KUCHING: Sarawak Pakatan Harapan chairman Chong Chieng Jen has urged Gabungan Parti Sarawak MPs to support the second reading of the Constitution Bill 2019 due to be tabled on Tuesday in the Dewan Rakyat.
“It is crucial for GPS to support the Bill and put aside its ego and pride for the benefit of Sarawak. “This is only the start to put the framework into the right perspective,” he told reporters at the DAP headquarters here today. Following the tabling of the amendment bill, the GPS MPs wanted it to be referred to a Parliamentary Select Committee first for a thorough study but Chong said negotiations could still continue should the Bill be passed in the Dewan Rakyat.
