07 April 2019
Chong, who is also Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs and Stampin MP, said the opposition MPs from GPS, which is in power in the state, should rethink their position and accept the Bill gracefully as a manifestation of goodwill from the PH government. Also present were Sarawak PKR vice chairman Ali Biju, who is also Saratok MP; Sarawak Amanah chairman Mohamad Fidzuan Zaidi; Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii, Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong and other state PH leaders.
Chong, who is also state DAP chairman, said PH had also invited the opposition MPs including from GPS and Umno for a briefing on the Amendment Bill tabling but they rejected the offer to give any feedback on the matter.
