Sarawak United People’s Party Youth chief Michael Tiang at the press conference.
Sarawak United People’s Party Youth chief Michael Tiang said the second version of the bill tabled in the Dewan Rakyat was not good enough as it did not guarantee Sabah and Sarawak equal status. “We cannot accept the argument that it is ‘better than nothing’,” he said at a press conference here today.“We don’t know what Sabahans want but we know what we want.
“We don’t want cosmetic changes and we don’t want the Pakatan Harapan government to claim this as their political victory if Sarawakians still live in a backward condition compared to Malaya,” he said.
