Yap Urges DAP to Deliver Promises Instead of Political Rhetoric

Kota Sentosa State assemblyman Wilfred Yap has urged the opposition to focus on delivering results rather than making empty political statements, saying that leadership should be measured by action and accountability.

He said the recent DAP Sarawak Convention once again highlighted the opposition’s tendency to make appealing resolutions without depth or consistency.

“As the assemblyman for Kota Sentosa, I serve people of all backgrounds because true leadership is about fairness, not factional politics,” Yap said.

He criticised DAP’s proposal to redefine “natives” to include all third-generation Sarawakians of Chinese, Indian, or other descent, saying it ignored the need to protect the constitutional and cultural rights of Sarawak’s indigenous peoples.

“True equality is about ensuring equal access to opportunities without undermining the heritage and identity of others. Sarawak’s strength has always come from diversity, not uniformity,” he said.

Yap said unlike DAP’s rhetoric, the GPS government delivers equality through transparent and merit-based systems, such as the e-Recruitment platform and the recognition of the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) for state civil service entry — something DAP has yet to achieve at the federal level.

“Sarawak’s financial success speaks for itself. Our revenue has doubled from RM6 billion in 2016 to RM14.2 billion in 2024, proving that GPS governs with discipline and transparency,” he said.

He added that entities such as the Development Bank of Sarawak (DBOS) and Petros reflect the state’s innovative and accountable approach to financing development.

“While DAP continues to criticise, the GPS government continues to deliver results in flood control, housing, and rural infrastructure. Politics that divide have no place in Sarawak’s future. What matters are results, not rhetoric,” Yap said.
