1Malaysia Concept A Practice In SPDP Since Formation

MIRI, July 12 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) has no problem adopting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak's 1Malaysia concept as it has been practised in the party since its formation, said SPDP senior vice-president Datuk Jacob Dungau Sagan.

He said SPDP was established on the basis of multi-racialism and this had been shown by the representation in the party which composed of all communities.

"In SPDP, members' racial or religious backgrounds are immaterial, we have the ability to accept and respect each other," he said when officiating the party's Senadin Division trennial general meeting here Sunday.

He said Najib, who passed the 100th day mark in office as Prime Minister yesterday, had also shown his confidence by maintaining SPDP's representation in the Federal Cabinet after taking over the helm from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Sagan was reappointed as Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, while SPDP vice-president Jelaing Mersat was appointed Deputy Home Minister in the Najib-led cabinet.
