Lebih 70% jawatan pengurusan, profesional persekutuan di Borneo diisi anak tempatan

The Malaysian federal government has reported that 71.88% of management and professional positions in Sabah are held by locals, while in Sarawak, the figure stands at 87.10%, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Sabah/Sarawak Affairs Minister Mustapha Sakmud. These statistics, based on the Human Resources Management System (HRMIS) data of the Public Service Department (JPA) as of October 12, underscore the government's commitment to Sabah and Sarawak's national integration by prioritizing the use of local citizens from these states for employment within their respective states.

During a discussion in the House of Representatives, Mustapha highlighted that JPA holds joint meetings with HR officers from various ministries to outline procedures for appointing non-local staff, with a focus on ensuring Sabahan and Sarawakian candidates are prioritized. This engagement aims to ensure a more comprehensive implementation of Sabah and Sarawak's national integration.

Additionally, the federal government has strengthened monitoring of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) through a status tracking board, integrated via the Sabah and Sarawak Affairs Office (BHESS) website, which functions as a dedicated monitoring system to systematically adjust implementation and provide real-time updates to stakeholders.

Mustapha stated that the government plans to optimize the BHESS facilities by 2027 to strengthen coordination, monitoring, and follow-up actions among all relevant parties to ensure the timely implementation of MA63 decisions in accordance with established authority and processes.
