Abang Johari arrives to attend the World Hydrogen Asia Conference 2025 in Tokyo, Japan. Behind him is Sarawak State Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki. – Ukas photo KUCHING (July 10): The selection of Bintulu as the site of Malaysia's first Transitioning Industrial Cluster (TIC) is a powerful recognition of Sarawak's strategic potential and its commitment to clean industrial transformation, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. He said the selection is a major milestone not just for Sarawak but for Malaysia. 'Bintulu has been selected as the site of Malaysia's first Transitioning Industrial Cluster (TIC) – a prestigious initiative led by the World Economic Forum. This places Sarawak on the global map, joining 35 industrial clusters across 16 countries, including 30 port-anchored hubs, representing an incredible 66 per cent of global GDP. 'This is a powerful recognition of Bintulu's strategic potential and Sarawak's commitment to clean industrial transformation,' he said in his keynote address at the World Hydrogen Asia 2025 in Tokyo, Japan, today. According to Abang Johari, the TIC initiative brings together public and private stakeholders to co-develop innovative low-carbon solutions. 'It will reduce CO2 emissions, spur green growth, and create future-ready jobs. This is where the future of industry begins—where climate ambition meets economic opportunity. And we are proud that Sarawak will lead Malaysia as the first to chart this path forward. 'Sarawak did it first. And we are just getting started and I would like to invite you to partner and innovate with us in Sarawak,' he said. Abang Johari said the TIC initiative aligns with Sarawak's broader efforts to position itself as a regional leader in clean energy and sustainable industrialisation through its Sarawak Hydrogen Economy Roadmap and Sarawak Sustainability Blueprint 2030. 'All of this is backed by strong enablers—governance, infrastructure, financing, workforce development, and regulatory clarity. Together, they form a realistic yet transformative platform for Sarawak to emerge as a regional hydrogen leader,' he said. 'We believe that hydrogen is not just a clean molecule—it is a connector. It connects energy to climate, industry to innovation, and nations to opportunity.'

Both state, federal civil servants in Sarawak to have additional public holiday on June 4
Photo for illustration purposes only. KUCHING (May 27): Both state and federal civil servants in Sarawak will have an additional public holiday on June 4. A notice from State Secretary Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki dated yesterday stated that the additional holiday is to replace overlapping public holidays on June 2. 'The Sarawak government has agreed to declare June 4, 2025 (Wednesday) as a public holiday for the Sarawak civil service, including Sarawak statutory bodies and Sarawak local authorities, in view of the overlapping celebration of Gawai Dayak and the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong's Birthday,' he said in the notice. A similar notice was issued by Sarawak Federal Secretary Datuk Ahmad Nadzri Mohd Hassan today for federal civil servants. 'In accordance with the letter declaring an additional public holiday declaration from the Sarawak State Secretary dated May 26, 2025 in relation to the above matter, it is hereby notified that June 4, 2025 (Wednesday) is also an additional public holiday for the federal civil service, including federal statutory bodies, in Sarawak,' said Ahmad Nadzri. June 3 is also a public holiday to replace the first day of Gawai Dayak on June 1, as it is a Sunday. On May 10, the Labour Department had said employees observing Gawai Dayak will be entitled to a replacement holiday on June 3 since June 2, which is the second day of Gawai, overlaps with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's Birthday. It explained that according to the Labour Ordinance (Sarawak Chapter 76), the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's Birthday is a day off that must be given to employees and cannot be replaced with another day, while Gawai is an optional day off that is set based on the religion and culture of the employee. 'For employees under the Ordinance who are given Gawai holidays, June 3, 2025 should be used as the replacement day off. However, this replacement date may be changed to another day by mutual agreement between the employer and employee, in accordance with Section 104(2) of the same Ordinance,' the statement read. It added that Section 104(1) of the Ordinance also provides that if any holiday falls on an employee's rest day, then the next working day shall be made a substitute holiday. 'For example, if June 1, 2025 is an employee's rest day, then June 3, 2025 should be made a public holiday, while June 4, 2025 will be the second public holiday,' it added.
