KUCHING: Success does not come from luck, it derives from lots of hard work, good strategic planning, wise and able leadership, uttered political analyst Datuk Peter Minos.
“Every project such as a road to water supply, from electricity to solar, from one new industry to another and so on has nothing to do with being lucky,” he stressed.
He asserted that there was a lot of thinking and planning in for success to materialise.
“I can see it with the ART project in Kota Samarahan, where many people are involved in a lot of hard, tedious work.
“Those who say it is due to good luck are either dreamers or envious of Sarawak and are out to put Sarawak down,” he said.
Minos suspected some people in West Malaysia said and wrote that it was mere luck that Sarawak has rapidly progressed and advanced in the last few years.
“I say it has nothing to do with luck. Success does not come from luck.
“We Sarawakians can see it all, as to how our Premier going all over the world seeking ideas and implementing them if feasible and good for Sarawak,” he said in a statement recently.
“Some questioned why Sarawak asked this and that from the federal government. Sarawak asked for what it is legally entitled for through MA63, the federal constitution and other laws and nothing more.
“People must realise that Sarawak has been left behind in so many things and various aspects of development compared to the peninsular and so it is time to get things done and to catch up,” he said.
Minos added that there is no time nor place to be envious of Sarawak.
“An economic success for Sarawak is in fact a good thing for Malaysia for it must be our nation’s policy to be fair and just to all regardless of race, religion or region,” he concluded.
