KUCHING, Oct 12: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has criticised certain minority parties for allegedly using social media to create negative perceptions of Sarawak, saying the State government will not allow such efforts to derail its progress.

He said the spread of misleading information and falsehoods would only undermine collective efforts and disrupt the momentum Sarawak had worked hard to build.

“Whether driven by jealousy, an attempt to divert attention or other motives, the spread of misleading information and falsehoods serves only to undermine our collective efforts, and disrupt the momentum we have worked hard to build.

“Ultimately, we will not allow negativity to distract us from our mission, or derail Sarawak’s progress,” he said when tabling the Supply Bill (2027), 2026, or Sarawak Budget 2027, at the State Legislative Assembly (DUS) today.
