THE setting up of the Sarawak Port Authority (LPS) to manage Sarawak’s ports is a necessary step toward becoming a developed state, says the state infrastructure deputy minister.

Sarawak Infrastructure and Port Development Deputy Minister Datuk Majang Renggi said the new port authority would oversee operations of Miri Port, Samalaju Port, Rajang Port, Tanjong Manis Port and Kuching Port.
