KUCHING: Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg will reveal more tools to widen Sarawak revenue pool in the upcoming State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting at the end of the year.
“Its premature for me to reveal now but wait for my budget speech at the end of the year. I have some ways to increase our revenue,” said Abang Johari when officiating Yayasan Sarawak Gawai Raya Celebration 2019 at Yayasan Sarawak’s Wisma Adenan at Jalan Sultan Tengah here today.
During his speech, Abang Johari lauded the roles and functions played by Yayasan Sarawak in contributing to the development of the local human capital and also lifting the standards of living amongst the community.
