KUCHING: Barisan Nasional candidates, Datuk Dr. Sim Kui Hian (Stampin) and Kho Teck Wan (Bandar Kuching) were cheered on by a huge crowd at the public talk organised by the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) at Trinity Hub here on Sunday night.
Sim outlined what he would do if he was voted as the Stampin Member of Parliament.
The Local Government and Housing Minister and Batu Kawa State Assemblyman said the government always had the people’s interest at heart. He said he would definitely improve the living standard of residents in the constituency if elected.
“It is the BN’s aspiration that development projects are implemented in the three state constituencies of Kota Sentosa, Batu Kitang and Batu Kawah under the Stampin parliamentary constituency.
He wanted to see the building of more affordable homes, more flood mitigation projects, better infrastructure, education and more economic activities for the betterment of each household.
Sim also touched on the good policies of the late Chief Minister, Pehin Sri Adenan Satem who had given the Sarawak people a lesson on what autonomy was all about. He added that to gain back what belonged to Sarawak, the voters must choose SUPP, a Sarawak based party.
There is a straight fight between Sim and Sarawak Democratic Action Party (DAP) Chairman, Chong Chieng Jen in Stampin.
Meanwhile, Bandar Kuching candidate, Kho Teck Wan said she was from Sg. Apong. She said she witnessed how her mother, who had a humble beginning, helped the poor around her. Her mother would help the poor people apply for land and scholarships.
Kho said it was then that she realised one must be with the government in order to assist the people to improve their lives.
Bandar Kuching, she added, had been under the opposition for over 14 years and there had not much development.
Calling the Kuching voters to join hands with her to build a stronger economy for Bandar Kuching, Kho said she would also look into the development and flood problems besides building a brighter future for the city.
Other speakers included Tnay Li Ping, Michael Tiang and Milton Foo.
