Claims by opposition parties that Sabah is discriminated by the federal government are mere lies.

Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the prime minister and his deputy often visit the state to address people problems.

"This is the way of Barisan Nasional leaders far away in Kuala Lumpur. They are willing to come down to the ground and meet with people of Sabah," he said at 'Karnival Jalinan Kasih' organised by the Training and Research Bureau of Kalabakan UMNO division here, Sunday.

Musa, who is also Sabah UMNO liaison chairman said the people should be wise and not to be influenced by the lies spread by opposition parties.

He reminded the people of Sabah to be wary of the good deeds done by the government and should reciprocate them. --Bernama
