SCORE

Multi-billion ringgit plan to transform Sarawak


BINTULU: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi launched the multi-billion ringgit Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy yesterday, an extensive development plan to lift the population’s standard of living by utilising the state’s natural resources.

The prime minister said the Sarawak Corridor or Score would transform the state by the year 2030.

“I put my faith in the quality of human capital in the state and I am confident that you can be on par, if not better, than the other states in terms of holistic development which would benefit every strata of society,” Abdullah said to a cheering crowd of more than 10,000 at the waterfront here.

“The government is committed to ensuring the success of Score with our partnership with the private sector but this doesn’t mean that ordinary people will be left out. There is room for everyone in this specialised development plan.”

Pointing out that a positive mindset was as important as the necessary human capital, Abdullah said the billions of ringgit in investment in Score must be complemented with commitment and hard work from all concerned.

“What we are launching is a masterplan which is achievable by 2030. We are not starting from zero but from a comfortable platform. As Malaysians, we have the capabilities and what we need to do now is just add value.
