GE15: Any DPM from S'wak, Sabah must have power, not just for protocol only, says Abang Jo


KUCHING: Any deputy prime minister's post given to Sarawak or Sabah after the 15th General Election (GE15) should come with power and not just be for protocol's sake, says Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Sarawak Premier welcomed the proposal to have three deputy prime ministers, including one from the state, but said it must not be a ceremonial post.
