The text of his speech was read by Sarawak Financial Secretary Datuk Seri Dr Wan Lizozman Wan Omar at the launch of Affin Bank Jalan Satok Branch, here, today. Abang Johari said the bank's continued presence and expansion in the state should be matched with a deeper commitment to supporting the SME ecosystem, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas that are pivotal to Sarawak's economic transformation agenda.
