Let’s stop the blame game

Many isolated highland settlements in remote mountains of Sarawak such as this in the Bakelalan highlands are linked by only footpaths as there are no proper roads. The lives of the community should be a priority instead of politicians pointing fingers at one another.

THERE was a lot of tub-thumping about the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and Sarawak’s rights and autonomy throughout the just-concluded state legislative assembly sitting.

Members from the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) coalition in particular seemed keen to showcase their credentials as true-blue Sarawakians fighting for the state’s interests in the face of a supposedly uncaring Federal Government.
