KUCHING, March 8: The call to revamp the Sarawak civil service recruitment system is the way forward for it to be top notch in its delivery.
This is the view of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) women chief Dato Sri Doris Sophia Brodie.
In a press statement today, she expressed her full support to Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) secretary general Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi in regards to his recent statement where he called for the revamping of the Sarawak civil service recruitment system to allow meritocracy and fair representation of Dayak and Chinese.
“Sarawak as we know is multi-ethnic, hence it is crucial to ensure that fair representation is reflected where it deserves.
“Calling to revamp this system is the way forward for Sarawak civil service,” said Doris.
The first-term Sri Aman MP also pointed out that the revamp would enable the aspirations of Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg for a top notch civil service to come true.
It will also allow the Sarawak civil service to hire the best, based on merit so that Sarawak may move forward with the right footing and on fresh ground.
“We need a scheme or system that fundamentally encompasses impartiality, transparency, and inclusiveness from the initial stage until recruitment is done.
“Sarawak needs political will to do so and it needs everyone’s support and sincerity to make it happen,” said Doris.
She echoed Nanta’s revelation that discontent on what many viewed as a lopsided Sarawak civil service representation has been simmering for some time now, but has seen some improvement through the efforts of Abang Johari’s initiative to create a racially balanced civil service.
“We only have seven years before 2030, when Sarawak is supposedly one of the most if not the most developed region in Malaysia,” said Doris.
Nanta, in a social media post earlier today, called for a revamp of the Sarawak civil service recruitment system this morning to ensure a civil service workforce that is based on meritocracy and is racially balanced with more Chinese and Dayaks employed. — DayakDaily
