“We found that the previous government had not been giving its fullest attention to Sarawak. If we are to compare, then we are looking at an oil-rich Sarawak but yet development in the state is not equally distributed among Sarawakians themselves and also between Sarawak and the Peninsula. “The reality is that although Sarawak was very much larger than other states in the Peninsula, development here is lagging behind, except in the urban areas. In the rural areas, we find the situation there is not to what we desire.
“We want this shared prosperity to be achieved at the end of our hard work, and not just at the beginning This time we want to ensure the underprivileged are given opportunities, on the condition that they work hard and fully use these opportunities, and not just to sell out their licences and contracts.
