Mere change of name is meaningless, says Chong


KUCHING: Unless there is a clear change in policies by the Sarawak government, a mere change of name from Sarawak Barisan Nasional to Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) was meaningless, said state Pakatan Harapan chairman Chong Chieng Jen.

He said pulling out of Barisan would not make any difference in the state’s political landscape as they were still the same component parties with the same old policies.
