SIBU, Feb 10 ― Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has suggested that the Sarawak government establish a quota system based on ethnicity for the recruitment of civil servants.
“I welcome the suggestion of the YAB Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, who proposed improving the salary scheme for civil servants in Sarawak. This effort is seen to be able to attract more people in the state, not only the Chinese, but other races to join the state’s public service.
“In relation to this, I recommend that the Sarawak government establish a quota system at the recruitment level, which is where the injustice usually begins. “Not only that, we can also see appointments from ethnic groups and non-Malays who are beginning to be entrusted to steer the highest positions, both in the public administration of Sarawak and government-related companies ,” said Nanta.
He said the government wanted to upgrade the state civil service, which would include adjustments to the salary system, to ensure a competent workforce and at the same time, fight corruption.
