WHEN the design team behind Dream Home Makeover of China chose Tawau in Sabah as the location for their first international project, they showcased the immense power of art as a constructive force. At the same time, another artist, Fahmi Reza from Peninsular Malaysia, sparked controversy in Kota Kinabalu with his provocative and divisive artwork. This contrast demonstrates the dual nature of art—it can either build and inspire or provoke and alienate.

TODAY, I would like to discuss the responsibilities of a Sabah minister and critique politicians who only engage in performative politics. As ministers in Sabah, their duties are not limited to superficial tasks, but rather they bear greater responsibility in striving for the development of Sabah and the rights of its people.

When I was younger, I didn’t fully understand these concepts, but as I gradually became involved in society, I realised the importance of Sabah’s administrative structure to each of us.

Official government websites provide a reliable, secure, and accessible platform for disseminating crucial information.

These portals are properly organised, allowing for easy navigation, and they offer a controlled environment where citizens can access verified, up-to-date content directly from the government. Unlike social media platforms, government websites are undistracted by irrelevant content and/or advertisements, and provide a clear, focused space for essential updates.

Verse 1 

In restless days when the sun would rise, we wandered the streets with blinded eyes. 

In crowded places, hearts filled with doubt, lost in the noise, caught in the shout. 

Chorus

And the glory’s long gone, echoes of laughter fade with the dawn. 

Rights, slipping slowly, unnoticed, unseen, in the silence, where hope used to be.

Verse 2
