Sarawakians must support Sarawak based parties


Sarawakians must support Sarawak based parties

We miss Tok Nan (former Chief Minister, Pehin Sri Haji Adenan Satem) dearly and we must carry on his fight and his dreams in our fight for Sarawak’s rights.

Tok Nan would have wanted us to see how Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi (Dr) Abang Johari Tun Openg is continuing his legacy and he would have wanted us to put our trust firmly in Abang Jo. We need to pull all our resources and stand as one united front behind the Chief Minister..

We must remind ourselves of Adenan’s words and bear in mind that technology is important.

What Abang Jo has been doing is helping Sarawak take huge strides by leapfrogging towards greater technological advancement and hence, towards better development and financial independence.

Pushing Sarawak’s youths to take up the state’s challenge to become a developed state via technology is Abang Jo’s wise and farsighted vision for Sarawak.

We will have our internet up to the fastest speed in no time instead of lagging behind like in many third world countries. Like many great cities around the world, transportation is number one and the transportation network in Sarawak is being improved, going on at a really good pace with funds from the Federal government. It is already being significantly improved as we speak.

We will continue to fight for Sarawak’s autonomous rights as laid down under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). We have to be clear that there was no talk of cessation from Malaysia but that does not mean we cannot fight for more autonomy for Sarawak.

We,Sarawakians, are optimistic and confident that our autonomous rights will be restored to us in time to come as promised to our Chief Minister by our present Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Sarawak needs a caring government that takes care of the people, not only a more developed Sarawak with better roads and infrastructure but especially a Sarawak where the poor and the less privileged must be helped and looked after first.

I am ready and willing to wrest back theStampin parliamentary seat from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) to continue Tok Nan’s race for a stronger Sarawak and to speak up for an autonomous Sarawak in Parliament if I have the mandate of our people and my leaders.

I believe I have, over the years, established good rapport with our people and have devoted my time to our people and to my community. I have worked hard on fulfilling my state election promises and I fully intend to continue to keep up with this positive momentum and to do more for Sarawak if Sarawakians deliver me into Parliament via the Stampin parliamentary seat.

The question today is “Are Sarawakians going to vote with a logical mind, to continue Tok Nan’s legacy and to achieve a stronger Sarawak or are they going to be easily swamped with twisted and negative emotions from the opposition about Kuala Lumpur (KL)?

What happens in KL should remain in KL. We do not want UMNO to flood our Sarawak’s State Legislative Assembly, the way it has infiltrated Sabah’s State Legislative Assembly.

atan Harapan to penetrate Sarawak and to flood our State Legislative Assembly, too. We do not want Malayans to rule Sarawak. All Sarawakians must therefore remain united and support Sarawak based parties.

Remember, my fellow Sarawakians, this is a fight for a stronger Sarawak!

I will always remember Tok Nan’s words. I’m ready to champion for the people of Sarawak. SARAWAK FIRST, SARAWAK ONLY, SARAWAK FOREVER! For A Stronger Sarawak!


Lo Khere Chiang,
Batu Kitang State Assemblyman.
