PUTATAN: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan today promised that the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) State Government will work towards the establishment of the Sabah Blood Centre by 2021, and allocating between 5% to 10% of the Putatan government land for housing purposes.
“We realize the need for us to donate blood, for us to save lives, and that is why I agree that the Kota Kinabalu Sabah Blood Centre needs to be created quickly. I and the YBs (people’s representatives) from the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah state government will ensure to put in the effort so that the blood centre in Kota Kinabalu can be established next year.

“I will discuss with the ministry to consider, at least, allocating 5% to 10% of the [government land]area for housing in Putatan. God Willing, we will do it,” he said.
