SUPP passed a resolution during its annual delegates conference 2021 held at party headquarters calling to the Federal government allocation for Sarawak to be increased as per the partnership agreement in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) following the recent constitutional amendment in Parliament recognising Sarawak and Sabah’s status as a region.

It also urged Sarawak government to bid for equal representation, one-third each for Sarawak and Sabah in both Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara in line with the spirit of MA63.

SUPP president Dato Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian said the allocation for Sarawak and Sabah should be increased as their status as a region has been recognised.

SUPP passed another resolution to urge the federal government and Ministry of Education to continue the policy of maintaining 90 per cent of trained Sarawakian teachers to be posted in the state.

Dr Sim said the policy was initiated and implemented by former chief minister the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem.

The party then proposed all qualified Sarawakians be given the priority to fill senior posts in civil services in Sarawak. A resolution was passed congratulating Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg on leading GPS to a resounding victory in the 12th State Election where GPS won 76 seats put of 82 seats contested.
