BETONG: Sarawak has in Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government its most ideal administration and will not allow itself to be taken for a ride by leaders from outside who do not understand its needs and the peoples’ aspirations.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said since the launching of GPS in Jan 2019, it has been observed how GPS under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg has very clear policies in protecting the state’s rights and wealth as enshrined in the Federal Constitution and Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
“At the same time, we have also seen how many development programmes and aid for the state were cancelled by the Pakatan Harapan (PH) federal government.
“Promises made were not fulfilled and there were many flip-flops in their policies,” he said when officiating at the ‘Sarawak Kami Empu’ seminar held at the community hall here yesterday.
Uggah pointed out that GPS was a state party led by a state leader, and compared to the many existing political parties, GPS was the best.
“We have locals who won in the last general election but they are not fighting for you. There are even those who had publicly admitted to lying in order to win,” he said.
Uggah said Sarawak needed a very strong state government to protect the state’s rights and wealth.
“In GPS, we have a very strong and focused leader in Abang Johari who has over 40 years of experience,” he said.
According to Uggah, Abang Johari had proven his wisdom and ingenuity when he managed to source for extra funding to finance the state’s development programmes.
“He is also an inclusive leader… a chief minister for all races and religions through his many policies and in particular the creation of Unit For Other Religions (Unifor).
“This unit helps in the infrastructural developments of at least 16 different faiths in the state,” he pointed out.
