CM hails Juhar's significant contributions to Sabah

Chief Minister Hajiji Noor commended Juhar Mahiruddin for his remarkable service and dedication during his 14-year tenure as Sabah governor, describing his contributions as invaluable to the state.

Hajiji said Juhar had navigated Sabah through numerous significant events and developments across various domains, including the political, economic, security, health, education and religious spheres.

The chief minister said that Juhar (above) also bore witness to several historic events in Sabah, including the 2013 Lahad Datu intrusion and the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The people of Sabah, regardless of race, culture, religion or beliefs, have consistently shown their affection and care towards Tun (Juhar) and his wife (Toh Puan Norlidah RM Jasni) in every programme they have graced.

“The state leadership and the people of Sabah extend our deepest gratitude to Tun for his exemplary leadership over the past 14 years and pray for continued blessings and well-being for him and his wife in their next journey,” he said during the appreciation and tribute dinner held for Juhar in Kota Kinabalu last night.

Juhar’s tenure as the 10th Sabah governor will conclude today, and former chief minister Musa Aman is set to replace him effective Wednesday (Jan 1).

Juhar and Norlidah arrived at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) at 8.10pm yesterday, accompanied by Hajiji and his wife, Juliah Salag, to attend the event.

The dinner was also graced by federal and state ministers, members of the state cabinet, assemblypersons, federal and state government officials and honorary consuls.

Organised by the state government, the event commenced with the singing of the national anthem, Negaraku, and Sabah anthem, Sabah Tanah Airku, followed by a welcoming traditional dance performance and the chief minister’s address.
