Construction industry players can contribute positively to Sabah's economy - Musa

KOTA KINABALU, June 10 (Bernama) -- Sabah hopes construction industry players understand the objective of government transformation programmes in order for them to contribute positively in the context of economic diversification.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the construction industry is regarded as an important asset in terms of contribution to nation building.
"Builders add value to the economy by transforming barren land into shopping centres, houses and other supporting infrastructure.
I would like to stress the importance of state and federal plans to bring progress, to improve livelihood and to bridge regional divide not only between the Peninsular and Sabah, but also within the state," he said at the Sabah Kin Cho Hong Association's (Sabah Construction Association) 37th anniversary dinner here tonight.
The text of his speech was delivered by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai.
Musa also said the association could act as a bridge between the government and construction sector by communicating important information to both quarters.
It could provide timely feedback to the government on issues that the industry faces so that the government could act on them.
"Let me assure you that the Barisan Nasional government is aware of matters raised and we are constantly striving to find ways to facilitate the smooth running of various industries in Malaysia, including the construction industry.
"It is also in the government』s best interest to ensure that the construction industry is able to flourish in order to stimulate economic growth and create jobs," he added.
