Conduct election ‘Sarawak Style’, suggests Abdul Karim

March 19, 2011, Saturday

KUCHING: Do it ‘Sarawak Style’, chief political secretary to the Chief Minister, Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said when urging everyone to be vigilant in the coming state election.

“Sarawak style is a bit different from West Malaysia where candidates and supporters from all parties display good manners when holding an election. A candidate can also visit and shake hands with opposing party supporters,” Karim said when met at a press conference yesterday.

Karim disapproved of rowdy behaviour during campaigning and polling day. He said what was important was for everyone to carry out their role and not throw baseless accusations against one another.

On the challenge posed by SNAP, Karim said its fielding of 16 candidates was not a big challenge to Barisan Nasional.

Karim said BN would not rest on its laurels when it comes to facing challenges during election time.

He commented that PKR Sarawak, under the leadership of Baru Bian, had no experience to talk of as he had never won a seat before.
