Kota Sentosa rep slams DAP politicians for being dramatic over rainy seaon

KUCHING, Nov 26 2025: Kota Sentosa State Legislative Member (SLM) Wilfred Yap has slammed the Sarawak DAP politicians for being so dramatic over rainy season.

Wilfred Yap: Dspite being part of the federal government, DAP politicians still complain as if they are powerless outsider 

“Every rainy season, they come out with dramatic videos and emotional statements as if they have discovered flooding for the first time,” he said during the debate on the 2026 State Budget at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly today.

“But let us be honest. Many drainage and road issues in Kota Sentosa existed long before GPS took over the constituency.

“They are structural problems born from years of neglect when the opposition was busy campaigning instead of planning,” he alleged.

“And now, despite being part of the federal government, DAP politicians still complain as if they are powerless outsiders,” he added.

He explained he speaks for the people of Kota Sentosa, who are tired of DAP politicians who only know how to talk, blame and politicise but refuse to take responsibility when they themselves are part of the federal government.

He said the people deserve answers to a simple question, asking:”If DAP is in the federal cabinet, why can’t it fight for a larger federal allocations to solve old infrastructure problems in urban Sarawak? “Why always blame? Why never take responsibility?” he asked.

Yap stressed that Kota Sentosa’s needs are clear, such as road resurfacing, street lighting, drainage and flood mitigation, waste management upgrades, safer neighbourhoods, support for SMEs and hawkers and stronger digital connectivity

He said these require funding and consistent work year-round, weekly ground engagement, and coordination with state agencies.

“But what does the opposition offer?

“They hold press conferences, photo opportunities, and last-minute appearances after problems explode, followed by blaming the GPS government for issues rooted in federal systems, outdated infrastructure, or their own years of neglect,” he said.

Yap urged the opposition to stop using Sarawak as a stage for federal political theatre.

“If the DAP politicians want to be taken seriously by the urban electorate, then they must start taking responsibility for their role in the federal government instead of blaming the state for everything under the sun,” he pointed out.
