Sarawak is undergoing an economic transformation through mega-projects like AirBorneo, Petros, and a hydrogen-powered Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) system as part of its Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030. Driven by a vision of data-driven innovation and sustainability, questions have arisen about the state's readiness and fiscal resilience. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak's senior lecturer, Dzul Hadzwan Husaini, highlights the value of outsourcing expertise for knowledge transfer, the importance of AirBorneo's commercial orientation, and the necessity of the work permit requirement for non-Sarawakian Malaysians. Additionally, the expansion of airport capacity is seen as vital for economic integration, while investments in a hydrogen-powered ART system are justified for Sarawak's carbon-neutrality transition. These strategic initiatives aim to propel Sarawak towards economic prosperity, social inclusivity, and environmental sustainability.
