KUCHING: Petra Jaya Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof created history as the first Malaysian from Sarawak, one of the East Malaysian states in Malaysia, ever appointed as Deputy Prime Minister.
The next stage of the struggle is to ensure that Sarawak remains on the right track in line with the formation of Malaysia in 1963 to become part of a developed nation through the thinking of the new leadership. He won the seat comfortably, winning with a five-digit majority securing 12,816 votes - a majority which eventually became the benchmark for the future success of the party in the subsequent general elections.
Following his success in retaining his Petra Jaya seat in GE13, Fadillah was promoted to full minister to helm the Works Ministry in 2013. Despite being ‘dropped’ from the Federal Cabinet for almost two years, Fadillah who was the Works Minister before, continued to take the lead in completing the project.
