PETALING JAYA: Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg has dismissed Alexander Nanta Linggi’s suggestion that the state introduces its own currency, saying it was just the latter’s personal view.
Yesterday, Nanta, who is the Gabungan Parti Sarawak secretary-general, said the state could consider introducing its own currency in light of the country’s unpredictable economy.“That’s just Nanta’s personal view. We already have a Malaysian currency, so we have to stick to it,” Abang Johari was quoted as saying by Berita Harian. He added that introducing a separate currency for Sarawak was a complex issue that would require detailed study.
