Sarawak Budget 2027 asks government agencies and civil servants to deliver public digital services, stronger data governance and cybersecurity, faster broadband and AI projects, while training staff and simplifying processes so residents and businesses across Sarawak feel real daily improvements.

Sarawak’s 2027 Budget, tabled on 12 October 2026, plans record revenue of RM15.091 billion and a RM246 million surplus. It sets development spending at RM10.098 billion to improve infrastructure, human capital and new industries while shielding households from cost pressures.
