KUCHING: The State Legislative Assembly (DUN) complex area will be turned into a centre to promote the artistic and cultural contribution of the multi-ethnic communities of Sarawak.

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said although the government is focussing on its digital economy agenda to turn Sarawak into a developed state, it also prioritised the development of a vibrant cultural economy.
