KUCHING, July 16 — Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg last night expressed his fear that the federal government might withdraw development funds to Sarawak because it has been categorised as a high income state.

He said the federal government must not withdraw the allocations because Sarawak has a lot to do to raise the income of the rural people. The premier noted that Sarawak has been categorised as a high income state by a credible bank based on the Gross National Index per capita while Malaysia is assessed as a middle high income country.

He said Sarawak is not a party to the World Bank, which is also monitoring the economies of the nations in the world. “What we are doing now is we are going to have a policy to distribute that wealth to the people through our various projects under the Post-Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030, meaning that our ultimate objective is to upgrade the economic and social status of the rural people by giving them basic infrastructure and talent development to the young people so that Sarawak can push ahead, thereby increasing the household income of the rural people.
