Karim: Baru is not CM Adenan’s level for a debate

March 8, 2014

SIBU: The government has formulated a clear policy on NCR land, hence any opposition call for debate on the matter is nothing more than a political gimmick, PBB supreme council member Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said.

He described the proposal by PKR Belaga chief Abun Sui that Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem debate with state PKR chief Baru Bian on the NCR issue as another cheap gimmick by PKR to get publicity.

“Baru is not Adenan’s level for a debate.

“Even in the State Legislative Assembly (DUN), I notice Baru has been quiet and passive. Why out of the blue this sudden challenge for a debate?” asked Abdul Karim, who is Assistant Minister of Youth Development and Asajaya assemblyman.

Abun was quoted to have said there was a need for such a debate as many people were affected by the
government policy on NCR land.

Jemoreng assemblyman Abu Seman Jahwie yesterday said the BN government, being a caring government and serious about NCR matters, has a clear policy and allocated budget to carry out the perimeter survey.

“To me there is no issue at all. It is just the opposition who are trying to rack up issues as they know land issue is central to the heart of the people.

“But people are mature and they know that it is the BN government which has continuously strived to bring betterment to them,” Abu Seman, who is a political secretary to the chief minister, said.

He concurred that the proposal to debate was only to gain political mileage.
