DAP Sri Aman wants local Sarawakians to helm federal government offices in Sri Aman.


DAP Sri Aman today has commended CM Adenan for adopting DAP's Bintulu Declaration which pushes for more autonomy for Sarawak in Finance, Education, Medical & Security.

In the push for more autonomy for Sarawak, DAP Sri Aman has lauded CM Adenan's call for more autonomy especially education, therefore, locals in Sri Aman have voiced their concerns & made a call to have a local Sarawakian to helm the various Federal Departments especially in Sri Aman.

'There are many local men & women who are very qualified and very senior in the services but are not given chances the lead the various departments. For example in Sri Aman, we have the Police Department & Sri Aman Hospital led Malayans for more than 7 years. They have nevertheless gave a very good service to the folks in Sri Aman but its about time for local Sarawakians to lead!' 

'I would like to suggest to CM Adenan that DAP being a national party has local Sarawakians leading it in Sarawak, why can't the Borneonisation of Sarawak begin with the priority given to lead these government departments must be Sarawakians, as they have better knowledge & understanding of local issues,' said Leon Jimat Donald DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman.

'Under the Malaysia Agreement 1963, the Borneonisation of the civil service should have taken place but 52 after the agreement, the number of Sarawakians getting the responsibility to lead government departments has diminished drastically, this must end', he added.
