MIRI: Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud said on Saturday the people of Sarawak were able to enjoy peace, political stability and organised development because leadership change in the state was not done in haste.
He said that since Sarawak joined Malaysia 49 years ago, the state had had five yang dipertuas negeri and four chief ministers, and there had been continuity in the planning and implementation of development.
“Leadership change is not done in haste so as to allow for maintenance of peace and stability in line with the people’s needs,” he said in his speech at the parade in conjunction with the 91st birthday celebration of Sarawak Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng at the Miri Stadium.
Taib said that following the people’s mandate of a two-third majority at the state elections last year, the State Barisan Nasional (BN) government had continued to implement its electoral promises.
One of the promises was to increase investment in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (Score), he said, adding that more than 7,000 hectares of land had been made available to establish mini industrial estates in the corridor. –Bernama
