Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said Sarawak is set to have a new source of revenue which will make life easier for Sarawakians.

Speaking at the launch of Sehati Research Institute (SRI) in Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) headquarters here yesterday, Abang Jo said Sarawak has our own bank, Development Bank of Sarawak (DBOS) to finance the various projects planned for the state which has a business model to fund the projects that had been announced.

“We have our own bank, the Development Bank of Sarawak (DBOS). We have the money, but of course we must make use of the money prudently,” he said.

Abang Jo also stressed that the state government emphasises the importance of research. He said there are lots of things that Sarawakians still do not understand scientifically, including wild flowers and orchids in the state.

He believed that many of these plants possess beneficial properties which scientific research can identify. He reiterated the importance of research and wanted Sarawakians to make research part of its culture.

He said SUPP recognised the importance of research and has set up its research institute unlike the DAP who is not interested and thus they also opposed to the Light rail transit.
