KUCHING, Oct 5: Investment and international partnerships in Sarawak must build the State’s own capabilities rather than create long-term dependence on external expertise, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He said investors and international partners should strengthen links with Sarawakian talent, local businesses, research institutions and supply chains so that investment creates lasting value beyond immediate economic gains.
“At the same time, these partnerships should strengthen our own capabilities. We want investment and collaboration to create stronger links with Sarawakian talent, local businesses, research institutions and supply chains, so that the benefits extend beyond immediate economic activity and contribute to our development over the longer term,” he said.
