The proposal for Sarawak to use its own currency is only Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi’s personal opinion, said Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg.
He said Sarawak will continue to use the ringgit, as the issue is complicated and requires comprehensive study.
“It’s a very complicated issue, and it was just Nanta’s view.
“We already have Malaysian currency, so we will continue using it,” Abang Johari told reporters after the opening ceremony of the state-level 2023 National Anti-Scam Roadshow in Kuching today.
He was commenting on Nanta’s reported statement yesterday, which hinted at the possibility of Sarawak introducing its own currency, given the uncertain economic situation in Malaysia.
Nanta, Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS)’s secretary-general, made the statement while appearing as a guest on a podcast entitled ‘From Malaya to Malaysia: 60 years’ yesterday.
