Lo: Chong selling off on Sarawak?

suppadmin | July 31, 2018

It is surprising that for power, one is willing to forgo their birth-state as what Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sarawak Chairman, Chong Chieng Jen has done when he wants to forgo the 80 percent oil royalty and was happy enough to accept only 20 percent, said State Assemblyman for Batu Kitang, Lo Khere Chiang.

He said Chong may or unknowingly, gave up on the state he was born and and grew up in. His new deal is a deal to sell off Sarawak.

“I am glad that Sarawak government led by our Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari did not want to accept the agreement as to do so, they have to take up the responsibility of financing the Education and Health Ministry. If they were to do so, the 20 percent for these two ministries, does it mean that other ministries would be neglected and abandoned?”

After Chong became a Deputy Minister, he changed his tune to adhere to the demands made by his boss. Before the election, he was shouting and championing the rights of Sarawakians. Even after the 20 percent profit was announced, he remained very quiet until his decision to name a new deal on Monday which unfortunately, is just a pittance of what he was willing to give to Malaya. GPS wants total autonomy and we have the MA 63 to prove that it belongs to us. So why are we accepting something far less than what we should be entitled.

Lo’s guess is that “Chong did not even know how much is the 20 percent profit, so why is he selling to us something, he is not even aware of. He should not expect Sarawak to accept that at face value. We, Sarawakians, must stand together with GPS to fight for what we deserve and to get back what is ours, not to accept the crumbs thrown at us. This is the time; we with local based parties in GPS fight on for our own people. We need not let outside parties tell us what to do and what to accept,” he added.

Lo urged all Sarawakians to back our CM to protect ourselves by demanding that oil and gas be returned to us, once and for all. Enough of the drama they cooked up.
