Describing Sarawak’s new economy as an economy built upon renewable resources and environmental sustainability and digitalisation, Abang Johari said Sarawak would need a second layer of leaders in the corporate and government sectors to develop the economy further. Abang Johari mentioned these when speaking at a luncheon with Sarawak students studying in universities in and around Leeds.
