Its chairman John Teo said the RM250mil allocated for the country's tourism industry will not be sufficient in further assisting tourism industry players, who have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic since 2020."It will depend very much on how the Sarawak government, especially the MPs fight for further funds for so many ‘sick projects’ that are still awaiting Federal Government funding.
“As announced by Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas on Jan 30, there are 340 sick projects in Sarawak. “We do hope that all these sick projects will be completed. Without additional funds allocated, these sick projects will not be able to be completed," he said in a statement on Saturday ."We need Miri Airport to be upgraded and extended further from the present capacity of handling two million passengers to three million. The present passenger volume has already surpassed the 2.439 million passengers recorded in 2019 before the Covid 19 pandemic struck," he added.
