Sarawak will have a chance to fight for state’s rights


KUCHING: Sarawakians will have the opportunity to strengthen their voice in Parliament in the 15th General Election (GE15) in fighting for the state’s rights, says Deputy Premier Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian.

The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) president said a strong win for the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) coalition would boost the state’s efforts to regain its rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), including autonomy on health and education, a bigger share of financial allocations as well as for one-third of parliamentary seats to be for Sabah and Sarawak.
