KUCHING: The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB)’s Youth movement have been told to be more vocal and aggressive to help the party and Barisan Nasional win big in the coming general election.
Rousing them was supreme council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, who on Sunday night said it was not late for the PBB Youth to go all out in cyberspace to reach out to voters.
“The cyberspace is still our weak area. But we cannot continue to be steps behind our opponents. We should be putting in more effort in the ‘cyber war’ because the young people are often on the Internet and that is where we can get close to them.
“In this ‘battle’, the members of our Youth movement must not be afraid, and they must be ready to face off with PKR and DAP though they may seem to be more aggressive in their approach,” he said at the PBB Youth Chief Football Challenge Trophy prize presentation.
Believing the election could be called anytime soon, he reminded PBB Youth movement of the big role to play to ensure victory for the party and BN.
“I believe the election could be within the next two to three months. Even the prime minister said the election is near. We must know our roles, come the battle in the election. This coming election will be very tough because we not only want a win, but to win in a big way especially in PBB seats,” said the Youth Development Assistant Minister.
Also present was PBB Youth chief Datuk Fadillah Yusof who is the incumbent MP for Petra Jaya.
When starting his speech, Datuk Fadillah gave tribute to Abdul Karim whom he described as a person still ‘close’ with PBB Youth movement due to his past roles as the former acting Youth chief and former deputy chief.
Fadillah, also Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, told the audience that the government has many programmes including Youth Parliament for youths to mould them as future leaders of the country.
The other guests at the dinner included PBB Youth deputy chief Daniel Jubang Kanyan, its Kuching zone chief Wan Hamzah Wan Paie and organising chairman Irwan Zulkarnain Hasbi.
