The outcome of the Melaka State Election yesterday sends a clear message that the people want a stable government and political situation, said Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg .
Abang Johari, popularly known as Abang Jo, said the results also showed that the people rejected the "frog" (party-hopping) political culture.
"Yesterday's results (in the Melaka State Election) bring two clear messages, the first is that people want a very stable government.
"Secondly, people don't like the "frog" culture. The message is very clear that people got fed up with uncertainty," he said.
The Sarawak Chief Minister, who is also Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) president, told this to reporters at a groundbreaking ceremony for a Sarawak River bridge project in Sejingkat here today.
The bridge costing approximately RM365 million is expected to be completed in 2025.
In the Melaka State Election, Barisan Nasional (BN) won 21 out of the 28 seats up for grabs, thus securing more than two-thirds majority in the State Legislative Assembly.
The Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional coalitions won five and two seats respectively.
