Vernon Kedit: Masing can do more than just criticising



By Vernon Aji Kedit,
Sarawak PKR Information Chief

 I read with a sense of amusement and disbelief today's headline in the Borneo Post screaming "Legality of nation at stake".

 Tan Sri James Jemut Masing, President of PRS, has outdone himself yet again for having the courage and grit to question the Election Commission and call for a reinstatement of the Malaysia Agreement of 1963 and I personally salute the man for his tenacity.

Give back those powers, Adenan tells Najib



By Doris Yoong
KUCHING, June 4, 2015  - Chief Minister Adenan Satem is asking the federal government to surrender back those powers which Sarawak had given away since the formation of Malaysia in 1963.
"We want our autonomy back," he said, adding that he had discussed with Prime Minister Najib Razak over breakfast before they left to attend a public  gathering in support of  Najib at the Unity Stadium in Petrajaya this morning.
"We want those powers back otherwise, there is little meaning to our request for autonomy," the chief minister told Najib at the gathering.

Najib must give firm commitment on oil and gas royalty to reciprocate Sarawak's support for his leadership



By See Chee How,
State PKR vice chairman and Batu Lintang State Assembly

 Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak must give Sarawakians a firm commitment on the 20% oil and gas royalty and a five-years plan to develop  Sarawak and Sabah to be at par with Peninsular Malaysia, together with his pledge for good governance, before seeking the allegiance of Sarawakians to support his leadership.

He must take heed of the statement by Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Adenan Satem that the development, progress and modernization that is accorded to the Peninsula Malaysia must also be given to Sarawak.

Baru: Why we must be thankful to celebrate Gawai Dayak

Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian's Gawai Dayak message
Being a multi-racial country, Malaysia is a one of the few countries in the world to observe numerous holidays and celebrations.

We consider this a great privilege for us, and the fact that Sarawakians of all races and ethnicity can freely celebrate Gawai each year is reason for us to be thankful.

The celebration of the harvest, or Gawai, is a major feature of our unique cultural heritage.
YB Baru Bian
