Any federal ministers planning to hold official visits to Sarawak must notify the state government of their itineraries and schedules in advance.
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg said the details required include exact projects or functions by each ministry to be held in the state.
According to Berita Harian, Abang Johari (above) said the move was in line with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's call for all federal ministers to follow Sarawak government's protocols and work together with the local leaders in the implementation of any project.
"The early notice is also to allow the Sarawak government to plan and coordinate so that the visits can be done at the right places.
"Sarawak state officials must also be informed of the purpose of the visit and what are the projects to be done," he reportedly said at a press conference after chairing a Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) supreme council meeting in Kuching.
Among those reportedly in attendance include Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, who is also PBB’s senior vice-chief.
'Projects below RM50 million'
Meanwhile, Abang Johari also reportedly said the party's supreme council had discussed the implementation of various federal projects worth below RM50 million, from a total of RM4 billion allocation from the federal government.
He said potential projects include new education and health facilities, as well as improving rural roads. - Mkini
