MIRI: A local human rights group says it has identified several reasons why Sarawak has a high population of poor families, even though the state is the richest in natural resources in the country.

Society for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of Sarawak (Scrips) said there is a lot of truth behind the latest United Nations report that said Sarawak has a high rate of poverty.
