UMNO vice-president Mahdzir Khalid is confident that Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will achieve a major victory in the upcoming general election based on the ruling coalition’s performance in obtaining 76 of the 82 seats in the state assembly in the last state elections. 

Mahdzir said a big victory in the general election will contribute to a better political situation and a stable government in this country. 

“The government established must be a stable one. We don’t want to have three prime ministers in four years,” said the rural development minister when closing the Mini Carnival of Rural Entrepreneurs in Limbang today. 

According to Mahdzir, political stability is important to ensure that development can continue throughout the country, especially for rural communities. 

Earlier, Deputy Sarawak Premier Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, in his speech, said GPS needs to win big in the coming polls to ensure Sarawak has a strong voice in parliament.

He said a big victory will not only ensure the country’s political stability, but is also important for Sarawak to continue with its struggle to regain its rights and privileges as enshrined in the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

“This is a struggle for the future of our children and grandchildren,” he added. – Bernama, October 2, 2022.
