We really hope for the success of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) negotiation with the Federal Government. If we are not successful in achievement Sarawak’s full autonomy, I expect that there is at least significant progress attained. I also hoped for the recognition of Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) as pledged by the new Federal government
I also expect all Sarawakian politicians to jealously guard the paramount interests of Sarawak ‘s rights. And at the same time we hoped that the Federal government to emulate Sarawak government in racial and religious policy to promote inclusiveness for all Malaysians.
I also fervently hoped that all politicians from different political divide can show professionalism and maturity. Stop political bickering, making political spins and laying blames against each other and get on with the job in fulfilling your pledges and promises.
