KUCHING, July 4 — A new Astana Negeri, the official residence of the Sarawak governor, will be built to replace the present building, Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said today.
“The present Astana is a bit run down. We want to turn that Astana into another museum where we can showcase artefacts related to the governors,” he told reporters after meeting with the Association of Art and Culture Activists here. “That is the plan of the state government. When the design of the new Astana is already there, then it is probably when it is going to start construction,” he said, adding that everything is in the plan.
The present building is located on the north bank of the Sarawak River, facing the Kuching Waterfront.
