Dayang Noorazah calls for priority for Lingga projects

LINGGA assemblywoman Dayang Noorazah Awang Sohor has urged the Sarawak government to prioritise the development of the Lingga District Administration Complex and Quarters and the Maludam Sub-District Administration Office in 2027 to improve rural administrative services.

Speaking during the debate on the Sarawak Budget 2027 at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting on Friday (Oct 16), she said the two projects were essential to strengthening administrative capacity and enhancing government service delivery.

She said the facilities would provide civil servants with safer, better-equipped and more comfortable working environments, ultimately improving productivity and the quality of services delivered to the people.

“Great policies require efficient implementation, and efficient implementation requires a strong administrative machinery,” she said.

Dayang Noorazah also expressed strong support for the Sarawak Budget 2027, particularly its emphasis on strengthening administrative capacity and improving the efficiency of government services.

She described civil servants as the backbone of efforts to implement the policies, development agenda and manifesto of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government, in line with the aspirations of the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS 2030).

She stressed that both proposed facilities should be given priority to strengthen the administrative system and improve service delivery, particularly in rural areas.

On Sarawak’s economic progress, Dayang Noorazah highlighted the state’s revenue growth from RM6.864 billion in 2017 to a projected RM15.091 billion in 2027.

She attributed the achievement to political stability, bold decision-making, visionary leadership and policies that ensure continuity in the state’s development agenda.

“This success did not happen by chance. It is the result of leadership with a clear direction, a stable government and policies that ensure continuity,” she said.

Dayang Noorazah said Sarawak must maintain its momentum despite challenges and obstacles, stressing that continued progress would depend on the collective determination of its people and the government’s commitment to development.

“Sarawak has come a long way, but our greatest achievements must still lie ahead,” she said.

She added that the state must continue building on its achievements and strengthening its resilience to shape a better future.

“Let the world hear this clearly: Sarawak will not wait for the future. Sarawak will build it. Sarawak will lead it,” she said.
