This\u00a0is unprecedented. This is a portfolio that will enable my team and I\u00a0to fulfil our manifesto in terms of bringing much needed development\u00a0to the Rakyat of our constituencies. I would also like to extend my\u00a0sincere gratitude to my supporters and those who voted for me. Some\u00a0may have expected a larger portfolio to be handed back to SUPP but as\u00a0CM said he is not happy with the Chinese representation in his\u00a0government (unless changes in the Sarawak constitution) but this is\u00a0the best we can do for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>SUPP was founded for the benefit of the people since 1959 . My team\u00a0and I will take this opportunity to do the best we can with what we\u00a0have. We are confident that we can deliver at a high level of\u00a0professionalism. Sarawak history has shown that when the landscape\u00a0changes, cabinet reshuffles are carried out to cater to the needs of\u00a0the people. In this regard, CM Adenan is a good listener, and I trust\u00a0that he will listen to the Chinese community as their mandate was to\u00a0SUPP to be an integral part of Team Adenan. In the meantime, the new\u00a0SUPP team and I look forward to being part of Team Adenan. &#8211; END<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image13.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10517\" alt=\"image1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image13-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image13-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image13.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10518\" alt=\"image2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image22-300x267.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image22-300x267.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image22-1024x912.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.suppnewsportal.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image22.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, thank you to TYT consent and CM Adenan for appointing me as the\u00a0Minister of Local Government Sarawak as a first time assemblyman.
