Chief Minister Datuk Seri
Panglima Musa Hj. Aman paid tribute to surveyors in his speech at the 30th
Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) Sabah Branch Annual Dinner and
Installation Night cum Charity Dinner.
His speech was read by
Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Resource Development and Information
Technology Datuk Dr. Yee Moh Chai who represented him at the dinner function.
Acknowledging the role that
surveyors play in the construction industry and the development of Sabah the
Chief Minister urged surveyors to uphold the high standard of their profession
to develop and move the local property and construction industry to greater
heights.
According to Musa, Sabah's property
and construction sectors have seen rapid growth over the last few years. He
said this has been possible because of the political stability coupled with a
vibrant economy, making the property sector one of the most attractive avenues
for investment.
Musa's optimism was well
justified by the sale of 1,500 commercial and residential properties, totaling
RM650 million during the four-day exhibition organized by SHAREDA.
During the four-day property
exhibition (PROPEX) in Kota Kinabalu last month, 37 housing developers gathered
to sell RM2.6 billion worth of commercial and residential properties, made up
of approximately 6,000 properties, with prices ranging from RM150,000 to RM3
million.
According to RISM Incoming
Chairman, Surveyor Mariah Othman, the net proceeds from the sale of dinner
tables at the RISM Annual Dinner would be fully donated to the Rumah Anak Yatim
Al Aman in Beaufort and the Jireh Home in Tuaran.
The dinner collected a total
amount of RM49, 800, to be evenly split between the two homes. (Insight Sabah)
