KUCHING, Nov 10 2026: Sarawak is offering various advantages to international investors, including a strategic location, an energy supply at competitive tariff rates, and talent development through the state’s education policy, Premier Abang Johari Openg told a business forum today.
He said these factors are key considerations for investors seeking to ensure long-term returns and profitability on their investments.
He stressed Sarawak holds advantages in terms of location and energy, and offers the lowest electricity tariff rates in the region—a major draw for investors.
“Anyone looking to invest in a particular region naturally wants to ensure their investment yields a profit. That is the primary consideration, as no one wishes to invest in an unprofitable venture.
“Sarawak possesses various advantages that can help investors generate profit. So, why not come and invest in Sarawak?” he asked while participating in a ‘Fireside Chat’ at the Standard Chartered, Invest Sarawak British-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce (BMCC) Industrial Transition Forum today.
He added investors must also evaluate the total cost of project implementation, including financing, loan interest rates, and operational models—to ensure the long-term viability of their investments.
He noted talent development is a key factor prioritized by prospective investors, alongside the availability of energy and water supplies.
He explained that Sarawak’s education policy is designed to produce a skilled workforce proficient in modern technology, capable of meeting the demands of new industries and the emerging economy.
“Based on my discussions with potential investors, they are not only attracted by the energy and water supply in Sarawak, but they also view the state’s education policy as a distinct advantage.
“This is because Sarawak is capable of providing a skilled workforce that has mastered modern technology,” he explained.
