Shafie Apdal, at a ceramah in Pasir Gudang, said that Sabah has so many natural resources but Sabahans are forced to look for jobs in Peninsular Malaysia.
He pledged to create job opportunities for Sabahans if the Opposition wrests control of the state government from Barisan Nasional.
He said Sabah was a state rich in oil and gas, timber and tin, but all this wealth was not felt by its people.
"Our state has so many natural resources, but our people can't find enough jobs in Sabah, and are forced to travel to Peninsular Malaysia in search of a job.
"The state and a few people are rich, while Sabah citizens are poor and neglected," he said.
