Other committee members are Mexwell Rojis (Amanah), Mohamad Fadilah Sabali (Amanah), Andri Zulkarnen (Amanah), Pelawan assemblyman David Wong (DAP), Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii (DAP) and Roland Engan (PKR).
The secretariat said the state coalition had also established new bureaus, including on Land Reform and on Public Service which is headed by Joshua Jabeng (PKR) and Leon Donald (DAP) respectively.
“Considering the hardship faced by the community, PH had also planned several programmes to ease the difficulties faced by the people, especially those who are badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” it said.
Aside from that, it said PH Sarawak will keep an open mind on possible seat negotiations with political allies of the coalition.
