Recently I have called on our community leaders to play their active role in encouraging local folks to turn up for the polling day. Being the respected public figures in their respective villages and residential areas, our Ketua Kampungs, Ketua Kaum and Pemanca possess the ability to persuade and convince local folks to perform their rights in casting votes in the coming 12th Sarawak State Elections (PRN12).
I have mentioned these during my recent engagement with over 90 community leaders who consist of our Ketua Kampungs, Ketua Kaum and Pemanca from various areas in Asajaya, Samarahan. Also present during the function was our District Officer for Asajaya, Encik Rais Bin Ahmad and Samarahan's Temenggong Haji Chek Bin Bujang. It is heartening for us to see that our community leaders are fully aware of their responsibilities towards their kampung folks especially in reminding them to give the fresh mandate to the state government with the aim to move forward with Sarawak's development agenda.
Nevertheless, I have also reminded our local folks to continue be wary on the dangers of Covid19 and therefore it is vital for all of us to always follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) when polling day is concerned. This is to avoid the virus from spreading and to expedite the election process. I have also mentioned that democracy is alive in our state and country whereby the number of candidates for the coming state elections including those from other opposing parties are expected to be large. With no physical campaigning allowed for this PRN12, I also urged our local folks to be wary and vigilant in receiving news or information via the social media which can be untrue, malicious and defamatory in nature.
