KUCHING, Sept 26 — Sarawak is set to create an authority to manage, develop and enhance the state's lake areas over the next five years, according to Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. The initiative is part of the state's comprehensive development plans and draws inspiration from successful approaches implemented by other regions that transformed lakes into popular resort destinations.
