SARATOK, Feb 22 (Bernama)-- The high level of understanding between the federal and Sarawak governments has succeeded in further facilitating development in the state, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Monday.
The prime minister said that this understanding had enabled the federal government to focus on development issues faced by the people in Sarawak, unlike in several states in the peninsula where there was no focus.
"In the peninsula, there are states that are not in agreement with the federal government which are in chaos, unable to manage their own families and are quarrelling among themsleves," he said when launching the Rural Electricity Project at the Juliana Bedus longhouse here.
Najib, who is on a two-day visit to the state, said the people of Sarawak would continue to benefit from the close cooperation between the federal and state governments, including large allocations for development of its rural sector.
The rural folk in Sarawak would get to witness massive changes in terms of infrastructural development through an alloction of RM3.4 billion under the National Key Result Area (NKRA) for the sector from this year until 2012, he added.
He gave an assurance that the structure of the communities in the state would be respected and taken into account in all development projects planned by the government.
"Sarawak is eligible for all the facilities because of the confidence of its people in us and it is our (government's) duty to provide all these facilities," he added.
