Liew becomes first female Chinese Deputy Chief Minister


Liew was all smiles on her first day as the state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister as she shares a light moment with the ministry’s permanent secretary Datu Rosmadi Datu Sulai.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s first Chinese female Deputy Chief Minister Christina Liew is set to become a political dynamo.

Under Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal’s Cabinet, Liew is the first Chinese woman to hold the post, and the second woman after a 24-year vacuum since former Parti Bersatu Sabah’s Datuk Ariah Tengku Ahmad stepped down in 1994.
