The session identified four main issues affecting business operations in Sarawak. Energy consumption and generation was highlighted as a key concern, particularly in ensuring reliable and cost-effective electricity supply for businesses. Land conversion and land use categories were also discussed, with challenges arising from zoning restrictions and land development approvals. Additionally, human capital and workforce readiness were recognized as critical factors, emphasizing the need for better data on employee availability and graduate skill-matching to meet industry demands. Lastly, concerns related to gas and water supply were raised, focusing on their availability, cost, and regulatory challenges. Addressing these issues is essential to creating a more conducive and competitive business environment in Sarawak. To further enhance the ease of doing business in Sarawak, it was proposed to conduct engagement sessions with key stakeholders, including the Economic Planning Unit (EPU), to gain broader insights and align strategies. Additionally, InvestSarawak suggested mapping the business journey based on sectoral perspectives to better tailor regulatory improvements and policy interventions to the needs of different industries.
