PETALING JAYA: Gabungan Parti Sarawak’s landslide victory in the state election shows that the Chinese community is back to supporting the coalition, a political activist said.

Francis Paul Siah said Chinese voters in the state were rallying behind SUPP, a GPS component.

“It also shows that the Chinese opted for stability and experience in governance which they saw in the GPS administration, rather than the messy lot of unknown politicians in the eight opposition parties who were fighting each other,” said Siah who leads the Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS).

He urged PBB to stop “bullying” the party, alluding to the SUPP’s loss of its traditional seats, namely Mambong and Dudong, as one ugly episode before the election which should not have happened.

The two seats were given to the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) and PBB, making it very uncomfortable for the SUPP leadership.
