Including those from district and sub-district offices, there are 194 people serving Miri Division in various capacities
The small number of staff poses a great challenge in monitoring and tackling urban and rural development in Sarawak, states Acting Deputy Resident Rose anak Edward Tarang. Nevertheless, she believes that Miri Resident Office is committed to supporting aspirations of the Sarawak Government, which is also in line with its vision and mission, as seen here in the lobby of the deputy resident’s office
