Semoga segala hasrat dan tujuan yang ingin kita capai dapat dilaksanakan dengan jayanya.

Tuan Speaker, allow me to update this august House on the latest overall economic performance for 2018 and the outlook for 2019.

Global Economic Performance in 2018 and Outlook For 2019

Global economic growth has been robust in 2018 but less synchronized. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its latest World Economic Outlook published in October 2018 projected that the world economy to grow at 3.7% for 2018 and it is expected to grow at the same pace for 2019. Growth appears to have peaked in some major economies owing to escalating trade tensions, rising oil prices and tightening financial conditions. Growth in the emerging and developing countries is expected to remain uneven.

Advanced economies is anticipated to slowdown in growth from 2.4% in 2018 to 2.1% in 2019. The growth in the United States, though supported by fiscal stimulus and robust private demand growth, is expected to slowdown from 2.9% in 2018 to 2.5% in 2019. The growth in the Euro area is also forecasted to slowdown from 2.0% in 2018 to 1.9% in 2019, as higher oil prices would continue to weight on consumption coupled with tighter financial condition and increased in borrowing cost on investments. In Japan, growth is projected to slowdown from 1.1% in 2018 to 0.9% in 2019, as private consumption and investment are anticipated to be more subdued.

Emerging and developing economies are expected to sustain their growth of 4.7% for 2018 into 2019 supported by higher commodity prices. Growth in China is projected to moderate from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.2% in 2019 with the tightening of its financial sector, softening of external demand and the challenges brought about by the trade war. India’s economy is expected to accelerate slightly from 7.3% in 2018 to 7.4% in 2019. This is largely due to the deregulation and steady improvement in economic freedom.

Growth in world trade is expected to soften to 4.2% in 2018 as trade tensions between China and United States continue to escalate, undermining confidence in businesses and financial markets. Inflation has risen in both advanced and emerging market economies due to higher fuel prices.

National Economic Performance in 2018 and Prospects for 2019

Tuan Speaker, our national economy is expected to register a softer growth in 2018 after experiencing a slower expansion of 4.9% in the first half of 2018. Private sector activity remained the driver of growth as both private consumption and private investment expanded by 7.4% and 3.3% respectively in the first half of 2018. Growth in private consumption was largely due to continued strength in wage and employment as well as higher consumer sentiments and increased household spending following the three month tax holiday arising from zero rating of GST. Growth in private investment was supported by capital spending in the services and manufacturing sectors.

Meanwhile, public expenditure was decelerated attributed to lower public consumption and public investment in the first half of 2018. Public consumption grew only 1.8% while public investment contracted by 5.4% as a result of lower capital spending by public corporations and a few on-going large-scale projects nearing completion.

Malaysia’s gross exports rose by 7.0% for the first half on 2018, driven largely by sustained external demand for semiconductor.

On the supply side, expansion continued, notably in the services and manufacturing sectors for the first half of the year. The services sector grew at 6.5%, particularly in the wholesale and retail trade, as well as finance and insurance sub-sectors arising from increased household spending. The manufacturing sector grew at 5.1% with improvement in the exports particularly in the electronics and electrical cluster.

Based on the 2019 National Budget, the national economy is expected to continue to grow healthily at 4.9% in 2019 despite the global economic uncertainties.

State Economic Performance in 2018 and the Prospects for 2019 Tuan Speaker, the State economy experienced slower growth in the first half of 2018. Nevertheless, the major economic sectors, notably the services sector remains supportive to the economic growth that could bring a growth of 4.6% for the whole of 2018.

Supply Side The services sector is projected to grow by 6.4% in 2018 supported by the wholesale and retail trade sub-sector as the household spending increased supported by the zero rating of the GST from June to August this year. The higher lending activity also supported growth of the finance and insurance sub-sector. The manufacturing sector is estimated to grow by 3.5% in 2018. For the first seven months of 2018, production of LNG slowed down in tandem with the slowdown in demand. On the other hand, production of electronics and electrical products continued to strengthen. With the escalating global trade tensions, some moderation in growth in the manufacturing sector is expected in 2019. The mining sector is expected to expand at a more modest rate of 2.6% in 2018 supported by an increase in output production. Demand for crude oil remains strong and oil price has gone up to an average of USD75 per barrel following the agreement on reduction on crude oil production output by the organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). With this positive trend for crude oil price, the mining sector is anticipated to remain a significant contributor to the State economy for 2019. The agriculture sector is expected to grow modestly at 1.8% in 2018. Production of crude palm oil contracted by 2.4% in the first seven months of the year with the decline in both the oil extraction rate and yield in fresh fruit bunch (FFB). However, a stronger growth for agriculture is anticipated in the second half of 2018 and is expected to sustain in 2019 with signs of improvement in the production of crude palm oil. Growth in the construction sector is expected to remain strong at 5.1% in 2018 underpinned by the continuation in the implementation of projects under the Eleventh Malaysia Plan, particularly infrastructure projects, Rural Transformation Programmes, Rural Electricity Supply and Rural Water Supply projects at stressed areas, as well as property development. The effort to accelerate the implementation of infrastructure development in the State will continue to bring further growth to the construction sector in 2019.

Demand Side Tuan Speaker, on the demand side, for the first seven months of 2018, the State experienced a narrowing total balance of trade. Growth in exports contracted by 1.6%


5

totalling RM53.6 billion attributing to the drop in export of palm oil and LNG, signalling slower external demand. The higher crude petroleum export partially offset further drop in the total export. During the same period, import increased by 7.1% to RM24.9 billion, narrowing the total balance of trade to RM28.7 billion.

Domestic demand from both consumption and investment are expected to grow encouragingly this year. Public consumption is anticipated to grow by 4.7% in 2018 due to spending on emoluments and supplies and services.

Private consumption is forecasted to grow higher by 5.1% in 2018 supported by robust spending activities attributed partly to the zero rating of the GST coupled with continued strength in income and employment. Private investment is expected to moderate to 5.2% in 2018 underpinned by positive business sentiment. In the first half of 2018, a total of RM121.3 million investments was approved.

On public investment, a growth of 3.3% is expected in 2018 following the intensified effort by the State Government to develop more infrastructures which include, among others, the implementation of road network, improvement of utilities coverage and services related projects such as public education and healthcare, with due emphasis given to the rural areas. Despite our effort, the Federal Government decision for expenditure rationalization may affect expansion of public investment in 2019.

Tuan Speaker, the volatility created by the trade tensions between China and United States will weigh on Sarawak as our economy is strongly linked to the global markets. In addition, the current restructuring of the Malaysia economy, particularly in the cutting of spending by the Federal Government would likely impact the economic growth of the State.

However, the State Government is ready to provide allocation to finance priority, high impact and people centric projects. It is expected that with injection of higher public investment would lift the State economic growth. Hence, the State economic is projected to grow at 5.0% in 2019.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE STATE IN 2018

Tuan Speaker, before I present the proposed 2019 Budget, I would like to update this august House on the State financial performance of 2018.

Revenue, 2018

The total revenue of the State for 2018 is anticipated to surpass the original estimates of RM5.525 billion (applause). Based on the revenue collection for the period ended 31st October, 2018 of RM5.758 billion, the estimated revenue for this year is revised to RM6.966 billion (applause) which is RM1.441 billion or 26.1% higher than the original estimates. The expected higher revenue is mainly attributed to the increase in:-

(a) dividend of RM1.339 billion or 177% from RM755 million to RM2.094 billion; (b) cash compensation in lieu of oil and gas rights of RM176 million or 11% from

RM1.577 billion to RM1.753 billion; (c) 12% service charges for implementing Federal projects of RM77 million or

3.8% from RM20 million to RM96.8 million; and (d) mining royalty of RM5 million or 19% from RM27 million to RM32 million.


6

The overall increase in revenue, nevertheless, is set off slightly by the decrease in revenue from timber, land and sales tax on lottery.

EXPENDITURES, 2018

Ordinary Expenditure

Tuan Speaker, the 2018 Ordinary Expenditure has been revised upwards from RM5.781 billion to RM8.429 billion, an increase of RM2.648 billion or 46%. The revised Ordinary Expenditure was approved in the last Dewan Undangan Negeri Sitting in July, 2018. Up to 31st October, 2018 an amount of RM5.669 billion of Ordinary Expenditure or 67% had been expended. Out of the total amount of Ordinary Expenditure expended during the period, RM1.780 billion was for Operating Expenditure while the balance of RM3.725 billion was appropriated to the Development Fund Account.

Development Expenditure

The estimate for Development Expenditure for 2018 has been revised upwards from RM5.745 billion to RM9.317 billion, an increase of RM3.572 billion or 62%. The revised Development Expenditure estimates has also been approved by Dewan Undangan Negeri in its Sitting in July, 2018. Out of this amount, RM6.777 billion or 73% has been expended for the period ended 31st October, 2018. Expenditure is expected to increase as development momentum continue to pick up towards the end of the year.

Tuan Speaker,

STATE BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR 2019

I would now like to table the 2019 State Budget proposal.

Key Strategies of State Budget Proposal, 2019

The 2019 State Budget Proposal adopt six key strategies aimed at generating a

higher economic growth as well as achieving a more balance economic development in the

state.

Development Biased and Rural Focused Budget

Tuan Speaker, the State will continue with development biased and rural focused

budget to stimulate a higher level of economic activities and economic progress for the

State. In the 2019 Budget proposal, a substantial allocation of RM9.073 billion is proposed

for Development Expenditure. This represents about 76% of the total budget, while 24% or

RM2.841 billion, is for Operating Expenditure. The State government is committed to

intensify the implementation of programmes and projects to further accelerate its

development. Of the total development budget in 2019, RM6.049 billion or 67% allocation

will be provided for the development of rural areas. This provision is much higher as

compared to RM2.982 billion in 2017 and RM3.062 billion in 2018. Our continual effort in

rural development is vital towards achieving our development objective in opening up greater

opportunities in the rural and more remote areas for the economic prosperity of our rural

community.

The State Development Agenda

The State will continue with its socio economic development and rural transformation

agenda and will step up the implementation of the rural transformation projects. Sufficient

allocation will be allocated for the provision of basic facilities and amenities including roads


7

and bridges, rural water and electricity supplies as well as other people centric projects

under the 11th Malaysia Plan. In the light of this, the State will continue with its expansionary

fiscal policy with a substantial development budget of RM9.073 billion in 2019, the biggest in

the history of Sarawak.

These development programmes will definitely open up larger areas and creating

more jobs and business opportunities, hence ensuring the State economy to become more

vibrant and resilient which eventually would bring economic prosperity to all Sarawakian.

Digital Economy as the Key Pillar of Economic Transformation

Tuan Speaker, digital economy will continue to be one of the key thrusts of the

State’s future economy. The State Government is committed to continue with the

implementation of the Sarawak Digital Economy initiatives towards its vision in maximizing

digital technology and digitalization to leapfrog the State economy.

Investment Driven Economic Growth

The State will continue to drive its economic development through further broadening

investment that will create long-term sustainable economic growth. The investment will focus

on higher value-added activities in the manufacturing, agriculture and services sector, as

well as resource-based industries such as oil and gas, agro-based, bio-tech and forest

related industries that would contribute significantly to the economic growth of the State.

In addition to the investment incentives given by the Federal government, the State

offers attractive incentives in terms of competitive price of land, low down payment for

purchase of industrial land, and the provision of other facilities to ensure a conducive

operating environment for the business community particularly the start-up.

Private Sector as the main Engine of Economic Growth

The private sector has been the key driver of the Sarawak’s economy. To facilitate

private sector investment, the State will continue with the measures, among others, the

provision of basic infrastructure to enhance connectivity, provision of basic amenities and

establishment of training institutions as well as industrial estates.

These are essential elements to enable private sector to flourish and contribute significantly to the State’s economy.

Effectiveness of Service Delivery System

The State will continue to embark on the implementation of e-Government to further enhance Government service delivery such as providing seamless and cashless payment gateway as well as a more open data policy for value-added transactions. In this regards, adequate funding will be allocated for the enhancement of service delivery.

Tuan Speaker, the 2019 Budget proposal is indeed “An Extraordinary Budget”. This is because we are not only proposing a large development budget by a record revenue for 2019 as we are tapping into a new major revenue stream.

New Sources of Revenue Stream

Tuan Speaker, in looking at the current reality and assessing the situation objectively, our State of Sarawak, despite 55 years of independence, is still lagging very, very far behind in its development as compared to that of Peninsular Malaysia. It is saddening indeed to see that the people of Sarawak have not been able to enjoy good quality of life with the


8

necessary infrastructures and amenities, particularly our rural community. Sarawak, therefore, has not much choice, but to be self-determining in its development efforts to undertake these massive works ahead of us. Such efforts include putting the State’s infrastructure and basic amenities in place, be it roads and bridges, provision of water and electricity supplies, education, healthcare and many more. These investments are capital intensive and hinges upon our ability to secure new sources of revenue stream to fund the implementation of our development agenda.

In order for the State to determine and take control of its development agenda in a more consorted and self-determining manner, we ought to resort to a more radical solution. One of the solutions is to find ways to fund these much long awaited infrastructure projects and basic amenities throughout the State.

The usual method of funding the development through the annual allocation from

both the State and Federal Budget, is definitely not sufficient to support our development agenda. It is obvious that the yearly State development expenditure budget will need to be increased accordingly. This calls upon the State to look for new sources of revenue stream and at the same time tapping into available alternative funding.

Tuan Speaker, the State Government, in its efforts to expand its revenue base, has

studied the provisions in both the State and Federal Constitutions and the relevant laws. As in the Tenth Schedule, Item 7 of the Federal Constitution, the State is allowed to impose State Sales Tax. Under the State Sales Tax Ordinance 1998, the State imposes sales tax on crude palm oil, crude palm kernel oil, lottery tickets and tyres, and this has been a good source of State revenue.

Tuan Speaker, Sales Tax

After thorough analysis and careful consideration, the State has decided to impose 5% sales tax on petroleum products. This will take effect on 1st January 2019. The sales tax will be levied on petroleum products namely:

(a) Crude oil; (b) Natural gas; (c) Liquefied natural gas; (d) Chemical based fertilizers; and (e) Gas to liquid products.

The revenue expected from the imposition of sales tax on these petroleum products

is estimated to be at a sum of RM3.897 billion in 2019. The higher revenue expected from this new revenue stream together with the other sources of revenue as well as alternative funding will help to support the State in its undertakings on major development programmes and projects. With this, the State will be able to:

(a) Accelerate its development to be at par with that of Peninsular Malaysia; (b) Narrow the disparity gap between the urban and the rural areas; (c) Improve the quality of life of the people especially the rural community; and (d) Achieve the States’ vision to become a high income State by the year 2030.

This fiscal flexibility would enable the State to manage its financial resources

effectively and thus, allow us to speedily implement more rural infrastructure, water and electricity supplies, internet, schools, clinics as well as agricultural and other economic programmes. We have a strong commitment to ensure that Sarawakian will no longer be deprived of the basic needs and the opportunity to a better life and a brighter future.

Revenue Estimates for 2019

Tuan Speaker, the total State revenue for 2019 is projected at RM10.513 billion, an

increase of RM3.547 billion or 51% as compared to the revised revenue estimates of RM6.966 billion for 2018. This will be the first time the State is expected to achieve such a record high revenue of more than RM10.0 billion. This level of revenue is crucial to enable us to move forward with our development agenda for the benefit of all Sarawakian.

The 2019 State revenue estimate is made up of:- (a) Tax Revenue which is expected to be at RM5.268 billion or 50% the total

expected revenue in 2019, comprises the following:

iii. RM332 million from raw water and mining royalties, land rents and others.

(b) Non–Tax Revenue which is estimated at RM4.997 billion or about 48% of the total expected revenue. The non-tax revenue is mainly derived from the following major components: i. RM1.990 billion from cash compensation in lieu of oil and gas rights; ii. RM1.500 billion from dividend income; iii. RM1.006 billion from interest income; iv. RM250 million from land premium; v. RM120 million from cash compensation in lieu of import and excise duties

on petroleum products; and vi. RM131 million from others, including licences, service fees, permits and

rentals.

(c) Non-Revenue Receipt which is expected to be at RM9 million, mainly from forest liquidated damages, disposal of assets and forest compounds; and

(d) Federal Grants and Reimbursements which is expected to be at RM239 million.

Ordinary Expenditure Estimates for 2019

Tuan Speaker, a sum of RM10.391 billion is proposed for Ordinary Expenditure for

2019. Out of this total allocation, RM2.841 billion is for operating expenditure which consists of RM232 million for Charged Expenditure and RM2.609 billion for Recurrent Expenditure. A sum of RM7.550 billion is proposed to be appropriated to the Statutory Funds of which RM7.3 billion is for the contribution to Development Fund Account to finance development programmes and projects. The remaining RM250 million is for appropriation to Contingencies Trust Fund.

The proposed allocation of RM2.841 billion for Operating Expenditure next year is an

increase of RM212 million which is about 8% over the revised expenditure of RM2.629 billion

for this year.


10

Out of the 2.841 billion proposed for Operating Expenditure in 2019:-

i. RM798 million or 28% for personnel emoluments;

ii. RM983 or 35% for supplies and services;

iii. RM909 million or 32% for grants and fixed payments, including operating

grants to Statutory Bodies and local authorities, servicing of public debts and

payments of gratuities, pensions and scholarships;

iv. RM52 million for the procurement of assets; and

v. RM99 million for other operating expenses.

Tuan Speaker, I am pleased to announce in this august House that the State

Government has decided to introduce a new policy whereby every newborn child as long as

they are Sarawakian will be given one-off incentive of RM1,000.00 (Applause) irrespective of

ethnicity, religious beliefs and social status. Of course, we also don’t care what political

affiliation they have. (Applause) This incentive can only be withdrawn upon attaining the age

of 18 and is meant for their further education or as capital to pursue their career. (Applause)

Tuan Speaker, in 2019 we shall allocate RM40 million based on the average of

40,000 babies born each year.

Budget Surplus for 2019

Taking into account of an estimated total revenue of RM10.513 billion and a total

proposed Ordinary Expenditure of RM10.391 billion, the proposed 2019 Budget is expected

to generate a surplus of RM122 million. (Applause) A surplus budget would enable the State

to continue building up its financial reserve. This is to ensure its healthy financial position

and financial sustainability in the long run.

Of course, there are speculation saying that I may touch the reserve. No reserve

being touched. (Applause) We know how to manage our economy, Tuan Speaker.

(Applause)

Development Expenditure Estimates for 2019

Tuan Speaker, now, I would like to deliberate on the proposed Development

Expenditure Estimates for 2019. The estimates have taken into consideration amongst

others:-

(a) Priority, high impact and people centric projects particularly in the rural areas;

(b) Commitment to complete the implementation of the on-going projects;

(c) Capacity to implement projects during the year; and

(d) Reprioritization of expenditure undertaken by Federal Government to

rationalize its fiscal position.

For 2019, a sum of RM9.073 billion is proposed to finance various programmes and

11

Of the total provision for development expenditure, RM8.813 billion will be funded by

the State (Applause) while RM260 million is to be financed by the Federal Government

(Boooo) through reimbursable loans and grants.

Distribution of Development Expenditure Estimates for 2019

Tuan Speaker, the proposed Budget for the year is fairly distributed to ensure a

sustainable and balanced development throughout the State particularly between the urban

and the rural areas. The State will continue to invest in a range of initiatives to ensure that

the on-going provision of vital services will benefit Sarawakian from all walks of life.

The proposed 2019 Development Budget of RM9.073 billion will focus on the

following initiatives:-

(i) Accelerating Development in the Rural Areas

To hasten the pace of rural development, a total sum of RM6.049 billion is proposed

in 2019 Development Budget of which RM2.350 billion is set aside for the implementation of

the following projects:-

(b) RM500 million for Rural Transformation Projects;

(c) RM243 million for Minor Rural Projects; and

(d) RM72 million for Program Penambahbaikan Rumah Miskin Sarawak

(PPRMS). (Applause)

(ii) Improving the Connectivity of the State

The State is investing in more infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges and jetties to further improve its connectivity. For this purpose, a sum of RM1.105 billion will be allocated for the implementation of various projects, amongst others:-

(a) Jalan Sg. Bidut / Kpg. Tutus / Kpg. Sebedil /Kpg. Bungan Kecil; (b) Jalan Dari Sibu Jaya Ke Jalan Kong Yit Khim; (c) Construction of Pasai Siong Hilir Road; (d) Road Construction from Marudi to Mulu via Long Terawan; (e) Jalan Ulu Tubai menuju ke Mentawai / Gunung Buda; (f) Jalan Pakan, Ulu Julau, Ulu Kota Pakan (Phase II); (g) Jalan Nanga Menuan / Nanga Setepus; (h) Upgrading and Rehabilitation of Belaga to Menjawah Road; (i) Jalan Baru Tatau ke Kuala Tatau; (j) Jalan Kampung Sebauh to Jalan Sebauh Hilir; (k) Jalan Kampung Igan ke Rumah Panjang Sungai Ilas dan Kampung Sah,

We do not know whether the Federal will also partially finance this or not, but we give provision for it.

(iii) Expanding Coverage of Clean Treated Water Supply throughout the State

To address the water supply issues, the State Government will continue to extend

coverage of water supply especially to the rural population. A sum of RM190 million is proposed in 2019 for the implementation of various water supply projects including:-

(a) Water Supply from Kota Samarahan to Sebuyau, Samarahan; (b) Pipeline from Assyakirin Reservoir to Nyabau Water Treatment Plant Intake; (c) Program Membaik pulih dan Menaik taraf Sistem Pengeluaran Air Negeri

(iv) Strengthening Agriculture Development

The State aims to become a net exporter of agricultural produce and products to

meet the demand of both the domestic and global markets. This vision could be achieved by transforming agriculture into a modern, competitive and sustainable sector, capable of generating new innovative businesses and high-value employment opportunities. The agriculture sector needs to be modernized and commercialized through leveraging on advanced technologies. A sum of RM315 million is proposed in 2019 which among others, provide for the following:-

(a) Venture capital programme to strengthen the business model for the

agriculture sector;

(b) Crop Industry Development which include:

(a) Demak Laut Industrial Park; (b) Sematan Industrial Estates; (c) Sri Aman Industrial Estates; (d) Bau Industrial Estates; and (e) Rantau Panjang Industrial Estates;

In addition, the development of SMEs will remain a priority so as to achieve a more

inclusive and balance growth. Towards achieving this, a sum of RM18.4 million is proposed for the implementation of various entrepreneurship programmes and projects for SMEs, which include:-

(a) Samalaju SME Cluster; and (b) Anjung Usahawan in Lawas, Sundar, Trusan and Gedong

(vi) Providing Affordable Housing for the Rakyat

In our continual effort to care for the well-being of our people, the state will continue

to build quality and more affordable houses targeting at the lower income group. For 2019, a sum of RM141 million is proposed for housing development including financing of new and on-going construction of 1,827 units of affordable houses under Rumah Mampu Milik (RMM) and Rumah Spektra Permata (RSP). The implementation of RMM involves seven locations as follows:-

(i) Darul Hana in Kuching; (ii) Ranggau, Limbang; (iii) Kampung Datu Baru, Sibu; (iv) Kampung Bunga Rampai, Bau; (v) Beratok, Serian; (vi) Kampung Tabuan Melayu and Kampung Tabuan Foochow; and (vii) Kampung Kapit Baru.

Under Rumah Spektra Permata (RSP), five locations have been identified for the

construction of affordable houses that is:-

(i) Kemuyang, Sibu; (ii) Lundu; (iii) Igan, Mukah; (iv) Tian Matu, Mukah; and (v) Sematan.

The 2019 Development Budget would also propose to allocate a sum of RM270

million for the redevelopment of traditional villages which includes the following projects:

(i) Darul Hana Redevelopment Project; (ii) Kampung Redevelopment for Tabuan Melayu, & Tabuan Foochow; (iii) Kampung Sejingkat Redevelopment; (iv) Project Penempatan Kampung Sungai Bedaun, Kuching;


14

(v) Sandfilling and Infrastructure Works at Kemuyang, Sibu; and (vi) Kapit Baru Redevelopment Project, Kapit.

A further sum of RM63.4 million would also be set aside for the implementation of 25

kampung extension or residential schemes throughout the State to provide residential lots complete with the necessary infrastructures and utilities services. This effort is aimed at raising the living standard of our rural community.

Tuan Speaker, we have also plan for the three development agencies in RECODA

that is the upper rural development agency, Ulu Rajang development agency ODA, which is given RM1.5 billion high development agency in the Baram area RM1.5 billion and the north development agency northern part of Sarawak another RM1.5 billion. Of course all from State fund.

(vii) Enhancing Human Capital Development and Government Service Delivery

The State Government will continue with its effort to train a pool of competent workers and professionals who are equipped with knowledge, skills and other qualities that meet the demands of the job market. Priority will continue to be given in the technical and vocational education. In this connection, a sum of RM112 million is proposed to implement various projects including Centres of Technical Excellence (CENTEXS) in Lundu and Lawas as well as Pusat Pembangunan Kemahiran Sarawak (PPKS).

The 2019 Budget also proposed to allocate RM120 million for the construction and renovation of government offices and quarters so as to provide conducive working environment for the civil service. A conducive working environment will enhance productivity and government service delivery.

(viii) Rebuilding and Upgrading of Dilapidated Schools

There are a total of 1,020 dilapidated schools in the State of which 415 are considered critically dilapidated. Education is a subject under the purview and responsibility of the Federal Government as enshrined in the Federal Constitution but the current state of schools particularly those in the rural schools require our immediate attention. In fact, the previous Federal Government had in its 2018 Budget approved RM1.0 billion special allocation for the repair and upgrading of the dilapidated schools. The new Federal Government ought to fulfil this obligation by providing the funding as approved. In fact, the amount is hardly sufficient. We need much more than RM1.0 billion to repair, replace and rebuild all the critically dilapidated schools in the State.

Unfortunately, the 2019 Federal Budget did not indicate any allocation for dilapidated schools in Sarawak.

Tuan Speaker, it is disheartening to see our children have long been suffering from such poor quality condition and are forced to study in such inferior learning environment. The state has to step in to facilitate the development of schools in Sarawak using State fund and will continue to do so next year. A sum of RM81.7 is proposed to be allocated to rebuild, repair and upgrade the dilapidated schools including providing water and electricity supplies.

Tuan Speaker, the development allocation as proposed in our 2019 State Budget shows only a partial picture of the overall public sector expenditure in the State as programmes and projects that are funded directly by the Federal Government and through alternative funding are not reflected in the State Budget proposal as highlighted.


15

The State is committed to spend about RM11.0 billion in the next two years for the implementation of various projects including water and electricity supplies as well as road networks.

New Financial Model

The State is leveraging on a new financial model namely, via the Development Bank of Sarawak (DBoS) as well as opportunity in the capital market to source for competitive alternative funding.

Utilisation of alternative fund raised through DBoS and capital market would allow the State to manage its cash flow more efficiently and at the same time, ensuring financial capacity to take care of its other responsibilities of the State.

The ability to leverage on these alternative sources of funding would ensure funds are readily available to support the development momentum of the State. In this way, the State could have the fiscal flexibility in strategizing its development agenda and managing its cash flow to meet its expenditure and at the same time building adequate reserves to meet any economic uncertainties and for a sustainable future.

Walkabout Projects

Tuan Speaker, to date, a total of 282 walkabout projects costing RM6.3 billion have been approved for implementation. Most of these projects are roads and bridges, water and electricity supplies, housing and social amenities. These projects aim at providing better public facilities and amenities particularly to the rural economy.

Out of the 282 approved projects, 257 projects are in the pre-contract stage, 20 projects are under construction and five projects have been completed. Most of these projects are scheduled for completion by the end of 2020.

Rural Transformation Projects (RTP)

To date, a total sum of RM1.45 billion has been allocated to various implementing

agencies to implement 4,812 projects throughout Sarawak. As at 31st August 2018, 2,496 projects or 52% had been completed while the

remaining 2,316 projects of 48% are still at various stages of implementation.

Federal Funding

Tuan Speaker, during the tabling of the Federal Mid-Term Review of the 11th Malaysia Plan 2016-2020, the Prime Minister, YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has presented the new direction of the Federal Government, which among others, include the reduction of development expenditure ceiling from original allocation of RM260 billion to RM220 billion to consolidate its fiscal position. However, despite the reduction in the development expenditure ceiling, he has given assurance that priority will be given to development in Sarawak and Sabah to spur both States to higher economic growth.

In accelerating the development in Sarawak and Sabah, Federal Government will undertake the steps as follows:-

(a) Intensifying economic growth and development planning; (b) Improving infrastructure for better connectivity; (c) Expanding access to basic infrastructure, amenities and services;


16

(d) Increasing employment opportunity; and (e) Enhancing the development of customary land.

We call upon the Federal Government to fulfil these promises made. The State of

Sarawak has contributed significantly to the national economic growth as well as to the Federal Government coffer in terms of collection of taxes and revenue from oil and gas. It is only fair that the Federal Government provided more equitable allocation to the State of Sarawak, particularly for development purposes. This is imperative so that all Sarawakian can enjoy the same quality of life as our counterpart and to narrow its development gap with that of Peninsular Malaysia.

The allocation for Sarawak of RM4.346 billion as announced in the 2019 Federal budget is only 7.94% of the total development budget as compared to RM4.336 billion in 2018, which was 9.42% of the total development budget. The 2019 Federal budget does not reflect a fair and equitable allocation to the State of Sarawak despite the promise made by the State Pakatan Harapan to make sure that the State of Sarawak and Sabah will get 30% of the Federal development allocation.

Project Delivery Excellence and Good Governance

Tuan Speaker, we have set up the State Development Coordination Committee to monitor the progress of all high impact infrastructure and amenity projects to ensure speedy and timely project implementation, and most importantly, exercising financial probity and in compliance with practices of good governance.

Conclusion

Tuan Speaker, in conclusion, the 2019 Budget will mark the first time of significant increase in revenue exceeding RM10.0 billion. The expected revenue for next year is almost double the revenue of this year. The bold measure by the State to impose sales tax effective 1st January, 2019 on petroleum products at the rate of 5% is expected to contribute significantly to the State revenue. With a good level of revenue, we shall be able to support our expenditure.

I would like to reiterate that the imposition of sales tax on petroleum products is our

rights as enshrined in the Federal Constitution. We will continue with our efforts to enhance and diversify the State revenue base within the provisions of the law to enable us to accelerate the development of the State towards achieving our vision in making Sarawak a high income State by 2030.

The “new financial model” would not only allow the State to exercise financial flexibility in managing our cash flow, but also provide ready funding for the implementation of strategic projects that would expedite economic progress and economic growth for the State.

While the State is focusing on the pursuit of its development objectives towards achieving greater economic progress for the benefit of our rakyat, we should not lose sights of the national political development, key global economic headwinds as well as geopolitical tensions that would have an impact on the State economy.

I would therefore like to assure this august House that the State GPS Government will continue to manage our financial resources prudently and to ensure that the culture of financial discipline is embedded at all levels for the State long term financial sustainability and financial autonomy.

Tuan Speaker, the destiny of Sarawak, can only be determined by Sarawakian within the framework of the State Constitution, Federal Constitution and the Malaysia Agreement. With that spirit, I am certain that we can move forward with the unity of Sarawakian.

ini dibacakan bagi kali yang kedua. Terima Kasih. Timbalan Ketua Menteri, Menteri Permodenan Pertanian, Tanah Adat dan Pembangunan Wilayah (YB Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas): Tuan Speaker, saya menyokong.
