KUCHING: It is "critically important" for the Federal Government to give Sarawak more funding for much-needed infrastructure projects and basic amenities, Tan Sri Adenan Satem (pic) said. 

The Chief Minister said the allocation for the state under Budget 2017 was "barely sufficient", given Sarawak's vast area and the huge development gap between the state and Peninsular Malaysia.
