Sabah Chief Minister's 59th birthday

The merry month of March
The merry month of March

March is special to Sabah chief minister Musa Aman as he cuts a giant cake to mark his 59th birthday on March 30. It also marks his seventh year as chief minister of the resource-rich east Malaysian state. The celebration is well deserved: he has steered his state to prosperity amid a global recession. The North Borneo island state is booming. It is cash-rich with 2 billion ringgit ($606m) in reserves. State secretary Sukarti Wakiman (right) and executives of Sutera Harbour share his joy at a luncheon with staff of the chief minister's department.

Chief Minister Musa Aman lit a torch on October 9 in Kota Kinabalu to launch the final lap of a five-month long Chinese cultural torch run. It is the precursor to a one-million ringgit ($320,000) national Chinese cultural festival on November 11 at the Likas Sports Complex in Kota Kinabalu. The Sabah government has donated 200,000 ringgit to it and Prime Minister Najib Razak is expected to launch the festival in its 28th year. (The date coincides with Fasching, a street carnival in Germany and Austria where people dressed in costumes parade and dance in the streets.) -- Picture by Victor Lo
