“Unfortunately, this is a rather short trip, but next time when I come here (Sarawak), I hope to visit the Premier and some of the Deputy Premiers and relevant ministry so that can we can work closely to improve not just internet coverage but other services covered under my ministry,” she said.
She said this to reporters after paying an official visit to Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) Sarawak here on Sunday (Mar 19).
On the purpose of her visit, Teo said it was to meet the officers and agencies under her ministry and to build rapport among each other.
“Sarawak is a very important ‘wilayah’ (region), so I feel very happy that I have this opportunity to come here despite the short working visit. But at least it is a good start,” she said.
Teo added she and her Minister Fahmi Fadzil will try their best to visit every state in the country in order to get a better understanding of the situation they are facing.
Teo who is Kulai MP arrived here earlier during the day and is scheduled to leave for Kuala Lumpur the same night.
