A lost opportunity for Sarawak’s future — Sipa
APRIL 12 — Politics is the main reason for the failure of the amendment bill to restore Sarawak’s rights to be passed by Parliament with the GPS coalition from Sarawak, BN and PAS members abstaining.
The PH side wanted a hasty end to the matter by pushing aside many considerations and tabling a half-baked deal which deserved what it got. On the other hand, the GPS coalition's failure to work with the government prior to the amendment bill debate is a disgrace to the people in Sarawak. So what is the next step — a more comprehensive input from all quarters should be initiated now by both PH and GPS for the sake of Sarawak and its future well being.
