TAN Sri Adenan Satem’s huge across-the-board electoral mandate enables him to form a truly multi-ethnic government reflective of Sarawak’s rich cultural and religious diversity. In the last two years since becoming chief minister, many of his policies and pronouncements have borne testimony to his inclusive approach to society. Some of them are a continuation of what his predecessors, especially Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud, had done in their endeavour to preserve inter-ethnic harmony.
By giving special emphasis to “respect” among and “equality” for all Sarawakians, Adenan has helped to create an atmosphere that is conducive for cohesiveness and solidarity within the state.
