SIBURAN, Nov 1 2026: Incumbent Mambong State Legislative Assembly Member (SLM) Dr Jerip Susil has said that he is leaving it to the wisdom of Premier Abang Johari Openg to decide whether he should be renominated to defend his seat in the coming 13th Sarawak state election.
He, however, said that he, like anyone else, would await an official announcement from the leadership of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) regarding the candidates who will contest in the election.
Quoted by TV Sarawak (TVS), Dr Jerip, who is also caretaker Deputy Minister of Transport, said he has been done his part fulfilling his responsibilities as Mambong State Legislative Member throughout his tenure, which included bringing in various development projects through government allocations.
“We have been working hard on the ground for the past few years. Over these last five years, we have remained engaged with the community, supported by government allocations, including those channeled through the Greater Kuching Coordinated Development Agency (GKCDA) and the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP)," Dr Jerip told reporters, quoted by the state tv station.
“All the efforts and projects that were planned have been implemented. So, it is now up to the people to evaluate whether we have carried out our responsibilities well or otherwise,” he said at a press conference following the license presentation ceremony for the 2026 Class B2 Driving License Assistance Programme, organized by the Puncak Borneo Parliamentary constituency in Siburan today.
Puncak Borneo Member of Parliament Willie Mongin expressed his full support for Dr Jerip to be renominated as the elected representative for the Mambong constituency.
Willie said Dr Jerip has performed his duties well and has brought various development initiatives to the area.
He added that Dr Jerip’s renomination is also crucial to ensure the continuity of planned development projects.
Willie also voiced his support for the other two elected representatives within the Puncak Borneo parliamentary constituency, Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development Roland Sagah Wee Inn to defend his Tarat state constituency and Miro Simuh to defend the Serembu state constituency.
“In my view, while much progress has been achieved, we must also acknowledge that there are still unresolved issues and shortcomings that can be addressed.
“Should all three of them be renominated, I will give them my full support.
“The continuity of the cooperation established over the past five years is vital, as stability and continuity are what bring progress to the people,” he stated.
