KUCHING, July 13 — Sarawak will play a role in helping Indonesia to build its new capital Nusantara in Kalimantan, said Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Premier said there will be many opportunities ahead in Kalimantan, especially in areas near Nusantara, which is likely to draw some 30 million people from Jakarta and its greater metropolitan area.

“Singapore’s Prime Minister was asking me about Nusantara and whether Sarawak will help them in building their capital. I (told Lee Hsien Loong) yes, the Indonesian government has asked us to help them,” Abang Johari said when officiating at the Singapore Business Delegation Networking Dinner here yesterday.

According to him, Nusantara is just 400km from Kapit and 500km from Kuching.

He cited agriculture, services, and high technology as sectors where Singapore and Sarawak could collaborate.

Abang Johari pointed out Sarawak is currently upgrading its tourism infrastructure including resorts as well as public transportation system with the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) system using hydrogen expected to be ready by 2026.

“That is our plan. If we have the ART, Sarawak could possibly be the first in the region to deploy the hydrogen-based rail-less train-like system,” he added.

He also noted there have been more Singaporeans buying houses in Sarawak recently under the Malaysia My Second Home Programme.

“You know our houses are cheap. It takes only one hour for you to get here and actually, (the time to get to Sarawak) is shorter than Johor where you have to bear with the long queues to pass through the immigration checkpoint.

“When you go to Sarawak, not only the duration of your trip to Sarawak will be shorter, you also get to stay in your own house and enjoy good kolok mee while in Sarawak,” he said. — Borneo Post

Sarawak has plenty of " green " electricity and energy.
Most of its electricity are from hydro dams which the state plans to build even more.
And power is cheap. Just average 30 sen per kWhr peak. Only 18 sen off peak based on sarawak emergy web site.
Plus plenty of LNG.

So can buy house in Sarawak?

Probably another crappy, soulless and ugly capital infused with many occult symbols. With Sinkieland involved that is all but guaranteed.

Refer to the new capitals in other countries: Brasilia of Brazil, Astana of Kazakhstan.

sg will most likely help build a mall with ktvs on level 6.9, beauty salons on level 6, tuition centers on level 5, food court and restaurants on level 4, children’s shops and toy stores on level 3, clothing and apparel on level 2, cafes and fast food on level 1, confectioneries, bakeries, eateries in basement 1, ntuc fairprice in basement 2. very formulaic.

Kalimantan is full of jungles. To attract visitors and investors to their new capital, the Indon authorities need to build new factories,waterfront resorts. But first thing they need to do is to cull and eradicate all the booming crocs populations there . PAP did that well when they culled all the crocs lurking in the rivers of Jurong during the JTC reclaimation project back in the 60s.

What we see in 60s in Jurong is nothing compared to Kalimantan !

Agree on your analysis. Many infrastructures need to be built. Investors would want a stable Government and a peace of mind for them to set up their businesses there. For sure major companies would not want a repeat of the bloody race riots that happened years back between the Dayaks and the Madurese. Kalimantan is a vast territory with different ethnic groups.

 

[mudhatter]

tokkok only lah.

just more wishful thinking by stinkies.


stinkies can't run their postage stamp sized country and want to help indon?

how exactly will 30 million Indon relocate to Kalimantan and has Indon got any tech work ethic IQ or other advantage over others that it can transform Kalimantan into a developed country?

they can't even build a freaking military yet decades after return to democracy
got zero influence in ASEAN
which is why ASEAN did zilch against burma on Rohingya issue
lost against ozzies in east timor

sending maids all around the world
unlike top 3 populous countries (tiong ceca yankee) who are in top 12 of NatureIndex in subjects that matter (physics chem etc), Indon not even in top 30!!!

pathetic & lousy as it gets
rubbish
they don't have a big brand
high tech company
any legends
scholars
intellectuals
civilization of note
or anything

just read Ibn Battuta's Rihla and everything will become clear enough.

just tokkok by these chaps

Singapore government everything want to be champion, help here & there. When we need help, you think these countries will bother about us. They always get the credits but it is the people (us) who paid the price.
