COMMENT | Sarawak Darul Hana it is not!

COMMENT | At last, Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg has cleared the air. Sarawak will not change the state’s name to Sarawak Darul Hana.
I wonder why it took the chief minister that long to do so. The issue has been hotly debated for weeks with many Sarawakians expressing their unhappiness and resentment over the purported name change.
Perhaps Abang Jo has good reasons to delay the announcement. Probably, he wanted to gauge the reactions from Sarawakians over the Darul Hana name. And he got the message loud and clear.
