KUCHING: The High Court's decision in declaring that the Election Commission's (EC) delineation exercise notice as null and void will not affect the State Barisan Nasional's (BN) preparation for the state election.
State BN secretary-general Datuk Dr. Stephen Rundi Utom stated this when asked by the media yesterday.
"It won't affect us. As far as we are concerned, whether it is 71 or 82 state constituencies, it doesn't matter. We are committed to serve the people, we are here to serve and fulfil what we have promised to the people," he said, commenting on the High Court's decision in declaring the Election Commission's delineation exercise as null and void.
Dr Rundi, who is also Assistant Minister of Youth Development (Rural), said the matter was between EC and the court.
"For us, if EC wants to appeal, it is up to them. But I think they will make the right decision on this. So I believe they know what to do. We have nothing to do with EC," he said.
Meanwhile, Datuk Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Assistant Minister for Youth Development (Urban) said: "It doesn't matter whether it is 71 or 82, we are prepared."
On 15 May, Kuching High Court Judge Datuk Yew Hen Kie ordered the EC to republish its notice to re-delineate the state's electoral boundaries, under Schedule 13 of the Federal Constitution.
Dr. Rundi and Abdul Karim were accompanying Minister of Social Development Tan Sri William Mawan in a courtesy call on Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Haji Adenan Satem at his office at Wisma Bapa Malaysia, yesterday to brief the latter on the State Youth Day celebrations to be held in Bintulu from 10 to 14 June.
Also present was Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Social Development Kameri Affandi.
