Changing the status quo

WHEN Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Assoc Prof Dr Faisal S. Hazis was back in Sarawak last week to give a talk, he had a sense that Sarawakians did not know how to make sense of the new political situation in the state.

Sarawakians were talking about the possible entry of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) into Sarawak. Some were confused that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) was no longer with Barisan Nasional and is now Pakatan Harapan –friendly.
