Bernama reports that Sarawak has agreed in principle to establish the Sibu Economic Zone, backed by an initial RM1.5 billion allocation. Its priorities include investment, services and high-value employment.
Deputy Premier Dr Sim Kui Hian said the government would provide policy direction, infrastructure and development platforms while encouraging private-sector participation. Readers following Sibu’s commercial and industrial development can monitor implementation details; approval in principle does not mean the zone is already operational.
