Kita bersaudara, pintu kolaborasi mesti sentiasa terbuka, kata pemimpin PKR
Naib Presiden PKR Roland Engan kata rakyat Sarawak mahu pemimpin dan parti politik yang mampu bekerjasama, menghormati perbezaan serta mengutamakan kepentingan bersama.
The President of PKR in Sarawak, Roland Engan, has emphasized that the future of Sarawak should not be monopolized by any political party or group. In a statement, he firmly stated that the doors of political collaboration must always remain open, following the Gabungan Parti Sarawak's (GPS) declaration that they will not accommodate any proposals for coalition with parties based on the Peninsula for the upcoming PRN elections.
Engan, as the Vice President of PKR, criticized any political party that chooses to close the door of cooperation, reject dialogue, or refuse to consider collaboration with others merely due to differing political views, which demonstrates a narrow and unprepared political attitude. He stressed that the door of political collaboration in Sarawak must always remain open for the benefit of the people and the state's future.
Engan did not specify the intended audience of his statement, but it came the following day after GPS spokesperson Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah claimed that inter-party cooperation at the federal level does not automatically equate to a Sarawak-based electoral partnership. GPS Secretary General Abang Johari Openg also stated that GPS would contest in all 82 seats.
Hamzah expressed the desire for GPS to avoid any arrangement that would make Sarawak reliant on a party based in Malaysia Borneo for major decisions, which might require approval from their national leadership. Engan, who is also the President of PKR Sarawak, reminded the people of Sarawak that they need leaders and political parties capable of cooperation, respect differences, and prioritize collective interests.
He reiterated that despite differences in political parties, ideologies, and opinions, they must still be united as the people of Sarawak.
Engan concluded his statement by emphasizing that the future of Sarawak should not be monopolized by any political party or group; rather, it should be built through the participation, cooperation, and commitment of all parties. He reiterated that a narrow and unprepared political attitude could lead political parties to lose the trust and support of the people.
Sarawak, with its rich diversity of ethnic groups, religions, cultures, and political views, should become a model of mature democracy, tolerance, and unity among its people, according to Engan. The state of Sarawak has been dissolved since October 26th, paving the way for the upcoming Sarawak state election, which will be held within a 60-day period.
