KUCHING: Everbody - parti leaders, members and supporters are anxiously waiting for the Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Tan Sri Dr George Chan to return home from overseas to announce the party's stand on either to stay put in Barisan Nasional (BN) or leave the coalition to become an opposition party.
Even other BN's component parties leaders and members are also anxiously waiting for Chan's announcement.
Many in Sarawak had said the party's secretary-general statement Datuk Sim Kheng Hui last month was only to test the water, and believed that SUPP leaders will never leave BN. They believed SUPP will be dead if the party is outside BN. Such move will give DAP the advantage to win more Chinese supports.
Sources said the party leaders made the statement just to show to their supporters that they are actually fighting hard for the Chinese as they had accused of not fighting hard for the Chinese cause.
Howover it was no more a secret that SUPP leaders are actually very unhappy with the State BN leaders who they claimed did not fulfilled many of their requests.
