KUCHING: The stability of Sarawak allows the government to focus on the state’s development agenda, ensuring the benefits of progress can be felt by all communities irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds.

Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Openg said the harmonious relations and close cooperation among the multiracial society form the foundation for the stability that enables continuous development of the state to be implemented.

“This situation allows Sarawak to remain stable, enabling us to focus on the state’s development for the benefit of every community in Sarawak,” he said.

He said this when speaking at the Federation of Chinese Associations Sarawak (FCAS) Installation Ceremony and Dinner here on Tuesday.

According to him, Sarawak’s development approach does not discriminate based on racial background but instead opens opportunities for all communities to participate in the state’s economic development and progress.

In this regard, Datuk Patinggi Abang Zohari emphasised the importance of multiracial collaboration to ensure society moves forward together in navigating economic changes and an increasingly challenging global landscape.

Also present were Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian, FCAS President Dato Sri Richard Wee and President of the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia Dato Lim Kah Chuan. -UKASnews
