| description | The failure of the colonial government to develop the economic sector for this state
was due to the adoption of a biased development approach. The biased approach focused on the
potential of existing urban areas, and on economic growth oriented rather than distributed growth.
Various economic development projects had been implemented since Sarawak became part of
Malaysia. As the biggest state in the country with multi-ethnic population, Sarawak definitely needs
more strategic development approach and attention from the central government. The Ninth Malaysia
Plan has shown that spatial inequality in Sarawak has widened and needs attention. The launching of
Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) marked the shift to the new approach of
development in improving the spatial inequality in Sarawak through regional development strategy.
This paper discusses the spatial inequality in Sarawak and explore the potential role of SCORE in
regional development. |
