KUCHING: The Opposition should be more responsible by suppor- ting the Government’s effort to make Sarawak the richest state by 2030.
PBB vice-youth chief Pandi Suhaili said they should not pour cold water on the efforts to create a better economy for the rakyat.
“All will benefit from the efforts. I am sure even children of Opposition supporters are also among those who are going to work in Tanjong Manis when the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) project has fully taken off the ground,” he said when contacted yesterday.
He said the state government needed support from all quarters to ensure that a massive project such as SCORE would be successful.
Pandi, who is also PBB Economy Bureau chief, said the Opposition could not blame him if he inferred that they were afraid the success of the project would have negative effects on their support base.
“I am sure many in Sarawak will benefit from the project. Thus, the oppositions’ anxiety is understandable because it can cause their supporters to turn their backs on them and support BN,” he said.
Recently the State Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) chairman Baru Bian, in a press conference, said he felt ‘disturbed’ by repeated statements about Sarawak becoming the richest state by 2030.
He said such statements were “hollow promises”.
He even admitted that he was doubtful about the state’s preparedness for SCORE.
Bian was referring to a newspaper report which quoted Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud in Sibu as saying that Sarawak was poised to become the richest state in the country by 2030.
