KUCHING, Nov 8: Improved road and bridge connectivity in Baram is helping open up previously isolated rural areas, paving the way for new economic opportunities through modern technology.

According to Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, better infrastructure and connectivity would link Baram to other areas, creating opportunities for more inclusive development.

“With these connectivity links in place, the area will no longer be isolated.

“With new technology, we can develop Baram. Among the possibilities is the use of modern technology such as carbon trading,” he said at a Deepavali open house luncheon hosted by Sri Maha Mariamman Temple Association Kuching president Dato Shankar Ram Asnani here today, as reported by the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS).
