Sabah under Harris: A collection of speeches by Datuk Harris bin Mohd Salleh as Chief Minister of Sabah 1976-1985
For nearly nine years Datuk Harris bin Mohd Salleh administered the East Malaysian State of Sabah, as party president and Chief Minister under Berjaya party (Bersatu Rakyat Jelata Sabah = Sabah People's Union) rule. Under his vigorous leadership, the party embarked on a comprehensive and sustained programme of economic and social development with marked success in its first five eventful years in office between 1976 and 1981. Declining revenues due to falling commodity prices combined with mismanagement and wasteful expenditure in certain Government departments, however, took much of the glow of development. The book presents a collection of speeches made by this famous politician, therefore reflecting Berjaya rule in Sabah during 1976-1985. (DÜI-Sbt)
