KUCHING, Nov 1: Political pundit Dato Peter Minos has called on Sarawakians to be cautious of Peninsular Malaysia-based political parties that he claimed are seeking to gain control of the State through local political representatives, especially with the Sarawak election looming over the horizon.
In a statement issued on Saturday (Oct 31), he said that it would be difficult to trust that outsiders could understand what Sarawakians need or know how to govern the State.
“Our Premier (Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg) said it, and he said it straight— only Sarawakians can safeguard our future. This is a very clear and valid point.
“It is not that we are always wary of outsiders, but our experiences have taught us to remain vigilant and exercise caution. One example is the implementation of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). Years have passed, yet our rights and entitlements under MA63 have still not been fully realised. That alone speaks volumes,” he said.
