*Issues of Silence and Exploitation in Bintulu Port Development*
Yesterday, all 23 Sarawak GPS MPs expressed their happiness when the People's Assembly passed the Bintulu Port Board (Dissolution) Bill 2024 and the Bill declaring Bintulu a federal port (dissolution) 2024. Deputy Prime Minister Fadilah Yusuf thanked the Prime Minister. John Brian, a Sarawakian, shared his joy, stating, "As a Sarawakian, I certainly feel happy." He added that he knows the history of Bintulu Port well, having served as its chairman in 2018.
Brian explained that Bintulu Port was developed with federal funds through PETRONAS to export natural gas to Japan and Korea. He questioned why the GPS had not spoken up about this sooner. He suggested that the BN's strong power at the federal level and GPS's fear at the state level were the reasons for their silence. He also criticized BN for not being sincere towards Sarawak, citing their exploitation of Sarawak's resources.
However, with the political changes before and after PRU15, the return of Bintulu Port under MA63 became possible. Before PH's victory, Anwar Ibrahim promised to return all Sarawak rights, and after PH won in PRU15, he fulfilled his promise. Brian emphasized that these efforts were not due to GPS but to PH and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's goodwill. He urged the people of Sarawak to vote for PKR/PH in the next election, as this party has proven to be honest and has good intentions to help the people of Sarawak.
