KUCHING: Sarawak’s political landscape has changed remarkably, with the quitting of members from factions within SPDP and SUPP, who have united under a new party called Parti Tenaga Rakyat Sarawak (Teras).

Those who have quit comprise the majority of elected representatives from the two Barisan parties with Tan Sri William Mawan vacating his SPDP presidentship and Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh leaving SUPP and his powerful Sibu chairman post.
