"NOW IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SABAH AND SARAWAK TO CATCH UP IN DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PRIME MINISTER AND HIS DEPUTY TAN SRI MUHYIDDIN YASSIN,"

"I look forward to seeing the two states that lag behind in development and has many rural poor, benefiting particularly from the three NKRAs through access to affordable and quality education, improving infrastructure in rural areas and raising the living standards of the poor.

"This is the first time a national initiative is laid out where the government is goal driven and result oriented. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is brave to lay out the NKRAs as it would be risky to fail to achieve them. His action shows his sincerity, and confidence,"

"Now is the opportunity for Sabah and Sarawak to catch up in development under the administration of the Prime Minister and his deputy Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin,"

"Hence, I urge the opposition to join hands in supporting the NKRA because their success will benefit everyone,"

"The NKRA goals and objectives will cost money but at the end of the day when it is achieved the people of Sabah and Sarawak will be one of the beneficiaries,"

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili
