Sarawak's Chief Minister, Abang Johari Openg, expressed the state's clear plan to ensure the region continues to prosper and remain content within Malaysia's progressive and stable vision, with the state's economic development playing a crucial role in national growth. The plan encompasses strengthening the economic sector, manpower, industry, and technology, as well as expanding cross-river development.
Speaking at the National Malaysia 2026 Commemoration in the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Openg stated that the state aims to ensure the progress achieved not only benefits the people of Sarawak but also contributes to Malaysia's overall development and prosperity. He also welcomed the Federal Government's commitment to strengthening the 1963 Malaysia Agreement (MA63), including agreeing to reserve at least one-third of parliamentary seats for Sarawak and Sabah, determining a revenue-sharing formula that favors Sarawak, and enhancing cooperation in the tourism sector.
Openg believes these steps will open the way for a more robust collaboration between the central and Sarawak governments. He expressed hope that such commitments will foster an understanding that recognizing the rights and uniqueness of Sabah and Sarawak is part of the national agenda.
