PETALING JAYA:

 Sarawak has enjoyed prolonged political stability because DAP has never been part of the state government, says deputy premier Dr Sim Kui Hian.

He claimed DAP was divisive and polarising, adding that it had not shed these attributes over time, Dayak Daily reported.

The Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) president added that the Bornean state was a beacon of unity and progress at a time when the entire world, including Peninsular Malaysia, was bogged down by disunity and politicking.

“We are blessed with political stability under the visionary leadership of Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg. This is because we do not have DAP in the Sarawak government.

“They are always divisive, polarising and politicking, disguising their actions as championing the people’s cause,” he was quoted as saying in the Sarawak legislative assembly today.

Sim, a vice-chairman of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), said GPS must be on guard against enemies both within and outside Sarawak, and even within the ruling state coalition.
