KUCHING:
SUPP president Senator Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian said it is crucial to have
Chinese representatives in the State Government in order to formulate
policies that are beneficial towards the Chinese community.
According to him, this is their choice of a life time while urging the Chinese community to think carefully when electing their representative come election.
“It is important for us to be in the government, to be on the same table to formulate policies while fighting from the inside.
He added that the Chinese community have been unhappy for the past 33 years, however ever since Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem took office, it has changed as they tend to be happy with the Chinese friendly policies he introduced.
“Adenan is only in office for two years and you are happy, but for 33 years you have been jumping up and down outside giving all the votes to the opposition, do you achieve your aim?”
“You want to be a hero, you will end up getting zero, you will end up unhappy for another 33 years,” he said during a press conference held at SUPP headquarters here yesterday.
He reiterated that the opposition’s goal was to deny BN two-thirds majority, claiming a need for a balance between BN and the opposition.
“Are the Chinese the only one who doesn’t give BN two-thirds majority? With all 16 Chinese majority seats how is there to be a balance. As such, with all the Chinese majority seats against the government this is extremely unhealthy.
“I don’t accept people saying that we must balance between BN and opposition, that is why it is important for the Chinese voters to think carefully whether they want their voices to be heard from the inside,” he said.
He pointed out that SUPP wanted to be inside the government and play a meaningful role to ensure and continue to safeguard the rights and interests of the Chinese community, while pursuing policies introduced by the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, Dr Sim stressed that SUPP would put aside differences and work together with all the BN and direct BN candidates to ensure a huge victory for BN.
“At this point of time going into the election, we want to focus on and ensure BN will win every seat possible.”
