Pemimpin GPS tepis dakwaan Malaysia Timur hilang peranan ‘kingmaker’
Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata pengaruh Sabah dan Sarawak bukan hanya dalam bentuk jumlah kerusi di Parlimen, tetapi juga kepentingan ekonomi serta sumber asli mereka.
Sarawak's leader has implied that the PKR party in Malaysia East will lose its role as the 'kingmaker' in the 2016 general election due to the informal coalition between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) being perceived as having a high probability of securing a majority and forming a single-party federal government.
Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah stated that political dynamics could change, but Sabah and Sarawak would continue to be crucial in determining the country's political landscape. Any predictions about the national political outcome should take into account the strategic importance of the two states. He emphasized in Kuching that one must consider where Malaysia's true strength lies, and whether political parties on the mainland are willing to risk not working together with Sarawak or Sabah.
Would they be brave enough to do so? He responded to Larry Sng's prediction, the president of the BN-M, that under the current vote count from the Negeri Sembilan PRN, BN-PN could secure a comfortable majority in the 2016 general election, needing only 14 more seats.
