SUPP wishes to express its support to PBB Vice-President Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Hamzah\u2019s statement that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) has the final decision on seat allocations for component parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a press statement issued, SUPP Sec Gen, Datuk Sebastian Ting said Abdul Karim\u2019s take on the issue of \u201cno more traditional seats\u201d brought up by PDP President Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing is most sensible and logical and should be supported by all in GPS and its allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It has always been the collective decision of Barisan Nasional, and now GPS, leaders to field winnable candidates from the respective components in every election, in their traditional seats. If this understanding has worked well for us in GPS, it would be foolish for anyone to suggest that we change our proven way of doing things and walk down the path less travelled instead, where turmoil, uncertainty and instability lurk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, Abdul Karim\u2019s word of caution to not rock the boat should be heeded by all, ” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ting added that SUPP would also like to remind all our friends in GPS that in politics, maintaining stability and avoiding controversial or drastic changes that could disrupt the current order is paramount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In that context, he pointed out, Abdul Karim\u2019s warning to Tiong that \u201cyour party (PDP) might even be completely wiped out, if you are not careful and you must be sure whether you can sustain in your own area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ting said SUPP sincerely believes that it is vital for all GPS component parties to avoid bringing up irrelevant, negative issues bordering on narrow, self-serving interests that could sow discomfort and discord among us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Lest we forget, history has taught us that the most powerful government could be toppled not because the enemy was strong but because of internal strife within the party in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us all in GPS, he added, as the governing coalition, never lose sight of that. We should focus on serving and attending to the needs of Sarawakians, whom we have pledged to serve, instead of worrying and debating over which party get the most seats, ” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
