KUCHING (Dec 23): DAP Sarawak President Chong Chieng Jen said that a Dayak Prime Minister is always the promise made by Pakatan Harapan (PH) during state elections.
“The PH has proposed a Dayak CM candidate even in the last state elections and so far there is no change in that position,” the Kota Sentosa Assemblyman said when contacted today.
Chong, who is also a Stampin MP, was responding to a proposal by PKR Sarawak President Larry Sng that PH be led by a Dayak chief minister candidate for next year’s state elections.
When asked which of the PH Sarawak, DAP and PKR parties would likely be nominated as Chief Minister candidates in the upcoming state elections, Chong sidestepped the question.
“If we become a government, we will propose a CM Dayak,” he emphasized.
Earlier today, Sng, in a statement posted on his Facebook page, said he would propose that PH be run by a candidate for Chief Minister Dayak for next year’s state elections.
“I am sure that if my proposal is accepted, Pakatan Harapan will go to the state elections with a Dayak CM candidate. And if we win the state elections, he will be the third Dayak Chief Minister of Sarawak in our history. “
He said that after consultation with state PKR leaders and coalition partners, the consensus was that the selection of a Dayak leader to lead PH in the upcoming state elections and his offer to resign as chair of the State Leadership Council from PKR Sarawak (MPN) were two separate issues. .
“The PKR Sarawak state leaders have given me their full confidence and support to continue leading the MPN and do not oppose my proposal to identify a suitable Dayak leader to lead us to the elections.
“Our coalition partners have also been informed and are ready to discuss this matter seriously in early January.”
Sng said his proposal for a Dayak CM candidate was important to create equal opportunities for bumiputeras who have been neglected by the government.
