It is surprising that for power, one is willing to forgo their birth-state as what Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sarawak Chairman, Chong Chieng Jen has done when he wants to forgo the 80 percent oil royalty and is happy enough to accept only 20 percent.
Chong have knowingly or unknowingly given up on the state he was born in. I must say, his new deal is a deal to sell off Sarawak.
I am glad that the Sarawak government led by our Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari has not accepted the ‘new deal’ agreement because do so would be shackling ourselves to the responsibility of financing the Education and Health Ministry in exchange for only 20% profit, not gross on our oil.
If we take up these two ministries just because we accept 20% profit, does it also mean that other ministries would be neglected and abandoned?
After the 20 percent profit and not 20% gross was announced, he was mum about it until his decision to name a new deal on Monday which unfortunately, is just another pathetic pittance of what was promised in the PH Manifesto.
GPS wants total autonomy and we have the MA 63 to prove that it belongs to us. So why are we accepting something far less than what we should be entitled.
My guess is that Chong does not even know how much the 20 percent profit is in monetary terms, so why is he selling something to us that he himself is unsure about. He should not expect Sarawak to accept that at face value.
We, Sarawakians, must stand together with GPS to fight for what we deserve and to get back what is ours and not to accept the crumbs thrown at us.
This is the time; we with local based parties in GPS fight on for our own people. We need not let outside parties tell us what to do and what to accept.
I urge all Sarawakians to back our CM Abang Jo to protect ourselves by demanding that our oil and gas be returned to us, once and for all.
We have all had enough of all this drama which PH Sarawak Chairman Chong has cooked up.
