Accepted Answer

SUPP's Chinese New Year Open House Relocated to Sibu to Accommodate State-Level Celebration

The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) is holding its annual Chinese New Year (CNY) open house and dinner gathering in Sibu this year for the first time. This relocation is to ensure that the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) is available for the state-level CNY 2024 open house, which is scheduled for February 10. The SUPP event itself will take place on February 17 at Kingwood Hotel in Sibu, marking a departure from its usual celebration at the party’s headquarters in Kuching.
State-Level Celebration Takes Precedence

The decision to move the SUPP's CNY celebration to Sibu stems from the scheduling of the official state-level Chinese New Year open house. By holding its event on a different date and location, SUPP is making way for the larger, state-organised function at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching on February 10. This arrangement allows both significant events to proceed without conflict, ensuring the broader participation and observance of the festive period at both party and state levels.
Sibu Hosts the 65th Anniversary Celebration

This year's SUPP CNY dinner gathering in Sibu is particularly significant as it commemorates the party's 65th anniversary. The event is expected to draw over 1,500 guests, including Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg. The co-organisation by the five SUPP branches in Sibu—Dudong, Pelawan, Nangka, Bukit Assek, and Bawang Assan—highlights the local party’s involvement in hosting this milestone celebration.
Broad Invitations Extended to Political Allies

Invitations for the SUPP CNY dinner gathering in Sibu have been extended to a wide array of guests and political partners. This includes all Chinese associations, every SUPP branch across Sarawak, and component parties of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). Specifically, invitations have been sent to Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), and Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), underscoring the collaborative spirit among the ruling coalition parties for this celebratory occasion.
