PSB doesn’t serve any ‘bossku’ from peninsula, says Lanang candidate

SIBU: Sarawakians should vote for Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) in the 15th general election (GE15) as the local-based party does not serve any ‘bossku’ from Peninsular Malaysia, said the party’s Lanang candidate Priscilla Lau.

She said she had been asked a lot why voters should support PSB instead of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) or Democratic Action Party (DAP).

“People have been asking me why they should give their votes to PSB. They also ask about the difference between PSB, GPS and Rocket (DAP).

“Well, GPS has shown you its report card. For about 60 years, what has GPS done? The life of our people is ge ing more difficult with the rising prices of goods and food.

“As for Rocket, I was happy to see this party back in 2014 or 2015 when I had hope that Rocket could bring about a be er Sarawak. I even commi ed myself to helping them but nothing much has been done.

“Both Rocket and GPS have their respective ‘bossku’ to serve,” she said during the PSB ceramah here Saturday night.

According to Lau, Sarawak has every right to regain autonomy in many aspects except defence and foreign affairs, as enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

“Federal (Putrajaya) has absolute power over defence and foreign affairs only. As for the rest, Sarawak can fight to regain its autonomy.

“But all these years, GPS and Rocket did not voice out for us. Apart from immigration, the rest of our state’s rights have been eroded.”

Lau said with Sarawak being rich in oil and gas resources, Sarawakians should be enjoying shared prosperity like the people of oil-rich Dubai who have been leading a comfortable lifestyle.

She said voters should also ask whether their candidates are fluent in Bahasa Malaysia, the language used in Parliament.

She added they must also find out whether their candidates are aware of the job scope as an MP.

“Is Wong Ching Yong fluent in Bahasa Malaysia? If an MP is not good at Bahasa Malaysia, what can the MP do in parliament?” she asked.

Lau is in a four-cornered fight for Lanang with incumbent Alice Lau from Democratic Party, Wong Ching Yong of Gabungan Parti Sarawak, and independent candidate Datuk Wong Tiing Kiong.
