PBK should contest N67 Jepak by-election

*PBK - PARTI BUMI KENYALANG SHOULD CONTEST THE N67 JEPAK BY-ELECTION IN BINTULU.* 

The politics of Malaya and Sarawak from the time the Federation of Malaysia has not brought any significant progress and developments to Sarawak, especially to the vast rural areas. The citizens are still living in poverty and lack the basic infrastructure and amenities. This has been a period of 60 years. Are the people of Sarawak going to remain the same for 100 years?

For as long as we are governed by the present ruling regime in cahoot with Malaya, Sarawak and its people will never see any better developments. One political scientist has emphasised that Sarawak is 100 years behind in developments compared to Malaya. This shows the terrible lack of fiduciary duty to Sarawak. So why should Sarawak remain in the Federation of Malaysia? In the future to come Sarawak will be an independent nation, so why should we wait. Now is the time. Sarawak people are more than capable of governing the country much better. We could have much better roads all over Sarawak by now. But look at the conditions of roads in rural Sarawak. Sarawak people should not be too naive about the conditions of developments in Sarawak. The Pan-Borneo Highway should be Four-Lanes on either side to call it a highway. 

Sarawak should demand self-determination. We have enough of the hegemony of Malaya and GPS Sarawak. The struggle, as charted by PBK for Sarawak to be independent, is the only choice for Sarawak to become a great nation and country.

For the by-election for Jepak, PBK should contest the election. The struggle for Sarawak independence should be prompted wherever possible and in whatever opportunity. The people of Sarawak must and should start to advocate for Sarawak Independence. PBK is the one and only political party that advocates and fights for Sarawak Independence. 

The people of Sarawak must now wake up to see the future of Sarawak as an independent nation. Sarawak should have been a much more developed country if we had been independent. Look at how Singapore left the Federation of Malaysia in 1965, which is now a developed nation. 

Being in the Federation of Malaysia has actually made Sarawak to be a colony of Malaya. 

The people of Sarawak must support PBK so that Sarawak can go for self-determination and independent state.
