Secretary-General of SUPP Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew said Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) congratulated Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob for being sworn in as the 9th Prime Minister of Malaysia on the 21st August 2021 and hoped a second deputy prime minister would be from Sarawak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“SUPP is of the opinion that another post of Deputy Prime Minister 2 should be created and this Deputy Prime Minister post shall be reserved for Sarawak and Sabah, as Sarawak and Sabah are indeed the remaining two equal Partners in Malaysia. Both Sarawak and Sabah have contributed much to the Nation Building all these years, since 1963. As the saying goes, Actions speak louder than mere words. By appointing a Deputy Prime Minister 2 from Sarawak or Sabah would indeed be an open, sincere and genuine acknowledgement of the immense contributions by Sarawak and Sabah, ” he said.
Ting who is also Piasau State Assemblyman added that for now, Sarawak GPS has 18 Members of Parliament and it is therefore correct and appropriate that the Deputy Prime Minister 2 post should be filled by one of the Members of Parliament from Sarawak GPS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
” We would like to propose two names, namely YB Dato Sri Haji Fadillah Yusof who was the Senior Minister and Minister of Works under the previous Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin and GPS Secretary-General YB Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi who was Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs to be considered for appointment as the new Deputy Prime Minister. Both are highly experienced parliamentarian and had served as Minister and Deputy Minister for many years, ” he added.
More Importantly, he added, in the minds of all Malaysians and their expectations would be that the new government must be a clean government, respect the independence of judiciary, practicing the separation of power and continue to preserve, protect and defend the Federal Constitution and it will be good for the new Cabinet line up to include many other ethnics in the country especially the Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Kadazan-Dusun, Bajau and others from the Borneo States to reflect multi-ethnics of this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
