SEBUYAU: The unfulfilled promises of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government to Sarawak during its 22-month tenure should serve as lessons to the people and help the latter make the right choice in forthcoming elections, said Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“Soon, the ‘bedok’ (drum) will be played. With the fasting month just around the corner, certain people will enter villages, promising the moon and the stars.
“The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) state government, on the other hand, has been implementing all these development projects for the people.
“If the people extend the mandate to GPS, Sarawak will continue to be elevated sky high, Insya-Allah (God willing),” he said when officiating at the earth-breaking ceremony for Batang Lupar Bridge project at the site here today.
The GPS chairman added the people should continue to put their trust in the incumbent state government because the latter already had all the development projects planned out.
“When I converse with my fellow political comrades, we make preparations including estimating the budgets for the implementation of projects to take place,” he said.
Abang Johari further reminded Sarawakians not to fall victim to sweet words of the same perpetrators who had failed them previously.
“Those sweet words could sometimes end up being sour or bitter. This is what happens when there is a change in the government, especially to a government that makes a lot of promises but does not fulfil them.
“The PH made a lot of pledges and even voiced them out during the state legislative assembly (DUN) sittings, but after they became the government, their promises turned to ‘abu dua sudu’ (ashes),” he added.
