KUCHING: Voters in Kota Samarahan are certain to show the opposition the exit door come the next general election.
Chief Political Secretary to the Chief Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said this is because Kota Samarahan is a stronghold of Barisan Nasional (BN) and will always remain that way.
“PKR, PAS, DAP or whoever are keen (to contest in Kota Samarahan) can try their luck there. We are prepared for anybody,” he said when contacted yesterday.
He said PBB was not scared by news that the opposition was keen to field its candidate there because the party had contributed a lot to the development of the parliamentary constituency.
“PKR, PAS or DAP contributed nothing to the development of Kota Semarahan except instigating the rakyat there to go against the government, creating suspicion among the races and demonising our leaders.
“The rakyat in Kota Samarahan do not welcome the opposition and come the general election, they will show the door to them,” he said.
Last Saturday, state PKR vice chief See Chee How said there was a possibility that Hussain Abang Apok, who contested under the party’s banner in the last state election, would contest in Kota Samarahan.
“So far, Kota Samarahan is a non-disputed seat (among PR coalition partners). PKR is the only party that has expressed interest to contest there,” he said recently.
