“As an MP he made the decision to be led by Muhyiddin and the PN government after seeing our commitment and proactiveness in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic impact on the country.
“He also is happy with PN’s promise to look into the 1963 Malaysian Agreement specifically dealing with the oil and gas industry. He is convinced this government can protect and align their aspirations with those in Sarawak, in particular Lubok Antu.”
