KUALA LUMPUR: Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari has hinted at Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof’s re-nomination in the upcoming 15th General Election (GE15).

Abang Joahri said he believed that Fadillah will be able to secure the Petra Jaya parliamentary seat if nominated.

“Datuk Seri Fadillah, InsyaAllah, will win if nominated,” he said.

He said this during the ‘Lan Berambeh Anak Sarawak’ 2022 dinner reception which was graced by Head of State Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) here last night (Oct 15).

Fadillah, who is also the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chief whip, represented Petra Jaya for four terms since winning the seat for the first time in the 2004 general election.

In the 2018 general election, Fadillah defended the seat in a three-cornered fight against Nor Irwan Ahmat Nor of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Hamdan Sani of Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) with a majority voter of 15,017.

Earlier, Abang Johari said that the Sarawak government is committed to grow the state economy from six to eight percent as well as make Sarawak a developed state with high income under the Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS 2030).

“Just recently, I managed to bring an investment of more than USD600 million to Sarawak which will see the expansion of the existing ferroalloys and ferrosilicon smelting facility in Samalaju Industrial Park in Bintulu.

“At the same time, large Japanese companies will also buy hydrogen that is produced by Sarawak,” he said.

Following these developments, he said it proves that Sarawak is well recognised in the world, and this further requires the state to develop its talents and having certain expertise to meet the state needs to accelerate its economy.
