MIRI, June 13 — The state cannot be too dependent on foreign labour from Indonesia, said Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“Our employment is there but our manpower is not enough, this becomes our problem. The project is running but slow due to not enough workers. We can vary construction materials, if it goes up, we can increase the order variation.” He said those in the oil palm industry are also complaining about a shortage of workers.
“There is nothing wrong if we use a new way to manage the oil palm estate by using technology such as tractors and sensors. Do not depend on Indonesia as the archipelago is also building,” he said.
