Lim Guan Eng, today, 24 November, apologised to Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg and his Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government for past remarks that "may have offended" them

In a statement, the DAP chairperson said that he offers his apology for his remarks that may have offended the Sarawak Premier and the Sarawak state government.

"The future of the country is more important," he said, adding, "Let us make a fresh start to cooperate together to preserve the diversity, inclusiveness, and unity of our multi-racial and multi-cultural society."
