KUCHING, The Federal Government is confident that the development momentum in Sarawak can be further increased in the coming 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) based on the rapport forged with the state government.
Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said that in the two years since Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took over the federal leadership, development plans for Sarawak have been implemented much better and faster due to the harmonious relationships with the Sarawak government.
“The federal government’s policy now is very complementary in areas that are the focus of the state government. Everything planned by the Sarawak government now is in line with efforts at the federal level,’ he said.
Speaking to reporters after attending the 13MP engagement session with the Sarawak government here today, he said the Federal government had taken complementary action to launch the development process in Sarawak.
“Through some of the decisions made previously, in connection with letting the Sarawak government handle p
rojects on its own and so on, they are part of efforts to expedite the project implementation process,’ he said.
