KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has been assured by the Federal Government that proactive measures were in place to ensure fuel supplies were sufficient to meet the state's needs, says Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
The Chief Minister said the focus on supplies, particularly petrol and diesel, was key during a meeting with Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali at Menara Kinabalu on Tuesday (March 24).
He said the meeting focused on fuel supplies in Sabah amid concerns over potential stock-outs that could affect consumers and the continuity of the state economic sectors.
The Chief Minister emphasised the importance of a consistent fuel supply to support economic activities, including the logistics, fisheries and agriculture sectors which rely heavily on diesel.
At the meeting, Armizan assured that the Federal Government, through his ministry, were taking proactive measures to ensure that fuel supplies in Sabah remain sufficient and stable.
Armizan said close monitoring and ongoing coordination with relevant agencies will be strengthened to prevent any supply disruptions, especially in rural areas and critical sectors.
Earlier, Hajiji also received a courtesy visit from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Tan Sri Mohd Salim Fateh Din.
Mohd Salim briefed him on the progress of the National Digital Network Plan (Jendela) implementation in Sabah and the City Hall (DBKK) Smart City initiative.
