Trade unionist appeals for GPS to reconsider forming govt with Perikatan

KUCHING – Sarawak Bank Employees’ Union (SBEU) chief executive officer Andrew Lo is appealing for Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) to reconsider its stand in joining Perikatan Nasional (PN) to form the next federal government.

According to him, it would be better for the state’s ruling coalition to side with Pakatan Harapan (PH) and its allies to protect its “treasured legacy”.

Lo, a former secretary of the Malaysian Trades Union Congress in Sarawak, said he was compelled to issue a political statement for obvious reasons, including “for the sake of the workers”.
