KUCHING: Chinese community must support the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem for the coming state election in an effort to make Sarawak becoming a developed state.

This was according to chairman of SUPP Kota Sentosa branch Lo Khere Chiang in his speech when officiating at the Chinese New Year celebration at the community centre in Hui Sing Garden, here yesterday.

“Since Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem took over as Sarawak Chief Minister, he has done a lot to help the Chinese in Sarawak especially in the issue of giving recognition to the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) for students who graduated from a private Chinese High School. 

“This is because the new chief minister is very concerned about the problem, especially on the issue of the Chinese schools recognition.

“As we know the chief minister has also been vital in fighting for the rights of Sarawak such as royalty payments. This is a main goal pursued by the chief minister and we believe that the state of Sarawak is on the right track to become a developed state in Malaysia,” he said.

Therefore, the Chinese people should be able to evaluate leaders and Barisan Nasional component parties like SUPP that is working hard to ensure the prosperity and progress in terms of development, and human capital can be prioritised, Lo pointed out.
