Willie Kajan, Activist from Baram
*GPS's Intent turn Sarawak to sultanate state, eg: Renaming Chief Minister as Premier*
The Jepak state assembly by-election campaign is getting hotter when - from the very first day there has been provocation and the throwing of ideas and arguments. During the first day of the campaign, GPS belittled the PBK party (Parti Bumi Kenyalang). According to GPS, PBK should not contest because PBK is a mosquito/small party. GPS claims that they are certain to win. PBK- through the president- Voon Lee Shan responded- that GPS is too arrogant to stifle the voice of democracy. Voon attacked GPS with the idea that if given too much power, GPS would turn Sarawak into an Islamic state or eventually become a sultanate state. This was denied by GPS through Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah's statement. Voon said GPS governed Sarawak unfairly, causing Sarawak to be a rich state with poor people. PBK is fighting for Sarawak to leave Malaysia.
Willie agrees with Voon's view that GPS is unfair in governing Sarawak. Revenue from the interior is unloaded and the area is left poor and lacking infrastructure facilities. According to Willie, although Karim denied that Sarawak would not become a sultanate state. But efforts towards that have already begun. That is, Sarawak has changed the title of the chief minister to Premier (meaning Prime Minister). Related to the idea that Sarawak should demand to leave Malaysia. According to Willie, if after 60 years Sarawak's existence in Malaysia does not bring the expected progress. The idea of leaving Malaysia should be considered.
