Malaysia's high social media use may undermine productivity and social cohesion. While connectivity grows, problematic use risks fragmenting attention and deepening divisions. Sarawak's PCDS 2030 ambitions demand focus, yet usage data alone cannot measure harm. Evidence-based measurement and digital literacy are urgently needed.

Sarawak is fighting a growing wave of online fake news and digital scams. The state government is building strong digital literacy programmes to protect all citizens. This ensures rural communities stay safe from harmful misinformation while enjoying modern internet connectivity.

Sarawak has made strong progress in living heritage through legal protection, funding and craft revival. Yet gaps remain in access, daily transmission, protection, geography and youth involvement. A simple village micro-circle proposal could help heritage survive through regular elder-guided practice.

Sarawak is transforming its state-owned enterprises to boost economic growth and improve overall corporate governance. This new programme aims to make these organisations financially independent and highly profitable by the year 2030 through strict accountability and major strategic reforms.

Sarawak's traditional games teach courage, patience and teamwork. Documentation alone cannot keep them alive. Children must play them daily at home, in school and in communities. ICT can help, but only if it leads to real play, not just screens.

Governance frameworks look good on paper but hide weak ethical cultures. Artificial achievements, such as high training completion and zero violations, can mask fear, silence and metric gaming. Real integrity needs honest outcomes, safe reporting and leaders who model accountability.
