Recently I had openly requested our local opposition party leaders not to simply criticise the state GPS government leaders’ good intention to play their part in contributing towards the State Disaster Fund that was aimed to curb the spread of Covid19.
I have mentioned DAP's Sarawak chairman, YB Chong Chieng Jen and president of Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB), YB president Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh who should not chastise us as all we want to do is to help our local folks.
I have told them that if you too want to help, please do so and donate your salaries too. If the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) assemblymen are willing to donate two months of their salaries, both of them should do so as well.
The move made by the state government's cabinet, GPS state assemblymen and political secretaries in contributing two months of their salaries was to show that we are concern with the local folk’s plight and in doing so, even those in civil service have agreed to donate to the State Disaster Fund.
Both DAP and PSB may say that the move was simply a political gimmick to get publicity mileage but similar move had been emulated by other state governments nationwide, including that in Penang which is governed by the DAP.
It is not only the Sarawak GPS leaders donating their salaries, the Penang government leaders who are DAP members are also doing the same although they are only giving one month's salary. Thus, if they (Sarawak DAP) say we in GPS are only trying to attract publicity, then how about the Penang government which is run by DAP? Is it only doing it for publicity as well?
