Sabah Barisan Nasional chief Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the people would greatly benefit if Barisan Nasional was elected to represent the Sungai Limau state constituency.
He said the coalition was capable of bringing development to the entire community to benefit the future generations.

He gave an example of when Sabah was under the opposition in the early 1990s, and how such the change had affected the people.

BN's return to power in 1994 helped brought prosperity which the people in Sabah craved for.

"People suffered when there was little development in Sabah during the opposition rule," said Musa after attending a community programme at Kampung Selengkoh, Sungai Limau today.

Musa, who is Sabah Chief Minister said Sabah and Kedah shared similarities such as with their vibrant agricultural sector.

The first Malaysian to fly solo around the world, Captain James Anthony Tan (pic), was commissioned as a Captain (Honorary) in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF)'s volunteer reserve team today.

Air Force chief General Tan Sri Datuk Seri Rodzali Daud said Tan's appointment, which was affirmed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on September 19, was for gaining world recognition for Malaysia in the Guiness Book of Records, World Record Academy and Malaysia Book of Records as the youngest pilot to successfully complete a solo flight through his 1Malaysia Around The World mission.

"With this appointment he will be the RMAF's icon and will be involved in the various programmes including for Youth Day.

"The aim is to draw more youth to join the team," he said after the ceremony at Wisma Pertahanan in Kuala Lumpur.

Also present were Tan's parents Tan On Chin and Olive Beverly Tan.

Originally from Sungai Long, 22-year-old Tan set off on a Cessna Silver Eagle P 210T on March 28 this year from Subang Skypark and returned on May 14.

He took 48 days, 20 countries and 30 stops, covering 21,103 nautical miles to complete the mission.

Prior to this achievement, Tan had also earned a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records in 2012 for his solo flight on an SR22 single piston aircraft spanning 13,803 nautical miles from the United Kingdom (UK) to Bangkok, Thailand and back to the UK.

Rodzali said the young pilot's success reflected excellence, physical resilience, mental strength, focus and high endurance in facing challenges, which should be emulated by the young generation in the country.

Tan said that he never thought he would be receiving the prestigious award, and could not wait to get involved in the RMAF programmes, particularly giving motivational talks to the youth.

"I am not stingy with my knowledge, I prefer to share what I learned because I believe there are many opportunities that can be exploited by the youth in this industry (aviation)," he said.

Presently, the only other individual to have received an honorary commission from the RMAF is squash queen Datuk Nicol Ann David who is an honorary Major in the volunteer reserve team. – Bernama, November 1, 2013.
