Take the World Bank's report as an impetus for improvement

KOTA KINABALU, November 18, 2010: The State Government should take the recent World Bank's report that Sabah is still the poorest state in Malaysia as a constructive criticism and an impetus to double its efforts in poverty eradication, instead of being hostile and to swing into a 'total denial' state, said Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) supreme council, Chong Pit Fah.
He asserted that both the Federal and the State governments should acknowledge that there is still much to be done to address the high poverty rate in Sabah, and to quickly identify the problems hindering poverty eradication in Sabah.
