Pakatan Harapan Sarawak will meet on Friday 2/9/2022 at 10:30 am to discuss the way forward and the strategy for the impending GE15.
Following the appointment of Roland Engan as the PKR Sarawak’s chairman, the scene is now set for PH Sarawak to meet to discuss the direction of PH Sarawak comprising DAP Sarawak, PKR Sarawak and AMANAH Sarawak.
With the recent cabinet decision to bring forward the tabling of Budget 2023 to 7.10.2022, rumours are rife that the GE15 will likely be held in November, 2022.
The coming GE15 will be very important for the future of the country.
Now that Najib is behind bars for, inter alia, the criminal breach of trust committed by him while holding the office of Prime Minister, the question whether he will serve his full term or be pardoned pre-maturely, will to a large extent depend upon the result of GE15. Also, whether the other UMNO VVIPs who are currently charged in Court, will see their charges withdrawn or otherwise, will depend also on the outcome of GE15.
More importantly for the people and the country, whether the reforms started by the PH Government after the GE14 will be continued, will also depend upon the outcome of GE15. Will the country revert to the old UMNO’s day or move forward with more systemic reforms? If BN wins in GE15, we will likely see the country reverting to the old days of UMNO supremacy and rampant corruption.
The Sarawak GPS is the UMNO loyalist as shown time and again. Regardless what the SUPPs say, PBB will stick with UMNO as they have the same DNA. SUPP has no choice but to follow suit. As the GPS has already had a strong grip over the State’s power, to give them more Parliamentary seats in the coming GE will be a great disservice to Sarawak. Not only will it strengthen the chances of UMNO’s return, but it will create the political hegemony having no check and balance for all Sarawakians.
Therefore, it is important that PH Sarawak strategize soonest possible for the coming GE15.
