“The headman voiced his concerns to me and solicited for my opinion on the matter. I shared with him my opinion that if he was uncomfortable hosting the Gawai Dayak celebration with the minister, he can always proceed with the usual ways of celebrating the annual Gawai Dayak,” she told a press conference.
Nancy said Sipi’s allegation could damage her reputation as a member of parliament and as a politician. “It seems to me that reckless politicking has arrived on our shores and in my constituency Batang Sadong,” Nancy said, adding that she was obligated to address this issue as it could breed unwanted hatred.
“It is not the decision of our MP. We certainly don’t accept those from Pakatan Harapan to celebrate Gawai in my longhouse because we are scared that they will politicise the celebration,” he said.
