Winding up speech: CM touches on Sarawak tranformation, devolution of power, oil and gas royalty and Najib's commitment



Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem's winding up speech at the state assembly on Nov 30, 2016
SARAWAK TRANSFORMATION: THE WAY FORWARD
• Sarawak has continued to strengthen economic resilience through various measures over the years. Moving forward, there are challenges to be addressed arising from the uncertainties in the global economy and the slowdown in the national economy.

The Prime Minister clearly shows that he is willing to discuss this matter with the State Government and to find solutions to resolve this issue. The State Government is not making a ‘U’ turn on this matter because we believe that Federal and State BN Governments being in the family can resolve this issue amicably between the parties concerned. Diplomacy is better than confrontation. This consultation approach is manifested through the Prime Minister’s regular visits to Sarawak and his approval of many projects during his visits. - Adenan Satem
