“Adenan has proven to be the man of the hour. Sarawak is privileged to have him as the chief minister,” said Ongkili in addressing Sungai Asap folk when campaigning for the Belaga and Murum seats yesterday.
Ongkili, who is also the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) deputy president, said Adenan’s leadership had been inspirational to many, including leaders in Sabah.
Since his appointment two years ago, Adenan had made some 50 important initiatives and actions, making him a leader with growing and well-respected stature, especially in resolving problems and issues faced by the state.
Among his achievements were abolishing tolls, reducing electricity rates, addressing illegal logging,
reintroducing Malay-English bilingualism in Sarawak’s administration and strengthening the Malaysia Agreement 1963 in regaining the state’s autonomy through well-structured negotiation.
“Even the uncompromising position he took to defend the use of the word ‘Allah’ for Christian worships and publications in particular is reassuring to both Sarawak and Sabah Christians.”

“He once told me that he is living on borrowed time from God, and he has no other agenda but to see Sarawak develop better by tapping on the resources from the federal government.
“He is indeed a great defender of Sarawak’s rights, and he deserves to be given the full support and mandate for another solid victory for Barisan Nasional in Sarawak. His heart is with the people of Sarawak,” said Ongkili, adding that the opposition in fact could not help to develop Sarawak.
