KUCHING, Sept 1 — Sarawak may introduce its own currency if the less favourable economy in Malaysia persists, said federal Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
“If Sarawak is better than others, why not? This is what I’m trying to emphasise,” he said in a report bytoday, speaking in a podcast to mark National Day and Malaysia Day, entitled “From Malaya to Malaysia: 60 Years”.
