Only through mutual respect and genuine cooperation can we preserve political stability and deliver on development goals,\u201d Wong said during his speech at the N.53 Bawang Assan Pre-Gawai 2025 programme held at a leading hotel here last night.<\/p>\n<p>Wong, who is also the assemblyman for Bawang Assan, said strengthening unity among PDP members and GPS allies should remain a top priority, particularly at a time when public expectations toward Sarawak\u2019s leadership was increasing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cService is not about positions or titles, but about duty and sincerity. If we allow internal power struggles and sabotage to take root, it is the people who will pay the price,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated PDP\u2019s core mission of defending Dayak rights, promoting balanced rural development, and empowering communities through education and economic opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people will remember what we do, not what we promise. That\u2019s why we must serve with our hearts, not just with words,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He also praised the organisers, local leaders, and volunteers for their dedication in making the event a success, describing their teamwork as a reflection of the \u2018berjalai sejalai\u2019 spirit in advancing the community.<\/p>\n<p>Wong further encouraged the community to preserve their cultural heritage while preparing younger generations to face the challenges of the future.<\/p>\n<p>Among those present at the event were PDP president and Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, who officiated the event as the guest of honour and GPS Zone 9 Chief and Vice President of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), who is also Deputy Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development, Datuk Dr Annuar Rapa\u2019ee.<\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance were Ba\u2019kelalan assemblyman Baru Bian, Meluan assemblyman Roland Duat Jubin, Krian assemblyman Friday Belik, Senator Pele Peter Tinggom, Political Secretaries to the Premier of Sarawak Joshua Ting and Brian Fong, PDP Bawang Assan Division Chairman Councillor Wong Hua and organising chairman Tuai Rumah Bujang Ujeh. \u2014 The Borneo Post<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Malay Mail <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaymail.com\/news\/malaysia\/2025\/05\/17\/wong-soon-koh-warns-against-internal-sabotage-in-gps-component-parties-calls-for-stronger-cooperation-to-preserve-stability\/177052\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Vice President of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh (5th left) rings the gong to mark the opening of the Bawang Assan Pre-Gawai Celebration 2025 at a leading hotel in Sibu May 16, 2025. \u2014 The Borneo Post pic Skip the FD.
