KUCHING, Oct 27: Sarawak must retain the right to decide who enters, works and settles in the State while pursuing a planned population growth strategy to support economic expansion, attract investment and secure a brighter future for its people.
Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Youth chief Ir Christopher Gira Sambang said Sarawak should adopt a strategic approach to population growth, including studying a long-term target of around five million people, including lawful foreign residents, to strengthen domestic demand, expand business opportunities and enhance the State’s attractiveness to investors.
Gira expressed full support for Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg’s firm stance on safeguarding Sarawak’s borders, security and social harmony.
