KUCHING: The state government has adopted a Sarawak-centric approach in its policies in order to be fair to all ethnic groups, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
The Chief Minister said no race or ethnic group would be favoured over another as everyone deserves equal treatment.
"We want to be fair to all. Melanau, Bidayuh, Iban - all are Sarawakians.Even if the state government's leadership is helmed by the Malays, we will be Sarawak-centric," he said.
He said this at the earth-breaking ceremony for the proposed Wisma Melayu at Jalan Diplomatik here on Thursday (Dec 10).
