Sarawak in a sentence

The ‘Aku Ingin Hidup’ discourse, held for the first time in Sarawak and the 11th time across Malaysia, brought together cancer survivors, associations, and NGOs not only from Sarawak but also Kuala Lumpur and Penang.

The event, which started on Thursday, was organised by the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development in partnership with Curtin University Malaysia, Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus and University of Technology Sarawak.

He added that Sarawak is opening opportunities to the private sector to work together with Sarawak Energy to develop the energy sector.

This milestone was achieved when the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly passed the Sarawak Ombudsman Ordinance, 2023, on Nov 20, last year.

Apart from providing flights in the plan, he said Sarawak also needed to have trained individuals capable of accompanying or assisting those who want to perform the umrah or haj departing from Sarawak too.

He was appalled that Dr Sim had failed to understand the meaning of the words in the Bill, and reiterated during a recent press conference that “you must be born in Sarawak” in order to stand as a candidate in Sarawak state election.

Now, Sarawak is excited to bring these ancient Malaysians home to be placed at the state’s newly completed Sarawak Museum Complex.

Tan is also the managing director for Sarawak Shell Bhd (Sarawak Shell) and Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Ltd.

He went on to say that although Sarawak held the largest share of Malaysia’s remaining gas reserve he was not satisfied with the existing development of the oil and gas industry in Sarawak.

In this respect, he hopes that they would do Sarawak a little favour by ‘telling their folk back home’ about how much they have been enjoying the ‘Sarawak experience’ here.

July 22 was declared by the late Sarawak chief minister Adenan Satem in 2016 as Sarawak’s public holiday to honour past leaders and improve historical awareness among the people.

Met post-conference, Abang Johari said the Sarawak government was concerned about the diesel subsidies made available to schools across Sarawak.

Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen says July 22 is not Sarawak’s independence day.

According to Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) general manager Dr Zaidi Razak, the authority is in the midst of discussion with foreign entities to pave the way for Sarawak Pay to go abroad.

He added that the state government, through Syarikat Top Fruits (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd, had successfully exported, for the first time in Sarawak’s history, 16 tonnes of frozen durian paste to Guangdong, China, during the recent durian season in Kuching.

On the forum, the chief minister viewed it as a platform for Sarawak to set up smart partnerships among members of Asean and other Asian countries in promoting digital tourism slated for Sarawak’s mutual growth and benefits.

Sanib also said the seminar participants agreed to urge the state government to reactivate Lembaga Adat Istiadat Melayu Sarawak as stipulated in the Islamic Council Ordinance of Sarawak to operate and function as soon as possible.

The statement was signed by Fidzuan, Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen and Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian.

This in spite of the fact that federal government knows very well that Sarawak needs more fund for rural infrastructures and also the fact that Sarawak’s contribution to federal revenue is substantial.

Thus, we are hoping that the local councils all over Sarawak take this problem seriously and rectify the major problems, as a way to further improve tourism development in Sarawak,” he said.
