It is unreasonable to expect Sarawak’s autonomy to be merely administrative while its main economic resources are centralised without meaningful negotiation,” he added. PDP Youth fully supports Gabungan Parti Sarawak’s (GPS) consistent approach of championing the state’s rights through constitutional channels, constructive dialogue, and the spirit of federation. PDP Youth called for MA63’s spirit of justice, meaningful autonomy, and cooperative federalism to be maintained in line with GPS’ aspirations for a strong Sarawak within a united Malaysia.
