KUCHING, Aug 3: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has clarified that Sarawak’s ‘White House’ is not a residential building but an administrative office for the Sarawak government.
During a press conference at Raia Hotel, Abang Johari explained that the new complex in Petra Jaya is designed with advanced security features and will serve as a data centre for the Sarawak government.
He stated that the construction of the new complex is necessary because the current government building at Wisma Bapa Malaysia has become a public building with unrestricted access.
The clarification came in response to rumors suggesting that the new complex would serve as the official residence-cum-administrative office of the Premier of Sarawak.
On July 15, it was reported that a new complex currently under construction in Petra Jaya is set to be ‘The White House’ of Sarawak.
The new complex, which has been nicknamed ‘The White House’ of Sarawak, is set to enhance the functionality and security of government operations. — DayakDaily
