BINTULU, May 23 2026: Kampung Kuala Nyalau area will be expanded and developed into a modern new township to support the rapid growth of the Samalaju industrial area and aim at strengthening Bintulu as a key economic hub in Sarawak.
Premier Abang Johari Openg said the transformation of Kampung Kuala Nyalau will include the development of modern housing, commercial areas, office spaces and supporting facilities for both local residents and the expatriate community working in Samalaju.
“A village near Samalaju, Kampung Nyalau, will be expanded and it will not affect the current residents as we are enlarging the area,” he said.
“We will provide the necessary facilities for expatriates living in the area,” he added at a press conference after officiating the Sarawakku Sayang Bintulu 2026 programme on Saturday.
The premier said the project will also generate direct economic benefits for villagers through increased business activities and wider economic opportunities.
He added that the development will include affordable housing, commercial zones, offices and support services designed to meet future demand.
“The villagers will not be affected, but they will benefit economically as population growth will also bring more business opportunities,” he said.
He explained that three villages in the Kuala Nyalau area will be integrated into the development plan, which also covers Jepak and Samalaju as part of a wider regional masterplan.
According to him, the new township will serve as a social support system for investors in Samalaju while strengthening Bintulu’s long-term development network. -UKASnews
Earlier while officiating the Sarawakku Sayang (SKS) Bintulu 2026 Programme, he said unity of the people, regardless of religion and ethnicity, continues to serve as the main foundation for Sarawak’s success in emerging as a new economic powerhouse in the country.
He said the stability and solidarity of Sarawakians have enabled the state to move aggressively in exploring future industries, including green energy, hydrogen and the low-carbon economy.
“What matters is our unity regardless of religion and ethnicity. We are united in a single movement to position Sarawak like Bavaria in Germany.
“Sarawak is becoming the heartbeat of Malaysia’s economic development and if we succeed, Malaysia succeeds,” he said.
