Jepak polls: GPS reps are not ‘yes men’, says Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Office


BINTULU: The remark by opposition candidates for the Jepak by-election that there will be no check-and-balance should Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) win the seat shows political immaturity, says Deputy Minister in the Premier’s Office (Corporate Affairs, Information and Sarawak Public Communication Unit-UKAS).

"The two candidates’ reason that there will be no check-and-balance in the state legislative assembly (DUN) as GPS is holding the majority of seats (74), is not constructive and shows their political immaturity," said Datuk Abdullah Saidoi on Saturday (Oct 21) night.
