Support for Sarawak’s Financial Transparency: Wilfred Yap Refutes Chong’s Claims
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap has rejected the recent claims by YB Chong Chieng Jen, saying the allegations about contradictory state debt figures are based on outdated information and a misunderstanding of Sarawak’s financial structure. Yap said Chong had combined the maximum borrowing limits of several state owned companies and presented the total as Sarawak’s debt, which he described as inaccurate. According to him, many of these borrowings are project based and are repaid through the projects themselves, not from the state budget. He said the Deputy Premier Datuk AmarRead More

Sebastian Ting Urges IRB To Respect Sarawak Culture In Dress Code Enforcement
Sarawak United Peoples’ Party Secretary General Datuk Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew has expressed concern over the Inland Revenue Board’s dress code enforcement at the Miri Urban Transformation Centre. Ting said any regulations imposed by federal agencies in Sarawak must respect the state’s multicultural characteristics and should not hinder public services through rigid or unreasonable rules that inconvenience the public.

HeRead More

Adam Yii Says Voters Reject Malaya Politics
SUPP Central Publicity Secretary Adam Yii said the Sabah election results clearly show that voters no longer accept parties that only shout slogans, lack their own identity, and fail to defend local rights. He said Sarawak voters must take this as a lesson and remain firm in protecting local interests. Yii said DAP’s total defeat in Sabah, where the party lost every seat it contested, was not a coincidence but a concentrated response to long standing voter dissatisfaction. “They only know how to shout slogans but fail to deliver results,Read More
叶耀星：只有人联党能持续为人民带来实际成果
哥打圣淘沙议员叶耀星指出，沙巴州选中反对党在市区选区全数落败后，希盟与民主行动党领袖再度呼吁向选民道歉，此举反映行动党长期以来屡屡无法兑现承诺，尤其在市区及华裔选民占多数的选区表现乏力。 他表示，行动党领袖强调败选原因是沟通不足或宣传策略欠佳，但真正关键并非宣传问题，而是“表现问题”。 他说，尽管行动党在国会拥有40个议席，并在联邦政府中扮演相当重要的角色，却始终无法有效影响国家政策，或解决人民最关心的民生议题。若一个拥有庞大国会议席的政党仍无法在政策制定上为人民争取利益，显示其缺乏应有的政治影响力与效能。 叶耀星强调，砂拉越人必须认清何者才是真正让砂拉越前进的力量。他指出，只有砂人联党身为GPS政府的一员，才能持续为人民带来实际成果，包括推动发展项目、协助华校教育、支持社团活动、协助中小企业、改善道路照明与排水系统等。 他说，这些成果源于砂人联党在GPS中的实际决策权，能够争取资源并执行计划，而不是空谈或政治戏剧化的操作。 他指出，华社并不需要源自半岛政坛的文化或政治表演，而是需要成果、稳定与持续的施政。砂拉越能够保持稳健发展，是因为GPS长期团结一致、远离半岛分裂性政治，而砂人联党在其中确保华社声音在稳定框架下被有效传达。 叶耀星表示，沙巴选举结果清楚显示，选民已厌倦那些“承诺大、行动弱、事后道歉”的政党。砂拉越人民值得更好的治理，砂人联党将继续与GPS同行，坚持务实路线，保障华社及全砂人民的利益，推动政治稳定与长远发展。
Wilfred Yap Warns DAP After Sabah Election Defeat
GPS State assemblyman for Kota Sentosa and SUPP Kota Sentosa Branch chairman Wilfred Yap has responded to recent remarks by Sarawak Pakatan Harapan and DAP leaders following their complete loss in all eight urban seats contested in the Sabah state election.

He added that apologising after every election may appear humble but does not change the patternRead More
俞小珊：选民拒绝‘马来亚代理人式政治’
人联党中央宣教秘书俞小珊发表文告指出，沙巴选举结果已清楚显示，选民已经不再接受只会喊口号、缺乏主体性、无法捍卫本土权益的政党。他强调，砂拉越选民必须从沙巴选举中得到启示，坚守本土意识立场。 他指出，沙巴选举中，行动党全军覆没，所有竞选的席位全部失守，这不是偶然事件，而是选民长期对其表现不满的集中反应。 只会喊口号，却交不出成绩，选民用选票给出答案 俞小珊说，东马行动党过去依靠煽情式口号与情绪动员，在城市地区与年轻选民尤其是华裔选民中得到不少支持；然而，执政后却无法兑现承诺，尤其在涉及砂沙本土权益的关键课题上表现令人失望。 “当人民期待他们继续捍卫改革、透明和公平时，我们却看到的是沉默、退缩，甚至在 MA63、自治权、资源分配等重要议题上跟随马来亚中央立场。” 他指出，选民最不能接受的是：面对质疑时，行动党却试图以“要与联邦合作”为理由来淡化责任，更是一再以与联邦保持良好关系为理由，殊不知那正是他们对马来亚哈腰弯背出卖砂沙利益的铁证。 “砂沙人民其实一直都不反对与联邦保持合作关系，但合作必须是在对等原则下进行，而不是牺牲砂沙权益、更不是无条件顺从！” 砂沙需要的是能与西马平起平坐的领袖，不是马来亚政党的代理人 俞小珊强调，沙巴选民拒绝行动党的真正原因，是拒绝‘马来亚代理人式政治’。 “无论政党口号喊得再好听，只要决策权掌握在马来亚领导手上，马来亚党代理只要无法坚持本土立场，最终都会失去民心。” 他表示，砂沙选民要的是能在联邦层面平起平坐、争取公平资源与政策的领袖，不是只能聆听指令、无法坚持本土立场的从属者。 “沙巴人民已经用选票表达非常明确的讯息：拒绝成为马来亚政党巩固权力的筹码。” 砂拉越必须从沙巴吸取教训，拒绝无法维护砂本土权益的政党 俞小珊指出，砂拉越目前拥有独特的发展模式，包括自主权、资源管理、能源布局及跨族群合作，这是多年努力得来的成果，必须珍惜与维护。从刚结束的沙巴选举中，从沙民透露出来的信息，从各大党派的竞选宣言皆借镜砂拉越模式来看，砂拉越正在引领马来西亚政治模式的改革。 “每一席让不具备砂沙主体性的马来亚政党胜出的议席，只会削弱我们在联邦的谈判能力，动摇砂拉越目前享有的自主空间和发展趋势。” 他强调，砂行动党与沙行动党同属一个中央领导体系，只要依旧需要遵从马来亚总部的大反向，砂行动党就只能是代理人，无法真正代表砂民的权益。 “这不是立场攻击，而是政治结构的问题。砂行动党终究要听从马来亚领导，砂拉越利益永远为了‘顾全大局’ 而排在‘全国策略’之后。” 沙民意已觉醒，砂拉越必须更清醒 俞小珊表示，沙巴行动党的全面落败，是选民用行动告诉全国：“口号政治已经过时，东马要的是主体性、成果和对等尊重。” 他呼吁砂选民进一步巩固本土力量，给与砂总理最大的力量，将马来亚政党清零，以确保砂拉越继续在联邦层面继续拥有强而有力的谈判位置。 “沙巴已经醒来，而砂拉越正是稳健发展的典范。我们走在正确的道路上，更必须保持方向，坚定守护砂拉越的稳定、自主与繁荣。”

Eric Tay Warns Sabah Election Defeat Signals Trouble for DAP in Sarawak
MBKS Councilor Eric Tay today issued a statement commenting on the Democratic Action Party’s complete defeat in the Sabah state election, describing it as a clear reflection of shifting public sentiment and a warning sign for the party in Sarawak.
