“All four of them also won their respective posts uncontested. I am honoured to be re-elected as the party president for another three years.

“This afternoon, we also had the second part of the election where we elected 20 Central Committee (CC) members and 29 Central Working Committee (CWC) members,” he told reporters during a press conference held after the TDC at Sa’ati hall in SUPP headquarters today.

Meanwhile, Dr Sim said SUPP also came up with a resolution to urge the Sarawak government to set up a Cabinet committee to look into the racial imbalance in the State and federal civil service.

He said this includes drawing out and implementing strategies and guidelines for addressing the issues. — DayakDaily
