Shape up and be fair and reasonable SUPP

KUCHING: Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Tan Sri Dr George Chan’s statement that his party never said it wanted to quit Barisan Nasional (BN) was what the answer expected by many.

Dr Chan yesterday finally quashed talk of the possible pullout which was a hotly debated issue in the State over a month while the deputy chief minister was away overseas.

The statement made by SUPP secretary-general recently that hinted the party could pull out of BN if that was the wish of its members and the people, had invited  the other BN component parties to pressure Dr Chan to make the party’s stand clear and public.

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) deputy publicity chief Dato’ Peter Minos had this to say: “On the first place why hinted that you would leave BN? That was not a nice or wise thing to do. You had created doubts and suspicion and the other BN partners do not like it.”

He said by hinting to get out of BN, SUPP impliedly was telling the world that BN was the caused of their problem.

Minos said the truth was SUPP itself which created the past and the recent leadership squabbles, the factionalism and cronyism in the party and the neglect of the Dayaks in the party.

He said all these are actually self created and nothing to do with BN.  

Regarding education and the economy, Minos said everybody know who are left behind.

“Those who are truly left behind do not politicise. They do not threaten. They know the realities of things in Malaysia,” Minos added.

SUPP, he added must shape up and be fair and reasonable and stop the politics of the denial mode, brinkmanship and postering and pressuring fellow BN partners.

“Just be clear, honest and sincere, and be reasonable with own weaknesses and with the others,” he said.

Towards this, Minos said SUPP made the right move to stay put within BN or else the party will die if it is outside BN.

Some also said ‘If SUPP stay within BN, the party will die of natural death but if it pull out then it will immediately.’
