KUCHING, Oct 18: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has reminded leaders to rely on accurate facts when addressing problems, using the local expression “embat-embat butak” to drive home his message.
Speaking at the launch of the “Satu Pemimpin, Satu Kampung” programme in Gedong today, he stressed the importance of having the right information when dealing with issues.
“We must have the correct facts when dealing with problems. We must not ‘embat-embat butak’,” he said. The event was livestreamed on the Sarawak Public Communication Unit’s (UKAS) Facebook page.
The expression “embat-embat butak”, which means doing something blindly or without careful thought, was used to stress the importance of having the right facts rather than acting recklessly or making decisions without proper consideration.
