Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said that pilot projects will be launched in Kuching prior to being implemented state-wide.
In an earlier statement the Chief Minister also stated that this will enable Sarawak to have e-wallet or e-pay which can be linked to our neighbours like Indonesia, Thailand and of course China (Alipay).
This news comes after the Sarawak Government’s announcement of working with Huawei for Sarawak Pay earlier this April.
