He said several issues including on the return of Sarawak’s rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) were deliberately touched in the manifesto.
“If I am the opposition, I will also say so. Propaganda on such issues is a game for the opposition pact,” he told a press conference here yesterday.
Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister James Masing said if the opposition took over, the state would have leaders who are not “Sarawak-friendly”.
He said the opposition pact had no clear policies as to where it was heading.
Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Faculty of Communications and Media senior lecturer Ismail Sualman said the pledge to abolish the goods and services tax (GST) was something impossible because the tax helped the country’s expenditure.
Jeniri Amir from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) said the abolition of the tax was something irrelevant and was raised just to fish for votes.
“GST is enforced in many other countries. The result is positive and there is no other better system of taxation,” he said.
