2 months’ bonus for Sarawak civil servants

Sarawak's premier, Abang Johari Openg, has announced a special financial assistance (BKK) for civil servants, equivalent to two months' salary. This decision comes as the state's revenue performance for the first six months of the year has been among the highest ever recorded. While the exact figure has not been disclosed, Premier Openg expressed confidence in the strong revenue performance, stating that he has reviewed the figures and is ready to announce it when the Sarawak budget is presented.

At a recent event in Sarikei, Openg highlighted the focus of the state government on developing Sarikei through tourism, green economy, and high-value agriculture sectors until 2030. He also mentioned the potential of Sarikei's extensive mangrove forests in the global carbon economy and efforts to extend the runway at Tanjung Manis Airport to accommodate ATR aircraft operated by Airborneo.

Additionally, the premier announced the addition of ten dialysis machines at Sarikei Hospital to cater to the increasing number of patients.
