KUCHING: Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan
Sri Adenan Satem will bring more people-friendly policies and development
progress.
These are expected to be implemented in the
years to come, said Head of the State Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.
“I am confident that under the leadership
of the Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem, many policies,
programmes and development projects will be introduced and implemented, to
ensure the continuation of development and the prosperity for the people,” said
Taib in his opening speech during the 18th State Legislative Assembly held at
State Legislative Assembly building, Petra Jaya, yesterday.
He added with all the deputy chief
ministers, ministers and assistant ministers appointed to their respective positions,
it is clear that the Chief Minister had formed a strong team through a
combination of old and new faces in the State Cabinet this time.
Taib noted with the new State Cabinet and
their portfolios, he believed that the responsibility and duty of the ministers
and ministries were more robust and focused in accelerating the development of
Sarawak.
“I have high confidence that the new
cabinet line-up will be able to fulfil its mandate and responsibilities with
integrity, commitment and dedication.
“The people have given their great support
and mandate to the Barisan Nasional (BN) to form a strong and stable State
government.
“With the advent of political stability, it
will make it easier for the State to formulate and implement development
policies and taking care of the people,” he said.
He also pointed that the BN manifesto had
been accepted by the people because of the comprehensiveness of the manifesto
which covered various aspects such as
the socio-economic development, preservation of the environment and defending
the rights of the people and the State in Malaysia.
“I believe that the State government will
fulfil the promises that have been made during the State election campaign and
fulfil these responsibilities with honesty and sincerity in the interest and
welfare of the people and the development of Sarawak State,” said Taib.
Meanwhile, he also congratulated all the
newly elected assemblypersons and reminded them to serve the people with their
best services in addressing the problems and issues of the people.
He said all the honorable members who had
been elected must shoulder the expectations and the needs of the people.
“They are the intermediates in the
presentation of information on government policies and development agenda to
the public and they are also responsible for identifying issues and problems
faced by the people and thus help the government and elected representatives to
find the best solutions,” said Taib.
He also advised them to always stay close
to the people as it was important in order for them to understand the pulse of
the people in effort to solve their issues and problems quickly and
effectively.
“They (assemblypersons) also must always
maintain a good relationship with the government and the people as it is
crucial in order to enable the development to be carried out smoothly and
successfully in their respective areas,” he said.
