AS concerned people in Sarawak, we are deeply perturbed by the recent political developments in the country, in particular where references have been made to Sarawak.
For example, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, president of PAS, one of the coalition parties in the new government, has stated that “Only bumiputra Muslim can be chief minister” in Sarawak (“Sarawak polls: Only bumiputra Muslim can be chief minister, says Hadi Awang”, The Star, March 5; online at bit.ly/star_pas). Such a statement is extremely detrimental to the excellent racial harmony in Sarawak and is not enshrined in the state’s Constitution.
