SIBU, Feb 8 — Gabungan Parti Sarawak will not get involved in the debate over whether Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad should remain as prime minister or if he should make way for PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to take the lead, its chairman Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg said tonight. “We are independent. We don’t take sides, but when the day comes for the national interest, that is the time we decide.
“We have to decide properly after careful study ,” the chief minister said at the Sarawak United People’s Party Sibu branch’s Chap Goh Mei gathering here.“There are a lot of stories going on in Peninsular Malaysia. There are people who want the prime minister to stay on and another who wants him to be replaced with another leader,” he said.Abang Johari said what is important is Sarawak must strengthen itself.
He said Sarawak has a bright future and is on track to achieve the target of becoming a developed state in 2030.
