KUCHING: Sarawak Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Abdul Rahman Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Openg received a courtesy visit from Mayor of Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG), Dato’ Mustaffa Kamal Shamsudin at the Kompleks Satria Pertiwi, on Monday.

According to Dato’ Mustaffa, the meeting was among other efforts aimed at conveying appreciation for the contributions of Sarawakians in the development of various industries in Pasir Gudang since the early 1980s.

“Today, their role is expanding because it is not only limited to the manufacturing, commercial and housing development industries, but gradually more people are expanding their economic activities by being active in various business and service disciplines.

“New generations are increasingly successful at continuing their studies at various institutes of higher learning (IPT) including Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS),” he said in a statement.

He also touched on Sarawak’s new economic strategies such as methanol production, ammonia, hydrogen energy, floating solar energy and many others, which can open up more high-income job opportunities and support the agenda of free higher education and increased household income.

Also present were MBPG Deputy Secretary, Nor Rahman Mustaffa, Special Duties Officer to the Mayor, Dr. Norlina Muhammad, MBPG Member, Norizam Shah Md Yunus and MBPG Director of Public Health and Environment Muhammad, Razif Ramlan. -UKASnews
