Shafie pledges ‘structural’ reforms to curb graft among Sabah’s reps
Warisan president Shafie Apdal has pledged to introduce “structural changes” to ensure Sabah’s assemblymen receive special funds and remain focused on serving the people instead of pursuing large projects and business relationships with contractors.
He said an administration headed by him would formalise an “improved salary system” for assemblymen, recalling how during his tenure, the state government increased the state secretary’s salary to curb corruption.
Shafie said Warisan’s goal is to form a clean and competent administration made up of professionals.
“Our party and government must be clean. We don’t want assemblymen who want to become businessmen after winning their seats.
“Your duty should be to help the rakyat,” he said at a ceramah in Sandakan tonight.
Shafie said all…
