MARCH 12 — The Sarawak government has recently announced a wave of strategic initiatives, such as plans to establish its own airline and a ground-breaking move to offer free tertiary education to all.

A universal child benefit programme would provide direct financial assistance to families with children, regardless of their income level and without conditions. By lifting families out of poverty, Sarawak can break the persisting cycle of deprivation and create a brighter future for generations to come.

By providing financial support to families, we can ensure that every child has access to quality healthcare, education, and opportunities for personal growth. This, in turn, will lead to a more skilled and productive workforce, driving economic growth and prosperity across the state. To fund this programme, the Sarawak state can draw from its new state sovereign wealth fund and oil and gas revenue, alongside consolidating existing programmes such as the Endowment Fund Sarawak .

As the largest state in Malaysia, Sarawak wields significant influence, not only in terms of population but also in setting the tone for political public discourse.
