MIRI: Sarawak needs to have at least one “One-Stop IT Digital Improvement Centre” in each of its 82 state constituencies due to the vastness of this state, says the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP).

PDP secretary-general Datuk Nelson Balang Rining said Budget 2020, tabled last Friday (Oct 11), only provides funds for setting up 14 such centres in each state, which is definitely not enough to meet the needs of Sarawak.
