Disappointing GPS MPs played politics instead of supporting constitutional amendment, says S'wak DAP lawmaker

KUCHING: It is disappointing that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) MPs chose to play politics over the interests of Sabah and Sarawak by abstaining from voting on the constitutional amendment to restore both states as equal partners in Malaysia, says a Sarawak DAP lawmaker.

Bandar Kuching MP Kelvin Yii said abstaining was as good as rejecting the proposed amendment to Article 1(2) as it meant that the Bill would not secure the two-thirds majority needed to pass it.
