KUCHING: Sarawak’s Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg hopes that the people’s decision in the Sabah state elections, which ended yesterday, will contribute to political stability there.
He hoped that with a democratically elected government, Sabah would continue to prosper and develop.
“The important thing is that we have a stable political situation so that we can continue to fulfill the trust placed in us.
“I wish to congratulate the people of Sabah,” he told reporters after attending a dialogue with young entrepreneurs organized by a local news portal, Dayak Daily, here today.
When asked whether the victory of Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) in the state elections would further facilitate the efforts of Sarawak and Sabah in discussions to restore the rights of the two states under the Malaysian Act of 1963, President Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) said the talks were underway.
“We’ll see what happens. When the time comes, we will negotiate any unfinished business. Some have been resolved, ”he said.
Meanwhile, Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) President James Jemut Masing said that the result of Sabah’s election was a signal for the people of Sarawak to work together to further strengthen Malaysia as a single nation.
He also called on the elected representatives who collaborate in GRS, who obtained the majority, to stay together for the next five years to fulfill the promises made during the campaign.
“Now that the people of Sabah have spoken, I am hopeful that the elected representatives of Sabah will fulfill their responsibilities in the way they have promised,” he said in a statement.
