MATUNGGONG: Efforts to elevate Matunggong from a sub-district to a full district are now at the final stage, said Sabah Minister of Women, Health and People’s Wellbeing and Matunggong Assemblywoman Datuk Julita Majungki.
She said the main matter that remains to be resolved is reaching an agreement on the boundary lines with Kota Marudu and Kudat before the next phase of the process can begin.
“The effort is now very close to the final stage. Once an agreement on the boundary lines is reached, we can proceed to the next phase,” she said when attending the PDM Kandawayon Kaamatan Thanksgiving Celebration here on 15 August.
“As an elected representative who is part of the government, we have greater access to help move this matter forward. However, all processes must be carried out in accordance with the established administrative procedures and requirements,” she said.
Meanwhile, Julita said PDM Kandawayon, along with the other 11 polling district centres (PDMs) in the Matunggong constituency, would be given priority in considering development applications, in line with the needs of their respective areas.
She said this included applications for community facilities, which would be assessed based on the scale of the projects and the appropriate allocation channels.
At the same programme, 10 former members of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) Matunggong, led by former STAR State Strategic Director Dr Paul Porodong, submitted applications to join Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).
Julita, who is also PBS Secretary-General, welcomed the development and described it as a sign of confidence in PBS’ struggle and the party’s efforts to continue representing the voices and interests of the people of Matunggong.
