The coalition says its six-pillar manifesto is designed to close Sabah’s development gaps, expand economic zones, and deliver long-delayed infrastructure upgrades

KOTA KINABALU: Barisan Nasional (BN) has pledged to build 15,000 affordable homes a year under its Rumah SabahKu programme if it is given the mandate to form the next Sabah government.
The initiative, unveiled in its Rancangan Pembangunan Sabah Satu manifesto, aims to help B40 and M40 families own their first homes, alongside a special repair fund for households affected by natural disasters.
Another key proposal is the creation of a ‘Sabah Wealth Fund’, a long-term savings and investment vehicle funded by the state’s natural resources, strategic investments, GLCs, the private sector, and Petronas.
BN said the fund would serve as a financial buffer for future generations and a safeguard for Sabah’s economic sovereignty.
The coalition has also vowed to push for the construction of a new international airport, arguing that expanded capacity is needed to cope with rising passenger and cargo demand.
In addition, BN plans to open a new port in Kudat, complete with a free trade zone, to stimulate northern Sabah’s economic growth.
It further pledged to complete the Pan Borneo Highway within five years, alongside ongoing upgrades and new rural link roads to ensure what it describes as a “balanced and sustained economic spillover” across the state.
