KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 — The shifting of Indonesia’s capital to Kalimantan, neighbouring Sabah and Sarawak, will require both regions to prepare themselves, especially in the development of borders and exploring bilateral business-to-business opportunities.
The Finance Ministry had previously approved an additional RM1 billion for upgrading projects and to construct better infrastructure along the 1,881-kilometre border separating Sarawak and Sabah from Kalimantan, Indonesia. “Indonesia wants to have hydropower, four dams in Kalimantan and one packages has been agreed to be given to Sarawak. Sarawak Energy will be the implementor as they have experience in building four hydroelectric dams in Sarawak,” he said.
