We are fully supportive and wanted to fulfil CM Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem’s call to proceed with he appealing and changing of laws that is unfavourable and deviation to woman and family.

Some of the acts are discriminating to woman and we should do something to change it instead of complaining all the time, she added.

Chee said should any of the SUPP candidates go into the State legislative Assembly, they would be able to fight for the rights more effectively.

She gave an example that a couple had a daughter out of wedlock. And married later to have other children. Unfortunately for the first born child, the father, Tan Chiew Ho, a local and his Indonesian wife, Lily Isnah is now at their wit’s end as they were unable to register their first born daughter, Jia Yin as a Malaysian despite many attempts made.

Jimmy Maja, who is part of the panel lawyers said, the rejection was done by Putra Jaya and not by Sarawak. He said this is the problem facing Sarawak community and it is time someone stand out for them.
