SIBU – The landslide victory by Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in the 12th state election last month clearly shows that the people in the state want Sarawak to be governed by the coalition.

The GPS component parties namely Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak United Peoples’s Party, Parti Rakyat Sarawak and Parti Demokratik Progressif have successfully secured 76 out of 82 seats contested.

According to PBB vice-president, Dr Annuar Rapaee, Sarawakians made a wise choice because GPS always protects the well-being and future of the people and is capable to further develop the state more rapidly.

“The last state election shows that Sarawakians did not want any other parties, except GPS to govern Sarawak,” he said in his speech at a Nangka PBB branch appreciation ceremony here last night.

He added the victory of GPS in securing 76 seats throughout the state was the biggest record ever achieved in Sarawak’s political history.

Dr Annuar, who is also Nangka assemblyman, attributed his success in retaining the seat in the recent Sarawak state election with a majority of more than 10,000 votes to the hard work of all Nangka PBB members over the years.

He added the big win was a huge mandate entrusted by voters, which needed to be implemented as best as possible over the next five years.

He said PBB is open to young people in Nangka state constituency to participate in politics through the party and invites the entire Sibu community to join PBB to strengthen and empower the party in Sibu. – Bernama, January 8, 2022
