Mocking GRS' SMJ slogan does not mean disrespect for Sabah motto, says Bung


KOTA KINABALU: People's criticism of the "Sabah Maju Jaya" (SMJ) slogan under the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) government does not reflect any disrespect to the official state motto, says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.

The Sabah Umno chairman said that the GRS government's use of the state's official motto as its call sign for development opens it up to either people supporting or criticising it based on the state government's efforts.
