KUCHING, Oct 20: Despite holding 40 seats and being the second-largest party, the Democratic Action Party (DAP) has failed to act as an effective check and balance in Parliament.
According to Public Health, Housing, and Local Government Minister Datuk Amar Prof. Dr. Sim Kui Hian, DAP has merely been acting as a bystander (“Tengok saja”) rather than actively fulfilling its oversight role.
“(Sarawak has been enjoying) political stability because we do not have DAP in the Sarawak Government as they are always divisive, polarising and politicking; disguise as champions for the rakyat.
“We have witnessed in this August House their behaviour and drama in every DUN session as indeed one’s character cannot change,” said Dr Sim when delivering his ministerial winding-up speech during Sarawak Legislature at Sarawak Legislative Complex here today.
