TANJUNG MANIS, Aug 13 — Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said the outcome of yesterday's elections in six states showed that the people in Peninsular Malaysia are divided along racial and religious lines.
He said Sarawak is lucky because it is under Gabungan Parti Sarawak which does not rule based on race and religion. Abang Johari said the state is set to increase its revenue collection from RM11.9 billion last year and increase the tempo of development because of political stability."We in the government, including the ministers, are working hard to get more income for the state and we will distribute it to the people by building infrastructures and other projects, such as electricity and water," he said.
