KUCHING: Sarawak is prepared to reshape its industrial park development strategy with a stronger focus on future industries, high technology, and a low-carbon economy, said Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg.
He said the move was informed by lessons drawn from the successful development of the Suzhou industrial park in China, following discussions there during a working visit to the city.
Abang Johari said Sarawak is now moving towards a modern economy and that the approach to developing future industrial areas must be aligned with the requirements of a new economic era. Future industrial development in Sarawak would be anchored on low-carbon and high-technology principles, with the state’s gas resources utilised to support low-carbon industries by serving as a cleaner energy source.
