KUCHING, July 17 2026: Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof stressed that the role of the media in Sarawak is much greater than simply delivering news, but rather serves as a bridge that connects various races, urban and rural communities and helps the people understand the state's development agenda.
He said that Sarawak's position as a country rich in cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity means that the media plays an important role in strengthening unity and delivering information in a more inclusive manner.
"The media serves as a bridge that connects races and between urban and rural communities, raising the voice of the community, introducing culture and delivering the development agenda in a more inclusive manner," he said at a dinner held in conjunction with the Sarawak Media Conference (SMeC) 2026 last night.
In the context of regional development, he said, the media also plays an important role in explaining the implementation of various development agendas including infrastructure projects, energy transition, green economy, energy security, digital transformation and efforts to improve the well-being of the people.
Fadillah explained that the delivery of accurate and easy-to-understand information will help the people understand government policies, thus encouraging their participation in realizing
the state's development agenda.
He expressed hope that the media practitioners will continue to play their role as strategic partners of the government in delivering authentic, constructive and inclusive information for the progress of Sarawak.
