KUCHING: The Sarawak Sovereign Wealth Future Fund (SSWF) marked its inaugural year by focusing on laying a strong and strategic foundation, said Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Sulong Matjeraie.
The SSWF chairman said this was to ensure the fund was built upon sound principles, led by the right individuals, and supported by a solid structure to carry out its mandate effectively.
He added that the fund had also been enhancing internal capabilities by assembling a diverse and capable team to ensure it was well-prepared to navigate the complex investment landscape with diligence and foresight.
“At the same time, we have developed a governance framework and institutional policies to guide our direction moving forward. As we look towards 2025, we are entering a new phase in this journey — capital development.
“As a world-class investment group, our approach will remain measured, disciplined, and firmly focused on the interests and future of the people of Sarawak,” he said.
He made these remarks during the SSWF Raya gathering, officiated by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg at the Sarawak Islamic Complex here yesterday (April 21).
He also stressed that the success of SSWF depended on the trust placed in the organisation, the confidence of stakeholders and the support of all parties.
Also present were Deputy Premiers Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian; Sarawak State Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki; Sarawak Attorney General Datuk Seri Saferi Ali; and SSWF Board of Trustees member Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Leonard Linggi Jugah.
