KUCHING, Nov 4: Sarawak’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) must balance commercial performance with their responsibility to support the State’s economic development priorities, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“As their roles evolve, we must ensure that they operate with clear mandates, sound governance and strong accountability while maintaining the commercial discipline needed to remain sustainable and competitive,” he said when officiating at the Civil Service Day 2026 celebration at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) today.
Abang Johari called for closer cooperation among SOEs, government-linked companies (GLCs), the private sector, investors, universities, research institutions and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to create more opportunities for investment, innovation and economic growth.
