KUCHING, Aug 23 2026: Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) president Voon Lee Shan mocked at Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen’s appeal to Sarawakians to vote in more State Legislative Members (SLM) from state DAP in the coming state election.
He noted that both Chong,who is Padungan SLM, and Violet have already been given many terms of opportunity by Sarawakians, yet their performance has been weak.
“Instead of weakening GPS, the decline in DAP's number of seats under their leadership has, in PBK’s view, contributed to GPS becoming stronger,” he said in a statement when reacting to Chong’s appeal.
Voon, a former DAP SLM for Batu Lintang, said Sarawakians should now consider giving PBK an opportunity to take over the role of leading the opposition or even as the government to protect people first, not Malaya first and not Sarawak first
“Sarawak First is about mega infrastructure and development benefitting the capitalists but not Food on the Table for the people which both GPS, DAP and Malaya are able to help to the expectation of people
“The era of Malayan-style politics and Malayan-based political parties in Sarawak should come to an end,” he said, adding that Sarawakians want local political parties that understand Sarawak's own interests, aspirations and political realities.
He called on Sarawakians to give local Sarawak parties a stronger mandate and allow themselves to determine the future political direction of the state.
Recently, Chong called on Sarawakians to vote in more SLMs in the coming state election, so to give louder voices in the legislative assembly.
He said Sarawakians should not allow him and Violet alone to challenge GPS in SLA.
