LONDON: Sarawak is offering strong long-term investment and growth prospects, underpinned by political stability, a rational populace, and a consistent development policy framework, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
According to Abang Johari, the Sarawak government has outlined a clear development roadmap up to 2030, and is now planning for the next phase through to 2035.
He noted that such long-term planning is crucial for investors to assess the risks, returns, and sustainability of their investments.
“What I want to emphasise is that Sarawak is a region with enormous potential for future growth. That is the first point.
“Secondly, we enjoy political stability, and the people of Sarawak are rational.
“Thirdly, there must be a well-defined roadmap. Policies must remain consistent, regardless of who holds the office of Premier. They must always be forward-looking.
“We have already laid the groundwork up to 2030 and are now planning for 2035. With this kind of environment, investors are in a good position to make informed evaluations,” he said during the Fireside Chat Session: Sarawak’s Global Vision – Sustainability, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships held as part of Sarawak Connects 2025 yesterday (May 2).
He added that in such a conducive environment, investors naturally seek countries that are peaceful and secure.
“These are qualities that Sarawak possesses—and they are truly impressive.
“Among the 56 Commonwealth nations, not all uphold the rule of law as we do.
“Security is another vital consideration. While many countries have these characteristics, there is also growing recognition of the exceptional opportunities that Sarawak has to offer,” he added.
