LO KHERE CHIANG ON NEW CABINET
SUPP Batu Lintang Chairman, Lo Khere Chiang said it is important to ensure Sarawak’s interest when it comes to the new cabinet formed.
Lo who is also MPP Chairman, said it is Sarawak First! Utamakan Sarawak and so far, all has ends well when it comes after the announcement of the names.
Congratulating Chief Minister Abang Jo for leading Sarawak into a win- win position, Lo said not only has GPS been invited by Perikatan Nasional to run this new government, GPS has been allocated with 4 Full ministers and 6 deputy ministers.
“This is better than the 1 Full minister and 1 assistant minister entrusted to Sarawak under the previous Pakatan Harapan government where all election promises to Sarawak have been broken and allocation for major projects have been cut. The minister of Works under PN has again been entrusted to Sarawak. I am most pleased because now I can see a light at the end of the tunnel for the Rm20mil promised by the previous government for the construction of SK Haji Baki in my constituency, a promise which was never realised since PH won the last election. I have also hear of complaints from some contractors of pan borneo Highway who claim that its hard to collect payments. I am sure that with the Works minister been allocated back to Sarawak, Sarawak will gain back all those allocation for major projects that has been cut including allocation to our pan borneo Highway,“ he added.
Afterall, he said Sarawak contributes RM92bil to the federal coffer every year so why should any allocation be cut from Sarawak?
Lo pointed out that Tan Sri Muhyiddin has also agreed to the three conditions imposed by Sarawak for supporting Perikatan Nasional. First condition is for the federal government to acknowledge Sarawak’s rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Second one is to acknowledge Sarawak’s rights over its natural resources particularly its oil and gas.
“The third one is GPS will not be a part of Perikatan Nasional (PN). Only a partner with PN through GPS in a government caller the PN Plus GPS Government. There is, however, much to be done in the days ahead and I pray that all Sarawakians will support GPS and pledge our undivided support to our CM Abg Jo in his quest to ensure that those three conditions recently agreed to by our new PM shall be uphold religiously. Let us all put Sarawak First!” he said.
He hoped the 10 candidates from Sarawak will make their voices for Sarawak heard loud and clear.
