Parties likely to continue to play ‘Sarawak for Sarawakians’ card

KUCHING: Politicians will play up the “Sarawak for Sarawakians” sentiment during the next state election, especially in front of urban voters, political scientists say.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem has already positioned himself as a Sarawak patriot for standing up to Umno and demanding more oil royalties. State-based parties have followed suit. The embattled SUPP recently went on a roadshow called “SUPP for Sarawakians”.
