Rebuking allegations made by our former government backbencher

Recently I have rebuked the allegations made by our former government backbencher, YB Dr Johnical Rayong Ngipa who claimed Sarawak GPS Government had failed to develop rural areas.

As the Vice President of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), I have described Engkilili assemblyman Johnical Rayong Ngipa as a “confused man” because over the years our State Government had a good development track record. We have always been emphasising rural development, hence, GPS has strength in the rural areas. I think he is a confused guy because he forgot that he was with the state ruling coalition all these years before joining Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB).

Prior to joining PSB, YB Rayong was a former leader in the Sarawak United Peoples’ Party which is also a component of GPS. If the current GPS government had failed to develop the rural areas in the state, what was he doing back then? Does it mean he was a failed assemblyman or he suddenly becomes a good one after joining PSB. I did not want to sound arrogant but we are “puzzled” with YB Rayong’s claim that PSB could do better.
