Posted on April 3, 2012, Tuesday

KUCHING: The Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB)’s Youth movement have been told to be more vocal and aggressive to help the party and Barisan Nasional win big in the coming general election.

Rousing them was supreme council member Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, who on Sunday night said it was not late for the PBB Youth to go all out in cyberspace to reach out to voters.

“The cyberspace is still our weak area. But we cannot continue to be steps behind our opponents. We should be putting in more effort in the ‘cyber war’ because the young people are often on the Internet and that is where we can get close to them.

“In this ‘battle’, the members of our Youth movement must not be afraid, and they must be ready to face off with PKR and DAP though they may seem to be more aggressive in their approach,” he said at the PBB Youth Chief Football Challenge Trophy prize presentation.

Believing the election could be called anytime soon, he reminded PBB Youth movement of the big role to play to ensure victory for the party and BN.

“I believe the election could be within the next two to three months. Even the prime minister said the election is near. We must know our roles, come the battle in the election. This coming election will be very tough because we not only want a win, but to win in a big way especially in PBB seats,” said the Youth Development Assistant Minister.

Also present was PBB Youth chief Datuk Fadillah Yusof who is the incumbent MP for Petra Jaya.

Harus berani depani pelbagai cabaran lebih-lebih lagi guna ruang siber untuk dekati pengundi

KUCHING: Pergerakan Pemuda Parti Pesaka Bumi-putera Bersatu (PBB) perlu bertindak lebih agresif membantu jentera parti dan Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13 (PR13U).

Ahli Majlis Tertinggi PBB Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata, Pemuda PBB harus berani mendepani pelbagai cabaran lebih-lebih lagi menggunakan ruang siber untuk mendekati para pengundi.

“Kita perlu akui penggunaan ruang siber masih lemah dan kita tidak harus menoleh ke belakang untuk berdepan dengan musuh kita.

“Justeru, kita perlu melaku-kan usaha yang lebih drastik dengan menggunakan ‘perang siber’ kerana golongan muda ternyata cenderung menggunakan Internet dan ini membolehkan kita dapat mendekati mereka,” katanya berucap pada majlis penyampaian hadiah Kejohanan Bola Sepak Piala Ketua Pemuda PBB Negeri di sini malam Ahad lalu.

Abdul Karim menarik perhatian bahawa dalam ‘perang siber’, ahli-ahli pergerakan Pemuda tidak perlu takut dan mereka harus bersedia untuk menghadapi cabaran pihak pembangkang.

Beliau yang juga Menteri Muda Perumahan dan Menteri Muda Belia berkata, pembangkang seperti PKR dan DAP mungkin agak agresif dalam pendekatan mereka justeru kita (PBB) harus lebih agresif.

“Saya percaya Pilihan Raya Umum mungkin dalam tempoh terdekat, justeru kita mesti tahu peranan kita dalam menghadapi pilihan raya itu nanti.
