沈桂贤：母亲离世显示砂急需完善癌症医院
砂拉越副总理拿督阿玛沈桂贤表示，其母亲潘斯里拿汀阿玛沈林素卿的离世，再次提醒砂拉越亟需建立一家完善的综合性癌症医院，以加强早期筛查与综合治疗。 沈桂贤透露，几个月前母亲被确诊患有结肠癌，让全家震惊，因为林素卿一直定期接受结肠镜检查。他说：“虽然医生说三年内检查结果都正常，但仅仅15个月后，癌症就出现了。这表明我们绝不能掉以轻心。如果出现异常症状，我们必须进行检查，因为结肠癌很常见。” 昨晚，沈桂贤在其府上接受媒体采访时强调，该癌症医院不仅将提供治疗，还将成为领先的研究中心。他指出：“癌症需要大量研究，因为有些癌症类型目前仍无法治愈。” 沈桂贤提及，砂拉越中央医院已获首相拿督斯里安华认可为研究型医院：“首相去年九月访问古晋时亲自授予了这项荣誉。他下车后告诉总理拿督巴丁宜丹斯里阿邦佐哈里，砂拉越中央医院是最好的研究型医院。” 林素卿于去年三月被诊断患结肠癌，并接受手术、化疗及放疗，直至去年十二月。沈桂贤感谢肿瘤科团队及医护人员在家中提供终末关怀，并形容家人在照顾母亲期间更加亲密，孩子们也学会了打针、换尿布及协助洗澡。他表示：“这是一种恩赐，因为我们以前从未有这么多时间在一起。” 沈桂贤进一步指出，母亲灌输给他的高尚家庭价值观，是他决定回到砂拉越为州服务的重要基石：“虽然我们在澳大利亚有家，不用辛苦工作，但我们仍然选择回来，因为父母从小教导我们这些价值观。”

叶耀星：砂拉越成为支撑国家经济重要力量
哥打圣淘沙议员叶耀星指出，砂拉越在推动国家服务账户盈余方面扮演关键角色，并强调砂拉越应获得联邦政府的应有认可。 他表示，首相拿督斯里安华日前宣布我国在相隔14年后，再度取得7亿令吉服务账户盈余，但相关成果并非仅源自联邦层面的财政纪律，而是砂拉越卓越经济表现特别是旅游业增长所带动。 他引述数据指出，砂拉越在2025年前三季共迎来超过320万名旅客，带来估计81亿8000万令吉的旅游收入，为全国最大项目之一的旅游服务出口作出显著贡献。 叶耀星说，砂拉越的旅游表现占我国旅游服务出口约8%，并贡献全国服务收入约3%，显示砂拉越对全国服务账户盈余具有重要影响力。 他说，在砂政党联盟（GPS）领导下，砂政府长期投资基础设施、推动目的地推广及发展生态与文化旅游，为当地社区带来效益，也对国家经济作出可量化贡献。 他认为，联邦政府在庆贺服务账户盈余时，应先肯定砂拉越的贡献，并感谢砂政府与砂人民共同努力，让砂拉越成为支撑国家经济的重要力量。 他呼吁联邦政府正式认可砂拉越在这项成就中的作用，强调砂拉越的愿景、执行力与经济实力，已成为国家进步的重要支柱。

Kota Sentosa State assemblyman Wilfred Yap says Sarawak is the real driving force behind Malaysia’s recent services account surplus, which the Prime Minister announced as the first positive result in fourteen years.

叶耀星：砂拉越的治理框架成为区域参考
哥打圣淘沙议员叶耀星表示，砂拉越在砂政党联盟（GPS）领导下推动的主权财富基金模式，已成为其他政党参考的政策方向，并指出沙巴公正党及沙巴人民联盟（GRS）近日在州选宣言中提出设立主权财富基金，显示砂拉越的相关政策正被跨州借鉴。 他说，砂拉越于2022年推行主权财富未来基金，并以条例、治理机制及严格投资框架为基础，如今沙巴多个政治联盟也提出类似概念，反映砂拉越的财政规划模式获得关注。 叶耀星指出，砂拉越设立主权财富基金的目的在于长期战略规划，并非选举期间的承诺。他说，砂拉越已有运作中的基金，并具备透明结构及专业管理，与部分州属在选举期间提出的政策概念不同。 他也说，砂拉越的财政稳定来自长期奉行谨慎理财方针，而砂总理拿督巴丁宜阿邦佐哈里多次强调，砂拉越不会采取高债务模式运作财政，并将继续坚持储蓄及长期规划原则。 叶耀星表示，沙巴两大政治阵营提出与砂拉越相似的政策，显示砂拉越的治理框架逐渐成为区域参考，相关模式在稳定性与长期方向上受到肯定。 他说，砂拉越将继续推行保障财政韧性、经济自主及跨世代利益的政策，并在未来持续推动相关长远发展规划。
