Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg at the signing ceremony of a MoU at Lawas today.
“Sarawak’s economy needs to grow by at least 6% percent annually in order to be able to attain the status of a developed economy by 2030,” he said during the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding between the state government, Beijing Beca Sci-Tech Co Ltd and Sinopec Engineering Incorporation on the proposed development of an integrated oil and gas complex in Pulau Sari, Lawas, here today.
The MoU, he said, would be the first step towards expanding the state’s capacity and capability in the oil and gas sector instead of being a mere spectator and waiting for “handouts”.
