DUN Sitting (Day Five): Jabu - 4 hectres per family can lift state’s economy

(Nov 05, 2010)

SARAWAK is recommending a ‘4-ha rubber or oil palm per family’ policy for inclusion in the federal government’s development programmes in the next 10 years in the state.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang, who mentioned this at the august House yesterday, believed this could lift the state’s gross domestic product (GDP) to be on par with those of the developed states.

“Four hectres of rubber and 4 hectres of oil palm per family are recommended to the federal government for inclusion in its development programmes for the next 10 years, (that is) to the year 2020,” he said.
