The development of Sabah and Sarawak is still far behind when compared to the Peninsular region.
HARAPAN will strive to bridge the development gap between Sabah and Sarawak and the Peninsular region. Talent development and increased access to healthcare will form the core of this implementation.
National Administrative Coordination Council
Establishing the National Administrative Coordination Council involving agencies that operate autonomously for the regions of Sabah, Sarawak, and the Peninsula.
Deputy Prime Minister from Sabah & Sarawak
To facilitate the administration of the National Administrative Coordination Council, two (2) Deputy Prime Ministers will be appointed. One from the Borneo regions and one from the Peninsula.
Access to Specialist Health Services
Expand the coverage of specialist medical services such as the Heart Unit and Cancer Unit to general hospitals in other high-density areas, especially Sandakan and Tawau in the eastern part of Sabah and the central and northern areas of Sarawak.
Higher Education & TVET
Two new Public Higher Education Institutes (IPTA) will be built in Sabah & Sarawak and the integration of TVET education will be reinforced. This initiative will be a catalyst for efforts to attract more talented teachers and train more Sabah & Sarawak children who are eligible to enter higher education. At the same time, this will create more employment and education opportunities for Sabah & Sarawak.
