MIRI, Oct 8 — Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg today attributed the state’s economic success to the fundamentals laid down over a course of 30 years by Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud when the latter was its chief minister.
“Through the construction of hydro dams, especially Bakun, Sarawak is able to provide a lot of energy with competitive electricity tariffs as an attraction to investors,” Abang Johari said in his speech to mark Taib’s 86th birthday celebration here. Abang Johari said Sarawak’s success under Taib’s leadership can be seen from the development of industrial zones such as Samajaya and Samalaju which provide job opportunities for thousands of Sarawakians, especially the youth.
The premier stressed that Sarawak is moving towards becoming a high-income developed state by 2030, the introduction of a digital economy based on data and innovation. He said the investment activities also depend on the state's ability to provide competitive electricity tariffs in the region.
