BINTULU: Sarawak's revenue is projected to reach RM15 billion in 2027, which will increase the state government's ability to expand welfare assistance, education and infrastructure development for the benefit of the people.

Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said that the initiative covers assistance to newborns, school students, students of institutions of higher learning (IPT) and the elderly.

"This is because efforts to improve the economy and the well-being of the people remain a priority of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Government, with education and infrastructure development continuing to be given attention in the state's development agenda," he said.

He said this while speaking at the ‘Sesi Randau’, here on Sunday.

In the aspect of infrastructure development, the Minister for Infrastructure and Port Development also touched on efforts to upgrade logging roads, including the route in the Tatau area to improve access and facilitate the movement of local residents.

Also present were Political Secretaries to the Sarawak Premier, Paulus Dandee Banyang and Petrus Igat Matias. -UKASnews
