Sabah's diverse ethnicity should be reflected in its civil service, says Ewon

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government must ensure that its recruitment and placement of civil servants should reflect all ethnic groups and religions, Datuk Ewon Benedick (Upko-Kadamaian) told the state assembly here.

"New appointments to the state civil service, including those at federal level in Sabah, should be a representation of all ethnicities and religions. This includes appointments to department heads and promotions," said the Upko president when debating the Sabah Budget 2024 on Monday (Nov 27).
