Dipping toes in waters of Batu Kawah, Yii says strong governance needed to shield Sarawak from ‘extremism’

KUCHING, Dec 10 — DAP’s Dr Kelvin Yii Lee Wuen has called for strong governance in Sarawak to ensure that the multi-cultural tolerance in the state remains untouched, amid ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak’s alliance with federal parties PAS, Umno and Perikatan Nasional.

“I think there is a desire to change, growing dissatisfaction on top of other extreme sentiments that is brought in by parties like PAS, right-wing of Umno, that is a threat to the multicultural fabric that Sarawak always enjoys,” he toldDespite admitting his slim chances, Dr Yii pointed to the need for a “strong opposition” to offer check-and-balance and with that ensure accountability among the state government.

“At the end of the day, if a state or a country or a region does not have a strong check and balance system, we are in for troubled times,” he added.Peninsular Malaysia has been rocked recently by bans against number forecast outlets and alcohol sale in certain areas in PAS-led Kedah. In response, Dr Sim who is also SUPP president said the requirement for coffee shops to obtain a licence to sell beer from next year does not apply to Sarawak.
