GPS must uphold unity to face next Sarawak election
SIBU: Members of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) component parties have been urged to strengthen cooperation ahead of the upcoming State Election to ensure the coalition's strength remains intact. Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) senior vice-president Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh stressed that any action to mobilise the grassroots to oppose fellow party components will only give the opposition an advantage. "If there are party components that try to oppose other parties among us, this will lead to division in GPS," he said when speaking at the NN.53 Bawang Assan Pre-Gawai Night 2025 event organised by the Bawang Assan PDP last night. Wong, who is Bawang Assan assemblyman, also touched on the importance of the Gawai Dayak celebration, saying the event reflected the identity of the Dayak community, which is rich in culture, resilient and proud of their heritage. He said that for PDP, the Gawai celebration is also a reminder of the party's commitment to protecting the rights of the Dayak community, ensuring balanced development in rural Sarawak and empowering every citizen through education, infrastructure and economic opportunities. "Let us not forget that as we celebrate our traditions, we also need to prepare the next generation to face the future," he added.
