Sarawak Business Federation (SBF) president Datuk Abang Abdul Karim Tun Openg said “More development projects, more bridges, hospitals and schools are needed. These are issues very important to us. We want to see progress and a developed state in 10 years’ time,” when asked on SBF’s wish list for Budget 2020, which will be tabled in Parliament on Oct 11.
