KUCHING, Nov 10: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has called on the Chinese community, particularly voters in Kuching, Sibu and Miri, to renew their mandate for the Gabungan Parti Sarawak-led (GPS) State government to continue addressing key issues and advancing Sarawak’s development.
Responding to requests raised by Federation of Chinese Associations Sarawak president Dato Sri Richard Wee, Abang Johari said the Sarawak government was prepared to consider proposals concerning land matters, immigration policies and procedures for employing foreign workers, but stressed that he could not make any commitments without a fresh mandate.
“Much as I would like to say yes, I approve, but I don’t have the mandate now. I cannot say yes, nor can I say no. I have no mandate until Dec 12.
