Our media friends had seek my comments on the issue of leadership in Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) after the demise of its president, late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing but I have mentioned that the party has many good leaders and it will be able to find a suitable successor.
I believe that the party’s supreme council will identify a suitable person to fill the former deputy chief minister’s shoes. In any institutions when there is a vacant position, a replacement will be sought after. There are great leaders in PRS, so I am confident that they will know how to identify and select among themselves.
It is the way forward for PRS in light of the demise of their president who was the state assemblyman for Baleh in Kapit who passed away on 31 October. I opined the party, through its supreme council can appoint someone to assume the duties as president on temporary basis. When the party holds its general assembly, then a permanent president can be appointed.
I have also expressed the confidence for PRS to be able to identify a candidate to replace the late Tan Sri James Masing and they will find someone who can continue the struggles so that the area remains supervised and well-maintained.
We all know that Baleh is a stronghold of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) and formerly, the Barisan Nasional (BN) Sarawak. We want to see the same for the future. The late Tan Sri James Masing is a close friend of mine and a good comrade who truly loves Sarawak. I offer my condolences to Puan Sri Corrine Masing and to his family. The late Tan Sri James will be remembered as someone who fought for the Dayaks and uplifted the community.
He did this is through education, infrastructure development or in terms of Native Customary Rights (NCR) land. Even though the late Tan Sri James is a strict and disciplined person but he has always been soft-spoken and a gentleman. Personally I rarely seeing him raising his voice. He has throughout his life, been a soft-spoken person in expressing his opinions and views.
