Sarawakians residing inWest Malaysia will have the opportunity to learn more about the development which the State Government is currently doing in Sarawak.
Coordinator for the booths and exhibitions of Lan Berambeh Anak Sarawak, Dato Sri Rohani Abdul Karim said that disseminating and sharing of information will enable Sarawakians working and studying in West Malaysia understand what the State Government is doing.

“We want to share with Sarawakians who are working and studying in West Malaysia on the developments and updates which the State Government is doing including information on education opportunities and employments.
“I encourage Sarawakians working and studying here, to please join us in Lan Berambeh Anak Sarawak 2018 and see for yourself, get the first hand information what the State Government is doing like updates on Petros, Development Bank of Sarawak (DBOS) and many more.
“You will also get better view and accurate information rather than what has been shared in the social media which may not be accurate,” said Rohani when speaking to the Sarawak based local radio station, here.
Apart from the booths and exhibitions, a town hall session with the Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg will also be held during the event to highlight the directions of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
