S’wak govt asked to probe abuse of Penan women

KUCHING: The Sarawak government should take genuine action to investigate and punish those guilty of sexually abusing Penan women, said Sarawak Native Women's Association (Wadesa) president, Hellan Empaing.

"Wadesa is very disappointed with some government politicians who treated this matter as a petty issue," she said in a statement here.

Empaing said it was also disheartening to know that Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Alfred Jabu himself denied hearing of such problems from ethnic chiefs when he visited Ulu Baram. - + selanjutnya
