Press Statement from Dr. Sim Kui Hian

suppadmin | May 14, 2016

First, thank you to TYT consent and CM Adenan for appointing me as the Minister of Local Government Sarawak as a first time assemblyman. This is unprecedented. This is a portfolio that will enable my team and I to fulfil our manifesto in terms of bringing much needed development to the Rakyat of our constituencies. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to my supporters and those who voted for me. Some may have expected a larger portfolio to be handed back to SUPP but as CM said he is not happy with the Chinese representation in his government (unless changes in the Sarawak constitution) but this is the best we can do for the time being.

SUPP was founded for the benefit of the people since 1959 . My team and I will take this opportunity to do the best we can with what we have. We are confident that we can deliver at a high level of professionalism. Sarawak history has shown that when the landscape changes, cabinet reshuffles are carried out to cater to the needs of the people. In this regard, CM Adenan is a good listener, and I trust that he will listen to the Chinese community as their mandate was to SUPP to be an integral part of Team Adenan. In the meantime, the new SUPP team and I look forward to being part of Team Adenan. – END
