SIBU: Bakun Resettlement Scheme residents in Sungai Asap want a permanent bank instead of the proposed mobile bank services for rural areas in the state.
Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said on Dec 16 that Bank Negara Malaysia was working with the Sarawak government and several financial institutions --- Agrobank, Bank Rakyat, Bank Simpanan Nasional and RHB Bank --- to launch the mobile bank services at the end of January next year in rural areas of the state.
