Voon Lee Shan, PBK President (Bumi Kenyalang Party)
*The 99% Dominance of GPS in Sarawak State Assembly: A Democracy Check*
On nomination day, the GPS leader expressed a somewhat contemptuous expectation and questioned PBK, asking why they are participating in the election. They suggested that PBK should let GPS win the by-election without wasting money. This is a voice of arrogance and intent to belittle and humiliate our party. Voon said. This is a democratic country. Anyone can compete and the winner will be determined after counting the votes. Asked whether PBK can win and what issues are brought up. The main issue is the independence of Sarawak. After 60 years have passed. Sarawak is not developed. So to develop Sarawak. Sarawak should become an independent country with its own administration. GPS wants political power in Malaysia through MA63. But PBK is of the view that MA63 is an invalid agreement. Many professors and legal practitioners think that MA63 is invalid and should be repealed. So to cancel MA63 and bring Sarawak out of Malaysia. So PBK should be given victory and win big in the upcoming Sarawak State Assembly Election. The Jepak state by-election is also an opportunity to raise corruption and abuse of power. The solar embezzlement case of the RM1.25 billion hybrid solar project that links the corruption of Rosmah Mansur must be uncovered. The owner of the company and those involved are in Jepak. People should know and be aware to reject corrupt leaders.
Apart from that, political power up to 99% is dominated by GPS in the Sarawak State Assembly, not healthy for democracy- check power. Imagine if GPS amended Sarawak law and made the position of TYT as Sultan. So Taib Mahmud will bequeath his position to his children and grandchildren in the future. At this time the position of Chief Minister has been changed to Premier. It is not impossible that he can also be changed to the Prime Minister. This can all be done with political power. We in Sarawak do not want the status of Sarawak to be changed to a Muslim country. While 62% of the population of Sarawak are Christians. Therefore, the vote should be given to the party that will fight for the rights of the people of Sarawak. I pray for a successful election campaign. For now, it seems OK. I don't want to be like in the last state election when our party was always followed by the police which affected our campaign visit schedule.

Bob Monolan, PH Senator of Orang Asli
*Respecting the Rule of Law: Controversy Surrounding the Najib Petition Movement*
A movement is reportedly gathering signatures from undergraduates at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) to support a petition for the release of former Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. Several student leaders have confirmed the existence of this movement but have chosen to remain anonymous.
In response to these developments, Bob Monolan expressed that if such a movement is indeed taking place, it is well within their rights to do so. However, he underscored the crucial importance of respecting the judicial verdict. Given Najib's conviction, it is incumbent upon him to serve his sentence in accordance with the law.
Bob Monolan further pointed out a stark contrast between individuals who resort to theft due to poverty or hunger, often receiving severe penalties, with no one advocating for their leniency or appeal. This, he noted, is a disheartening aspect of the legal system.
He emphasized that Najib's case is far from trivial and cannot be resolved solely through the collection of signatures seeking his release. The verdict was the result of a meticulous judicial process, and Najib must take responsibility for his actions, which is not only a legal obligation but also a duty to the entire nation.

Baru Bian, Ba' Kelalan assemblyman cum lawyer
In a recent statement by Abg Jo, when questioned by a student regarding native status, he discussed a previous statement made by YB Hasidah. YB Hasidah had stated that in mixed marriages involving a native and a non-native, the children were required to apply with a fee of RM100, and a panel led by the state secretary would make the decision.In response to this, YB Baru expressed a differing opinion, stating that this approach is incorrect. According to him, a child should be automatically recognized as native under existing laws, provided there is documentation to prove that one of the parents is native. It's as simple as that.
It appears that in the latest statement, Abg Jo disagreed with YB Hasidah's position and expressed agreement with the suggestion that filling out the form is only for statistical purposes.
