BINTULU – Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing reaffirms the party’s support for Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
Tiong, also the Bintulu MP, said PDP pledged its full support for the premier’s leadership to maintain political stability and cooperation.
He said this at PDP’s Chinese New Year open house at the Civic Centre here, where Abang Johari was the guest of honour.
“Do not worry, we in PDP will not backstab any component parties in GPS,” Tiong assured while admitting that hiccups were to be expected in any political coalition.
“If we are not against them (the component parties in GPS), they should, therefore, not ‘kong kali kong’ us.”
Separately, Tiong, who is tourism, arts and culture minister said he was committed to work alongside state Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
“Abdul Karim is my counterpart in Sarawak, and we are working together to boost the state’s tourism industry and find ways to bring air connectivity to Sarawak,” he said. – February 18, 2024
