ASAJAYA: Para penyokong Barisan Nasional diingatkan agar tidak mengambil mudah pilihanraya negeri Sarawak walaupun DUN Asajaya dilihat sebagai kawasan putih.

Ketua Cawangan PBB Asajaya Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata walaupun tanggapan bahawa Barisan Nasional akan menang di DUN Asajaya menggembirakan, tetapi pada masa yang sama ia juga membimbangkan kerana ia boleh menyebabkan ramai pengundi enggan turun mengundi disebabkan mereka merasakan Barisan Nasional pasti menang.

Beliau berkata, ketika berucap di Majlis Jelajah Jalinan Mesra N15 Asajaya di Kampung Tambirat petang tadi, sebaliknya para pengundi DUN Asajaya seharusnya melihat tanggapan tersebut sebagai dorongan untuk memberi kemenangan yang bergaya kepada Barisan Nasional.

Abdul Karim menambah kemenangan dengan majoriti yang besar hanya akan dapat dicapai sekiranya semua penyokong Barisan Nasional keluar mengundi.

Beliau berkata sekiranya dapat dilakukan, ia akan memberi mesej yang amat jelas kepada pihak pembangkang bahawa warga DUN Asajaya menolak kehadiran mereka.

PRK Balingian: ‘Wish of local voters taken into account in selection of candidate’

March 11, 2014

SIBU: The requests, wishes and aspirations of local voters and grassroots leaders will be taken into account when PBB selects its candidate for the Balingian by-election.

However, it would be up to the party’s top leadership to make the final decision, said PBB supreme council member Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah yesterday.

He was responding to news report that the Youth and Women wings of PBB Balingian wished to see a young candidate.

“The Youth and Women wings of PBB Balingian has got every right to express their desire and aspiration on who the party candidate should be but the final say will come from the party’s top leadership who when coming to a decision, will take into account all requests, wishes and aspiration of local voters including

grassroots leaders,” the Assistant Minister of Youth Development and Asajaya assemblyman said.

Balingian Saberkas branch secretary Royston Valentine reportedly said although young people might be lacking in experience it would not be a big problem as they could learn from those who were experienced.

Royston also said younger people were more energetic and aggressive in carrying out their duties if they were given the opportunity to hold the post and could influence other youthful citizens.
