KUCHING: The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) state government would have betrayed its oath if it clung to power under the guise of an Emergency as its mandate was supposed to have expired in June, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Chief Minister said GPS’ decision to seek the King’s consent for the early termination of the state-wide Emergency, paving the way for the state election to be held within 60 days, was made in the spirit and intent of upholding the federal and state constitutions.
