Sarawak aligns tourism development with RMK13 investment zones
KUCHING: The Sarawak government has expressed readiness to align its tourism development strategies with the newly announced tourism investment zones under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13). Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Sarawak's Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts, stated that while the state already possesses strong tourism offerings, further collaboration with federal initiatives will enhance mutual benefits. 'If the tourism investment zones include areas like Mulu, Niah, the Kuching Delta, and the Rainforest World Music Festival, then we are already aligned. We just need deeper discussions,' he said. He emphasised the importance of avoiding overlaps and instead strengthening ongoing and future efforts. Sarawak's tourism sector has shown promising growth this year, with visitor numbers nearing five million and revenue surpassing RM1 billion. Abdul Karim, who also oversees youth and entrepreneurial development, stressed that socioeconomic programs for bumiputera must align with Sarawak's existing ecosystem to ensure effective implementation. He welcomed RMK13's focus on expanding business opportunities through funding, training, and mentorship, noting that the state government has similar initiatives under the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030. Speaking at the Youth EdXchange Programme 2025, he highlighted the importance of youth empowerment. 'Your experiences—from community immersion to sustainability workshops—prove that when given a platform, young people lead with purpose,' he said. The two-day event, attended by 60 participants, fostered cross-cultural collaboration among local and ASEAN youth. - Bernama

Felda communities to boost economy with RM100k village allocation
KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) has unveiled plans to utilise the government's RM100,000 allocation per village to enhance socio-economic development across settler communities. Key initiatives include tourism projects, SME support, and infrastructure upgrades tailored to local needs. In Selangor, Hassan Mukmin Amat, a second-generation settler, proposed developing recreational attractions like an ATV park to boost tourism. 'Sungai Bernam is already popular among anglers, so we can capitalise on that,' he said. In Terengganu, Mat Zain Mat Uyob plans to purchase a tractor to reduce palm oil transportation costs. 'This will save RM60 per ton and increase settlers' income,' he explained. Kedah's Felda Laka Selatan will expand cabin accommodations due to high demand. Rodhi Md Rejab noted, 'Our cabins are fully booked weekly, thanks to our strategic location near schools and the Thai border.' Melaka aims to support local SMEs. Nizam Baharom said, 'A sales hub will help small businesses market snacks like chips and pastries more effectively.' Perlis will focus on facility upgrades and social programmes. Abdul Khair Hashim stressed, 'We'll ensure funds benefit the community long-term.' Pahang, with the most Felda schemes, welcomes the allocation. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail urged residents to maximise the opportunity. NegerI Sembilan and Johor will let villagers decide on projects. Muhammad Fadzli Hasan emphasised income-generating initiatives to foster self-reliance. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the funding yesterday, aligning with the MADANI government's empowerment principles. - Bernama
