KUALA LUMPUR: Former Sarawak yang di-pertua negeri and chief minister Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud had left behind a strong economic legacy, which helped the state to accumulate a reserve fund totalling RM31bil as of 2018, said Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) women vice-chief Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

She said with such reserves, the Sarawak government did not have to worry when it suddenly became the opposition after Pakatan Harapan took over the Federal Government following Barisan Nasional's (BN) defeat in the 14th General Election.
