MIRI: The state government is urged to review the hiring policy of oil and gas companies operating in Sarawak to make sure they include Sarawakians.

Speaking at a press conference here yesterday, president of Dayak Think Tank group (DTTG) Elias Lipi Mat said the rights of local people to work in the oil and gas industry could not be underestimated because many of the industry workers were most sought after for their experience and expertise. The industry here is after all over 100 years old.
