SIBU: The State Government will continue to bring development if given the trust and full support of the people in the upcoming general election (GE14).
Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said strong unity among the state’s multi-racial society is needed to ensure a Barisan Nasional (BN) victory in GE14.
He said a strong BN victory, including in Sibu and Lanang, is crucial for the benefit of all Sarawakians.
“As we all know, the chairmen of Sarawak BN component parties are all Sarawakians, unlike opposition parties whose bosses are from outside the state,” he said.
Abg Johari was speaking at the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Sibu luncheon in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration at Sibu Civic Centre yesterday.
He stressed that development is meant for the whole of Sarawak, including Sibu.
“We have a development plan, which is to plan various forms of development for the people in the state, including Sibu and Bukit Assek.
“We will continue to implement it if the people continue to give us the trust and mandate in the upcoming GE14,” he said, receiving applause from all the guests present.
The Chief Minister’s wife, Datin Patinggi Juma’ani Tun Tuanku Bujang, Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Minister of Local Government and Housing who is also SUPP president, Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian and SUPP deputy president II, Chieng Buong Toon were among those present.
