YB Violet Yong, Member of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly - Padungan (DAP)
*Challenging the Truth: Opposition Rejects Thanking Taib Mahmud*
YB Violet Yong, a Member of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly for Padungan (DAP), shared that during the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly sitting from May 6 to 15, 2024, the assembly approved a motion to express special thanks to former Sarawak chief ministers/former Governors of Sarawak Taib Mahmud. Thirty members of the State Legislative Assembly debated the motion, with only two opposing it, namely YB Chong and YB Violet Yong herself.
YB Chong Cheing Jen faced heavy criticism from Sarawak State Legislative Assembly members from GPS for not supporting the motion. This was compounded by Chong's statement regarding suspicions in Taib's administration. Chong stood firm and stated that he would not apologize. According to Violet, Chong's statement was reasonable.
Violet emphasized the difficulties and disadvantages faced by the people of Sarawak when there are only two opposition representatives in the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly. Each ADUN is only given 20 minutes to speak, which often results in many important matters being left unsaid.
Violet expressed her respect for the people's choice in electing GPS. However, she highlighted that the people would also lose out if a balance of power is not achieved. Currently, GPS holds 80 out of a total of 82 seats in the assembly.
During the debate on the Sarawak Ports Bill 2024, Violet questioned the failure to deepen the shipping route to Senari Port, despite a proposed depth of 9 meters and an allocation of RM370 million from the federal government. She also noted that although the project did not succeed as promised, the Kuching Port Authority still collects RM1 per ton of cargo as a maintenance fee, even though there is little evidence of maintenance work being done.
Violet expressed sadness at the habit of GPS ministers not answering questions in the State Legislative Assembly. She hopes that the people will consider the need to give more votes to the opposition, even if it does not bring victory to PH in Sarawak.
