KUCHING, Oct 5: The Sarawak government will support the construction of a new headquarters for the Sarawak Bumiputera Entrepreneurs Chamber (DUBS), which Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg says should reflect the chamber’s growing stature and the businesses it represents.

The headquarters, planned near the Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) building, will mark a new chapter for DUBS as it enters its fourth decade.

“The chamber must have an impressive headquarters that reflects its true quality and standing,” he said during the Sarawak Bumiputera Entrepreneurs Chamber (DUBS) 40th anniversary gala dinner here on Sunday (Oct 4).

However, he stressed that the new headquarters must be matched by a more forward-looking approach among Bumiputera entrepreneurs as Sarawak’s economy shifts towards higher-value industries.
