‘Noble reasons, objectives won the day for PRS’ Tan Sri Dr. James Jemut Masing


KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president Tan Sri Dr James Masing attributed the party’s victory in the May 5 general election to “noble reasons and sound political objectives”.
He opined that politics and political fights must be based on sound political ideologies and objectives, and PRS had adhered to this principle.

“The victors of electoral fights are normally those who fought for noble reasons and with sound political objectives, and we, in PRS, stuck to that principle which enabled our (party) to win,” he said at PRS 13th general election victory dinner at KTS Garden on Friday.

PRS won all six seats – Sri Aman, Lubok Antu, Kanowit, Julau, Selangau and Hulu Rajang – it contested in the polls.
Its victors Masir Kujat (Sri Aman), Willia Nyalau (Lubok Antu, Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang (Kanowit), Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum (Julau), Datuk Joseph Entulu (Selangau) and Wilson Ugak Kumbong (Hulu Rajang) were all present.
Taking a swipe at Sarawak Workers Party (SWP), Masing, who is also Land Development Minister, said PRS was neither fighting based on anger, personal vendettas nor revenge.

“We (PRS) fight because we have a good cause to fight … we want to contest because we have abilities to lead this nation to a better future, and that dream of a better future for this country must be above our personal interests.
“We should not contest just because we want to be ahli YB (elected representatives) or continue to contest simply because we still want to be in power.”

Masing remarked that the recently concluded election was one of the toughest elections he had ever experienced, and perhaps the hardest for PRS in its eight years of existence.He said the party was challenged by three opponents in Pakatan Rakyat, Independents and SWP.While Pakatan was a well organised political entity with very clear aims and objectives, Masing said the party also had to face an independent candidate who went around saying that he was not contesting against BN but only to fight against a BN candidate.

SWP’s objective, he added, was to annihilate PRS.Masing noted that the tussle with SWP caught the attention of the media and the people, and so-called political experts also jumped into the circus by erroneously predicting the demise of PRS in the hands of SWP.He stressed that the people should treasure the prevailing peace and harmony which had been designed by the nation’s forefathers through careful planning and through the rule of law.“Until and unless we learn to be grateful and respect the rule of law, we will not be respected by the very people we fight to rule and administer.”
