Sarawak has two Hazmat units; the first was established in Tabuan Jaya, Kuching in 2011 and the second in Bintulu in 2014. The Hazmat operation in Bintulu was set up due to the division’s rapid growth in the heavy industry which has been driving Sarawak and Malaysia’s industrialisation through the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
Betong, Sri Aman and parts of Sarikei has a huge potential to be the State food basket region and a net food exporter by 2030, constructing the airport is a logistic necessity if Sarawak is to export fresh food and farm products to the global market.
Rivers are vital in driving socio-economic development. Among many other roles, they provide sources of fresh clean water, help generate hydroelectric energy, irrigate agricultural land, and acts as a foundation for new settlements.
