BEKENU: Every member of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) plays an important role in introducing the new political entity at the grass roots level.
Women, Family and Childhood Development Assistant Minister Rosey Yunus said it was crucial to enhance awareness now so as to instil confidence and avoid confusion on GPS among the society, especially the voters.
“Now, we have a new home of our own called GPS, and the hornbill logo which signifies Sarawak defending its rights is just like how hornbills are protected,” she said during the second day of the GPS Flag Rally at Bekenu Community Hall yesterday.
Rosey, who is also the Bekenu assemblywoman, said everyone should be given a clear explanation of GPS, especially in its main objective of wanting to gain back Sarawak’s rights.
“Now that we can lead the state on our own, it will not be an easy fight but we must all work hand-in-hand to ensure the people have confidence in us,” she said.
Lambir assemblyman Ripin Lamat said the initiative taken by GPS youth and women wings to travel across Sarawak in introducing its newly launched logo was a tiring journey but that was the kind of sprit the people wanted to see.
“The GPS rally groups are in high spirit to promote their new logo and that such spirit should be manifested in its fight for Sarawak,” he said.
Ripin added that under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, GPS was able to secure a better future for Sarawak.
Serembu assemblyman Miro Simuh, who was also present, said that GPS would never let Malayan leaders or parties destroy the party’s unity and the unity of the people.
“In GPS, besides fighting for what is ours, we want to ensure to preserve peace and harmony among the people of different races and religions,” he said.
Yesterday, after the flag rally in Bekenu and Bintulu, the convoy groups continued their journey to Mukah.
Today, the groups are expected to proceed to Selangau in the morning and go to Sibu in the evening.
