MIRI: The Federal Government has proposed a review of the current policy on management of grassroot community leaders such as tuai rumah, ketua kampung, penghulu, pemanca and kapitan in Sarawak.

Deputy Rural Development Minister Sivarasa Rasiah came to Kuching last week and said the government wants to implement a new system to manage the payment of salaries to these community leaders.
