KUCHING, Nov 11: Political pundit Dato Peter Minos is confident that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will retain power in the coming Sarawak Election and lead the State government for another five years under Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
Minos said he believed GPS would win the election, arguing that the opposition had yet to demonstrate its ability to govern Sarawak.
“GPS has amply proven to Sarawakians that it is able and capable of governing Sarawak, as well as defending the State’s rights and interests.
“While the opposition has been endlessly digging up dirt and attacking the government, GPS has been using its time and efforts to build roads, bridges and other public utilities and facilities, establish new and traditional industries, and work hard on education and the welfare of the people,” he said in a statement today.
Minos also described the Free Tertiary Education Scheme (FTES) for Sarawakians as one of GPS’ most significant initiatives, saying an educated and skilled workforce was essential to the State’s future progress.
Under Abang Johari’s leadership, he said GPS aimed to transform Sarawak into a highly progressive and advanced State over the next five years through various modern and forward-looking projects.
He also urged opposition parties to play a more constructive role by putting forward viable proposals and practical ideas to contribute to Sarawak’s development.
Looking ahead to the next five years, Minos said the coming election would shape Sarawak’s direction through 2031, particularly in safeguarding its rights under the Malaysian Agreement 1963 (MA63), resolving petroleum-related matters with the federal government and addressing the rising cost of living.
He said voters should carefully consider which political coalition could safeguard Sarawak’s future, rights and interests, particularly when choosing between GPS and opposition parties such as the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and People’s Justice Party (PKR).
He also questioned whether Sarawakians could place their trust in GPS or parties based in Peninsular Malaysia to protect the State’s interests.
Minos said the answers to these questions would ultimately shape the future of Sarawak and its people. — DayakDaily
