MUKAH: Sarawak must think and act fast to adapt to drastic changes in the world economy to prepare the younger generations to meet global workforce challenges.
Head of State Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said that being underpopulated the plan to develop Sarawak on the economics of scale was near impossible.
