The appointment of a DAP Sarawak MP as a deputy minister in the federal Cabinet represents a clear reversal of the party’s earlier stance on not seeking executive power, says a Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) leader.

“Yet in 2025, that promise has been conveniently discarded. The appointment of a DAP Sarawak MP as a deputy minister is a clear and undeniable U-turn.
“This is not an administrative coincidence – it contradicts what was promised to Sarawakians,” he said.
