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。
