In a joint statement made by both of them, they said DAP had criticized Sarawak government for banning the community leaders from attending PH function which were not organized by Sarawak Government.

“In truth, the PH MPs are making use of Officer from Pejabat Daerah to invite community leaders for their function, but Gabunan Parti Sarawak (GPS) YB were not invited,” they stated.

They pointed out that at functions under the Medical Health Ministry and Education Ministry, their instructions were to only invited PH’s YB as Guest of honor while GPS leaders were at times not invited and during those time, GPS members were not allowed to deliver any speech.

Both said this is showing no respect to the elected representatives of Sarawak government and disregard the autonomy of Sarawak.
