Malaysia-Indonesia border talks: Sabah, Sarawak leaders to join delegation
Published on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 22, 2025 By: TV Sarawak Text Size: KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor will join Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim's delegation for the Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation in Jakarta on July 29. Key discussions will include the Sulawesi Sea maritime boundary. Anwar said their participation is essential, as any border agreement must be approved by the Sabah and Sarawak governments. He reaffirmed his practice of involving both state leaders in major bilateral talks. Responding to a question about the 2002 ICJ ruling on Ligitan and Sipadan, Anwar said the matter is unrelated to ongoing Sulawesi Sea negotiations, which remain unresolved. He noted that the 2023 Sulawesi Sea Treaty includes a non-disclosure clause and stressed that talks with Indonesia, led by President Prabowo Subianto, aim for compromise while preserving sovereignty and friendly ties. Anwar said Malaysia remains committed to resolving the issue through dialogue, without straining military or diplomatic relations. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Two Japanese firms plan US$1.5 bln investment in high-tech, chemical sectors in Sarawak
KUCHING: Sarawak continues to strengthen its appeal as an international investment destination, as two major companies from Japan plan to invest US$1.5 billion (US$1=RM4.25) in the high-tech and chemical industries in the region. According to a report by TV Sarawak (TVS) today, Sarawak Deputy Premier and Minister of International Trade, Industry and Investment Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan is currently in Osaka, Japan to discuss details of the investments. One of the projects involves the construction of a semiconductor-grade polycrystalline silicon production facility by Japan's Tokuyama Corporation in collaboration with South Korea's OCI Company Ltd., with the investment estimated at around US$435 million. 'This project has the potential to position Sarawak among the top five global locations in high-performance semiconductor production technology,' the report said, citing a statement from the Sarawak Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment. Another planned investment involves a consortium of Japanese companies in the chemical sector, with the investment estimated to reach US$1 billion. Feasibility studies and site evaluations have already begun, with the Sarawak government also committed to expediting the approval process to ensure that investment decisions can be finalised soon. Both investments align with the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030, which emphasises economic prosperity, social inclusiveness, and environmental sustainability. 'The Sarawak government is always committed to supporting the implementation of high-impact investment projects like these. We offer a stable and competitive business environment, equipped with modern infrastructure and a skilled workforce,' said Awang Tengah. He added that the Sarawak government will provide full support to ensure the smooth implementation and success of these investments.
