I am a Christians and whether you are a  Christian, Buddhist or Muslim, whether you&#8217;re a Chinese, Malay, Bidayuh or Iban, or what you look like or whether you&#8217;re rich or poor, the government has the responsibility to ensure that everyone is given the same opportunity, &#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the majority of the population is just average, he opinioned that there must be policies that prioritise assisstance for the poor, the sick and the average.
