He said Sarawak currently ranked fourth behind Penang, Selangor and Johor, but was narrowing the gap with Selangor and Johor.
“We can become the second major exporter for the whole Malaysian economy,” he said as expansion of the state's industrial base and investments in energy-related projects would further strengthen its export capacity, the Borneo Post reported.
