Don't be fooled by the opposition's ploy and claims that they only want to reduce Barisan Nasional's majority in the upcoming election because Sarawakians might end up having them as government, warned Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem.
Speaking to reporters during a briefing, Adenan said if the opposition only wanted to reduce BN's majority, they would not contest in so many seats.
"If you react to this, you might end up having them as the government. It is their desire to form the government. If that happens, we will be controlled by parties from West Malaysia," Adenan said.
He added that there was a grim possibility that Sarawak would be controlled by parties that are not native to the state.
On the 36 independents contesting in the election, Adenan described them as nuisances and would not be accepted into BN even if they won.
Adenan said his decision to field direct candidates could have contributed to some BN members deciding to stand as independents since they were frustrated for not being selected as BN candidates.
"I have to apologise as I cannot please everybody (when deciding on the direct candidates). Don't expect me to put angels as candidates. They (the candidates) all have their strength and weakness," he said.
Adenan further admitted that he was rather surprised by the decision of a PBB Supreme Council member, Watson Bangau Jonathan Renang, to contest as an independent candidate.
Following the decision, Bangau was sacked from the party yesterday.
