The people of Sibu have made the correct choice. This is the first ripple of the political tsunami that is going to awash the shores of Sarawak prior to the next general election. The Ibans and other bumiputras including the Malays and Melanaus of Sibu too have helped a great deal in winning Sibu knowing that the Chinese were divided, it was the native groups that provide the tipping advantage to the Pakatan Rakyat candidate, Wong Ho Leng. The next time around in constituencies where the natives are the majority, the Chinese would have to do their part by giving their support to Pakatan Rakyat's bumiputra candidates. With this strategy more successive wins can be accomplished.
The DAP Sarawak would not have been able to win the seat alone, without the cooperation and sacrifice of the other political leaders from Semenanjung especially PKR and PAS who made themselves present during the campaign and created a good impression of a united opposition front.
The Sibu miracle shows that the Foochows have risen to the occassion and SUPP is losing relevancy.
Long Live Pakatan Rakyat!!
