Sarawak wants to continue prospering within Malaysia, says premier
Abang Johari Openg says the state government has clear plans to ensure it continues advancing within a 'progressive and stable' Malaysia.
Sarawak's premier, Abang Johari Openg, expressed optimism about the state's continued growth and prosperity within Malaysia. During the national-level Malaysia Day celebrations at the Borneo Convention Centre in Kuching, Openg outlined the Sarawak government's plans to bolster various sectors, including economic, energy, industrial, and technology development, as well as regional expansion. These initiatives aim to ensure Sarawak's indispensable role in the nation's economic progress.
Openg emphasized the Sarawak government's support for the federal government's commitment to fulfilling the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). This includes ensuring East Malaysia's parliamentary representation remains at no less than one-third, determining a fair revenue-sharing formula with Sarawak, and strengthening cooperation in the tourism sector.
By fostering these collaborative efforts, the Sarawak government hopes to cultivate a broader understanding of the importance of acknowledging Sabah and Sarawak's unique rights and privileges within the national agenda.
