We appreciate the effort by Council of Eminent Persons (CEP), Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA), Economic Planning Unit (EPU) and TERAJU for inviting Sarawak representatives to Pra-KBN 2018 and we would further collaborate in building more inclusive economic development as one of the country’s priority and to achieve greater national development goals and overcome pockets of socioeconomic inequality as a means to balance the wealth distribution.
