Puteri Umno chief: Autonomy for Sarawak just a fantasy
The Puteri Umno chief has described Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president Azmin Ali's statement that Sarawak would be
given autonomy, should the opposition come into power, as a "fantasy of Mat Jenin who could not keep his feet on the ground".
The Puteri Umno chief has described PKR vice-president Azmin Ali's statement that Sarawak would be given autonomy, should the opposition come into power, as a "fantasy of Mat Jenin who could not keep his feet on the ground".
Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin (left) said the statement was only intended to mislead the public, especially the people of Sarawak.
In Malay folklore, Mat Jenin is depicted as a dreamer.
Rosnah said PKR leaders were willing to do anything, including promising the moon and the stars, just to regain support after the party was deluged with problems, including the crisis of confidence for the existing leadership.
"The promises made by the opposition leaders, including to give autonomy to Sarawak, are absurd.
"Everyone knows Sarawak is rich in mineral and natural resources, but will not be taken in easily by PKR which has been waiting to take control of such a rich state," she said in a statement in Kota Kinabalu today.
Thus, Rosnah advised Azmin and the opposition leadership, especially PKR, to stop dreaming of something that would never become theirs.
