Sabah paid four times higher than Sarawak for Pan Borneo Highway compensation because of existing road widths, says state works minister
“It’s appropriate for the complex to be referred as ‘Dewan Undangan Sarawak’ without the word ‘negeri’. The Deputy Minister in Sarawak Premier’s Department also pointed out the administration led by Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg should be referred as the ‘Sarawak government’, and not as ‘Sarawak state government’.In this regard, she further said her team had continuously been reviewing existing laws on potential amendments that needed to be introduced to reflect the position of Sarawak as a ‘wilayah’ , and not a mere state in the country.
When asked whether the word ‘negeri’ should be removed from the names of all government agencies and departments in Sarawak, she said the government would start with the name of the Legislative Assembly first, before proceeding with any further action.Additionally, the deputy minister said Abang Johari had always been seated with the deputy prime ministers at any federal functions, indicating the special position of Sarawak in the country.
