He emphasized that the state government is providing these opportunities to all communities, but urged the Bumiputera community not to be left behind. \"What we need to worry about is not the opportunities opened to others. What we should worry about is whether our Bumiputera children are seizing those open opportunities,\" Dr Annuar stated in Sibu.
