Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has advised Sabah UMNO members to continue to work for the welfare of the people.

Wanita UMNO Exco member Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said the UMNO president urged members to go to the ground to solve the people's problems.

"This advice by Datuk Seri Najib is important because he is concerned with the development in Sabah. He is a role model because as the prime minister, he can choose to stay in Kuala Lumpur, but he always come to Sabah so that we do not feel marginalised."

Rosnah, who is also Deputy Minister of Works and Member of Parliament for Papar was speaking to reporters after a meeting between Sabah UMNO leaders and the prime minister here, last night.
