SIBU: A vote for Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Robert Lau Hui Yew in the Sibu by-election is a vote of support for the good leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, said Deputy Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum.
He said the by-election on May 16 was yet another opportunity for Sarawak longhouse folks to express their support for Najib. Salang said this at a “meet-the-people” session at the Rh. James Sembilan Guang longhouse in Bawang Assan near here Monday night.
He said Najib deserved all the support he needed as he was still in the process of transforming the government and the country. Najib was also trying to change the country into a high income society from its current middle income status, he said, adding that longhouse folks should not allow themselves to be easily swayed by the opposition’s instigations and promises as they did not have any concrete programmes to help them.
He thus advised Sibu voters to turn out in full force on polling day (May 16) to cast their votes and give the BN a resounding victory.
Meanwhile, Salang said the government would look into improving communication links in the Bawang Assan area.
“We may set up a community broadband centre and “wifi” village in the SMK Bawang Assan for instance,”he said, adding that they were required as the area now had a sizeable population with eight longhouses and two schools. The Sibu by-election is seeing a three-way fight between Lau, the DAP’s Wong Ho Leng and independent candidate Narawi Haron.
