Deputy Sarawak Chief Minister Alfred Jabu Anak Numpang, who is also the minister for rural development, should be disciplined and held responsible if it is true that six out of eight rural growth centres under his ministry have failed.

"The authorities should examine why these centres are a failure, and if it is found out that they have failed, then the minister involved must take full responsibility,” Ba'Kelalan assemblyperson Baru Bian said.
