KUCHING: Sarawakians have been urged to vote wisely in the 15th general election (GE15) and not to fall for Democratic Action Party’s (DAP) ‘crying wolf’ and fear-mongering tactics.
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) publicity and media relations chairman Datuk Idris Buang said Pakatan Harapan (PH) has been proven through their 22 months at the helm, to be a failed government.
“They had failed to fulfil their many promises. They have failed to serve Sarawak when given the chance and many development projects were either delayed or cancelled.
“They even insulted Sarawak for getting bankrupt within three years, a remark that had been proven wrong otherwise,” he said in a statement today.
He added Chong’s remarks also clearly shows that PH in particular, DAP has no confidence in winning their parliamentary seats in Sarawak.
“Chong’s remark especially on not giving GPS a strong (support) is a kind of instigation that insults the intelligence of Sarawak voters.
“This is clearly insulting and a manifestation of DAP or PH selfish mentality.
He was referring to Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen’s remarks on ‘The best way to strengthen Sarawak is not to give absolute power to GPS’.
“As far as GPS is concerned, we respect every single vote. We appreciate solid support from all Sarawakian voters and regard it as a signal of solidarity and oneness of purpose that GPS is the only capable and responsible party that could practically bring the much needed progress for the people of Sarawak.”
He added DAP and Chong lack of credibility to talk about fighting for Sarawak’s rights under Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) has been shown.
He, therefore, called upon Sarawakian voters to keep their rational mind to spur GPS’s strength and confidence when participating in the federal government as GPS contribution in forming policies will surely suit the best interests of Sarawak and Malaysia.
“We humbly urge all Sarawak voters to go all out to vote GPS in order to give in return what is best for Sarawak from the federal government.
“This will add vigour to an already excellent state government under the Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg; to boost Sarawak’s endeavor on the right trajectory for success,” he said.
