KUCHING, Nov 7: A strong Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) victory in the upcoming 13th Sarawak Election is crucial to maintaining political stability and recognising Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg’s leadership over the past four years, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Amar Fadillah Yusof.

Speaking at the launch of the Sarawak Kita Empun 3.0 programme in Kuching today, Fadillah said GPS played an important role in maintaining political stability at the Federal level amid political divisions in Peninsular Malaysia.

“Without GPS, political stability might be difficult to achieve,” he said, citing political developments in Negeri Sembilan, Johor and Melaka as examples of differing positions among political parties.
