New Year Message from the President
2018 New Year Message from
Datuk Dr. Sim Kui Hian, President of SUPP, cum Minister of Local Government and Housing, Sarawak
Time passes very fast, we are now usher in a new year, 2018.
During the past 2017, we Sarawakians had many unforgettable memories. We had lost our wise and capable Chief Minter Datuk Patinggi Adenan Satem. Though Tok Nan did not lead Sarawak for a long period, he nevertheless had brought great changes to Sarawak, making breakthrough and bringing about development, and implementing policies beneficial to all the people in Sarawak.
Though Tok Nan had left us, he would always be remembered by Sarawakians as a great man.
We are grateful that our current Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari, has not only continued the policies of Tok Nan, he has also done his utmost best to push ahead the development of Sarawak, making sure the paces of development in Sarawak match that of the world, including important policies such as the formation of the Development Bank of Sarawak, the implementation of the Sarawak Pay, and the LRT which is now under active planning and others.
Sarawak is heading towards electronic, scientific and technical development. We are trustful that the future of Sarawak is bright and prosperous.
The GE14 would be held in 2018. It is an important general elections which would decide whether the country would continue to grow and whether the security in the country would remain stable in the next five years.
Sarawak, as an important partner in the formation of the Federation of Malaysia, would strive to uphold the stability and racial harmony in the country. Sarawak would strengthen its political position in Malaysia, maintaining its representation and its importance to the country. An important Sarawak vision is getting back the rights and autonomy that Sarawak enjoy under the MA63.
The four component parties of the Sarawak BN, namely PBB, SUPP, PRS and PDP have to materialize the aspiration of the people of Sarawak whereby the political autonomy of Sarawak is strengthened through the coming GE14.
Though Sarawak has only 31 seats in the 222 seats Malaysia Parliament, nevertheless, it can influence the decisions on many important issues such as the hudud laws amendment bill which PAS and UMNO intended to push through in the Parliament. However, the bill was withdrew under strong objection from Sarawak. If Sarawak can win all the 31 parliamentary seats, Sarawak can play an important roles in the Parliament. It also gives additional weight to Sarawak in its negotiation with the Federal Government in getting back its autonom
Therefore the GE14 is very important to Sarawak. Whether Sarawak can get back its autonomy depends very much on the results of GE14. A poor results would reduce the power of representation and its voice in the Parliament. The poor results may also affect the negotiation between Sarawak and the Federal Government on Sarawak’s autonomy.
We must be very clear that a magnificent results in the GE14 would enable Sarawak to get back its rights and autonomy for our next generations. We as the forerunners must build a stronger Sarawak for them.
SUPP calls on all voters to continue to give their strong backing to SUPP in the coming GE14 for a stronger Sarawak representation in the parliament.
We hope Sarawakians would work hand in hand to build a better future and a stronger Sarawak.
