MIRI, Dec 19: The massive mandate received by Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) is a reflection that the people of Sarawak are putting their faith towards the party to bring the State to greater heights, said Senadin assemblyman Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin.
“For Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP), the outcome of yesterday’s election has indicated a good sign from the Chinese community, as we are now getting back the support,” he pointed out.
Lee, who is also SUPP vice-president, said the landslide victory in yesterday’s election shows the support towards the party by the Chinese community.
“Yesterday’s election results sent a clear message; that the Chinese community support is shifting to GPS,” he said today after arriving from Kuching.
