Besides that, he said the state under the leadership of Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg was also strengthening the state’s economy through its oil and gas industry, hydrogen industry, and setting up of the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
“At the same time, we will continue the fight to ensure children of Sarawak have a good education as they are the future generation who will be the game changer to Sarawak.”
When asked if the TGM would see election of its party delegates, he said there might be election of the party’s supreme working council members (MKT) to unearth new talents for the future.
