“The new system should be impartial, transparent, and inclusive from the initial stage till recruitment is done.

Sarawak, she added, is a multi-ethnic state hence it was crucial to ensure that fair representation was reflected where it deserved and calling to revamp the system was the way forward for the Sarawak civil service.
