Sabah Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, YB Datuk James Ratib, officiated the opening of the Sabah GLC Transformation Convention 2026 which took place at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC),

This convention is a strategic platform that reflects the firm commitment of Sabah's Government-Owned Companies (GLCs) to implement planned, strategic and high-impact changes for the future of the state.

In addition, Sabah GLCs are no longer just support entities, but have grown into the main strategic machinery for state development. The ability of GLCs to move quickly, be competitive, and always be adaptive to global changes will be a key determining factor in the direction and progress of Sabah's economy as a whole.

Therefore, true transformation is not cosmetic, but involves changing the way people think, make decisions and shoulder the trust of the people. The main focus of this transformation includes human capital development, the application of digital, automation and ethical artificial intelligence, as well as the empowerment of TVET and STEM to prepare Sabah's future workforce.

Finally, he reminded that the aspiration of Sabah Maju Jaya is not just a slogan, but a shared commitment that needs to be translated into effective implementation and a real impact on the people.
