Including the grandmaster, his "yang dikasehi" Deputy, 3 so-called senior ministers, 5 ministers, and a hordes of19 assistant ministers, the number of the Majlis Mesyuarat Kerjaan Negeri, or aptly, the State Cabinet, is a record in its number. There are 29 of them. In West Malaysia, these guys in suits are called the State Excos. Penang and Selangor, two PR administered States, who are among the richest and advanced in Malaysia, have far less "ministers" combined compared to my beloved Sarawak.This speaks volume on comparative perceptions of tax payers interpretations of the need for a State like Sarawak to have such sheer size of a cabinet.
Effectively, they will be tens and tens of glittering BMWs, Mercedes, private secretaries, personal assistants, support staff, salaries, travel allowances, round -the- world trips and heaps of other perks that their voters and tax payers will cough to maintain their upkeep and life style.
Now, roll up your sleeves and toil to serve us Sarawakians. Please walk the talk and deliver your sworn promises to us.

BW, don't compare Swak to the other States in Msia. Their area size alone is too small compare to Swak...thus the need for us to have an enlarged executive to serve the State.
