SFI : Betrayed Sabahans Warn 1.7 Voters of More GRS Failures

By Daniel John Jambun, 10-8-2025

THE people of Sipitang must remember one undeniable fact: under GRS’ watch, Sabah Forest Industries (SFI) — once a source of jobs, income, and pride — was allowed to go bankrupt.

Because of their negligence and incompetence, over 288,000 acres of land — almost the size of the entire Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur many times over — have now passed into the hands of outsiders.

If that land had been returned to the people of Sipitang at 15 acres per household, thousands of families could have owned land, built homes, farmed for income, and secured a future for their children.

Instead, GRS stood by as foreign and politically connected companies took control.

This is not just a loss of land — it is the loss of economic independence for generations of Sabahans, especially here in Sipitang.

Now they come asking for your votes again.

But why should Sipitang reward the very government that sold out its land and its people?

Warisan stands for returning land and resources to the people — not surrendering them to outside control. We will fight to ensure Sabah’s assets serve Sabahans first, not cronies and foreign companies.

On election day, Sipitang must send a clear message:

No more betrayal. No more sell-out. No more GRS.
