KUCHING: With RM30 billion in the state reserves, Sarawak will be able to host more sports events at Asian, international or world level.
Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the reserves can be used to build and develop sports facilities to host these high-level championships.
“It is our vision to become a sports powerhouse in the country and that is why we are building many sports facilities that are of world standard,” he said during the welcoming dinner for participants of the Malaysian International Open Masters Athletics Championship at a local hotel on Saturday.
