KUCHING, April 3 — DAP’s state committee will meet on Tuesday in Sibu to discuss the possibility of working with other Opposition parties in Sarawak for the 15th general election (GE15), its chairman Chong Chieng Jen said today.
He said the results of last December’s state election showed that the major Opposition parties must band together to take on the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in the national polls.
“No doubt, regionalism sentiment was strong in the state election. However, the results also showed that purely fighting on regional politics will not get a party anywhere,” Chong, who is also the Padungan assemblyman, said in a statement.
He said Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) contested 70 seats but won only four, while DAP won only two seats out of the 26 contested.
