Calling on our Bidayuh community to work closely with us in coming state elections

I have called on our Bidayuh community to work together in winning all of the eight Bidayuh majority state seats in the coming state election due to the vote swing favouring the opposition in the last 14th General Election which was held in 2018. 

In the 2018 election, the state Barisan Nasional, which is now Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), had only managed to retain Serian but lost Puncak Borneo and Mas Gading to Pakatan Harapan (PH).

We are a bit worried as far as Bidayuh seats are concerned. Hopefully, all is well in the coming state election. Because in the last parliamentary election, two seats fell and fortunately only Serian saved us from embarrassment.

So, in the coming state election, we should work hard to ensure not just seats in the Serian Bukar Sadong areas are won, but also those seats in Bau, Lundu and Padawan are won (by GPS). We do not want the Bidayuhs to be split.

Being the vice president in Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), I have told them that it is important for the Bidayuh community in particular and Sarawakians in general to keep GPS in power to ensure continuity of development and implementation of proposed projects.

I had also warned them about those playing up racial and religious issues especially by those politicians from the Peninsular.

Please be very careful of those politicians who come over and tell you this, tell you that especially when election is coming. When it comes to election season, there will be many kinds of people. Some are like ‘langau’ (flies) who pick up on issues but leave after the election.
