliable and responsible federal government.

That is why there must be cooperation between both governments for the sake of the state’s development and the well-being of the people, he added.

On the 40% revenue entitlement, Anwar gave a guarantee the issue would be resolved, saying the government was committed to fulfilling that promise.

“We have promised, we will execute it. This is not just talk like the previous government. We will do it,” he said.
