KUCHING (Dec 1): The deputy prime minister’s (DPM) post in the federal cabinet has never been Sarawak’s top priority, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman said by winning the last general election (GE15), Sarawak has never asked for anything in return for the major win, but for the Federal Government to honour its Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63).

“Last election, we did not ask for anything, we went along with the election, we contested, and if we win, let it be, but we never asked for anything in return, especially with regard to the top cabinet post.
