KUCHING, Aug 2, 2023 – Sarawak is set to unveil its impressive new administrative complex, often referred to as the 'Sarawak White House,' in Petra Jaya. The official soft opening ceremony will be graced by Premier Abang Johari Openg this coming Monday, August 7th, strategically aligning with Sarawak’s Independence Day celebrations.
This state-of-the-art complex represents a significant investment in Sarawak’s future, designed to streamline government operations and enhance public service delivery.

A Modern Hub for Sarawak's Administration
The 'White House' isn't merely a building; it's a carefully planned ecosystem designed to bring various government departments and agencies under one roof. This consolidation aims to improve communication, collaboration, and efficiency across the Sarawak government. Key departments expected to operate from the complex include those involved in finance, administration, and strategic planning – vital components of Sarawak's governance.
“This new administrative complex is a testament to our commitment to modernizing Sarawak and providing the best possible services to our people,” stated a spokesperson from the Premier’s office. “We believe this centralized location will foster a more dynamic and responsive government, better equipped to address the evolving needs of our communities.”
Boosting Petra Jaya and the Sarawak Economy
The construction of the 'Sarawak White House' has also had a positive impact on the local economy, creating numerous job opportunities during the building phase. Furthermore, the complex's presence in Petra Jaya is expected to stimulate economic growth in the surrounding area, attracting businesses and investment.
The soft opening on Monday will mark a significant milestone for Sarawak. While the building will be officially open, some departments may gradually transition over time.
