He added that Sarawak leaders have always been committed to bringing infrastructure facilities and basic amenities to the Rakyat
Speaking at the opening of the ‘Jelajah Belia Sarawak 2020 (Piasau)’ on Saturday at Miri Civic Centre, he added that those who always criticized the government should understand that the process is time consuming.
He added that Sarawak leaders have always been committed to bringing infrastructure facilities and basic amenities to the Rakyat.
He said that Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg has been always passionate about digital development especially in telecommunication and broadband connectivity for the people in rural Sarawak.
“It takes time, and that is the thing that we have to understand,” he said.
On another note, Karim reminded and urged the people especially the youth to preserve the tradition of understanding and tolerance among races, which has always been the key to Sarawak’s strength.
