KOTA KINABALU: As 2024 comes to a close and we prepare to welcome 2025, it is important to take a moment for reflection and contemplation.
In the context of Sabah, we have faced various challenges, including incidents of mismanagement and the need to address concerns about alleged open corrupt practices.
This presents an opportunity to come together, learn from our experiences, and strive for a brighter future. “Those who fail to learn from history doom themselves to repeat it.”
In 2025, the people of Sabah will have the opportunity to participate in the 17th Sabah State Election, where they will elect new representatives to guide and manage the State Government.
This election is crucial for shaping the future of our community, and we sincerely hope for a positive outcome that reflects the needs and aspirations of the people.
We need to understand the importance of accountability and collaboration, and we genuinely hope that the new members of ADUN will come together to support one another.
By creating a positive environment and meaningful improvements.
The political landscape in Sabah currently faces a significant shortage of young, knowledgeable, and charismatic politicians. Research shows that the life expectancy in Malaysia is around 78 years.
As a result, baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are primarily retirees and established politicians in Sabah.
These presented Sabahan with an awful option of recycled politicians and those coaxed out of retirement to take on leadership roles once more.
The reference to “young” meant individuals aged between 30 and 55 years old, specifically Generation X (born between 1965 and 1979) and millennials (1981 to 1996). You are the next generation entrusted with managing our state and its resources.
The greedy ones will try their best to cling to power, citing much work that needs to be done.
As we step into 2025, let us embrace the opportunity to plant new seeds of hope and growth.
We will have the chance to reap the rewards of our hard work. Wishing you all a joyful and fulfilling New Year!
