Sarawak will stay ahead of other states: Bell

SARATOK: Sarawak will continue to experience rapid development next year, especially in rural areas.
Political Secretary to the Premier, Bell Bernard Aggan, said the large RM12.363 billion state budget prepared proves the commitment of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government to see Bumi Kenyalang go forward.

“Believe me, Sarawak will continue to be ahead of other states,” he said at a pre-New Year celebration here.
