SIBU: Senator Robert Lau Hui Yew has been reappointed Senator for the second term.
He expressed his gratitude to Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim as well as Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg on his reappointment as a Senator.
“I pledge to continue upholding and defending the constitution of this beloved country. At the same time, I will continue to speak on issues on/or related to Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).
“MA63 was the document that gave birth to Malaysia on 16 September 1963. MA63 is the foundation of our constitution. These two documents formed the pillars and shaped the characters of our country,” he said.

Lau also expressed his condolence to the late Senate President, Datuk Mutang Tagal.
“It is also with sadness that I stand here to be sworn in not before the Speaker, the late Mutang Tagal, who had wanted to preside over my swearing in that was supposed to be last Thursday.
“I send my deepest condolences to his family members and all his loved ones on his passing,” he said.
