Sarawak DAP,Chong Chieng Jen,Progressive Democratic Party

KUCHING, April 8 — Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) senior vice president Datuk Sri Wong Soon Koh said it is time for Sarawak Democratic Action Party (DAP) chairman Chong...

Progressive Democratic Party senior vice president Datuk Sri Wong Soon Koh said it is time for Sarawak Democratic Action Party chairman Chong Chieng Jen to decide whether the state DAP is to be a wholly local-based opposition party.

Wong recalled that after the last general election, Loke had personally met Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg to extend an apology on behalf of national DAP leaders who may have made undesired remarks against Sarawak, and requested GPS to join and form the unity government.He deemed Loke as a ‘true gentleman’ who was willing to sacrifice for the country’s sake and felt his counterparts at the state DAP should emulate such spirit.

“Such a ‘have-it-all’ approach may augur well for Sarawak DAP to suit its political agenda but this might not work out too well in the long run. Chong should really ponder over the future of Sarawak DAP instead of question the motives of PSB having contested in the last state election,” he said.
