SIBU: The newly opened Democratic Action Party (DAP) Lanang Parliamentary Service Centre will better serve the constituents, says Lanang Member of Parliament Alice Lau Kiong Yieng.
Lau, who is also Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, expressed gratitude for the opening of her new service centre at Jalan Lanang here.
“With this new building, I hope to be able to provide better services to the people, especially the voters in the Lanang area,” she said when declaring open the Lanang Parliamentary Service Centre today.
She said that the building belonged to her father, Datuk Lau Cheng Kiong who is currently the chairman of Sibu Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Accordingly, she thanked his father for allowing her to use the building for her new service centre.
“Actually, this service centre has been operating since six months ago, but we had to postpone the opening ceremony until today due to a tight schedule,” she said.
Meanwhile, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong who was also in attendance, said that all elected representatives needed to provide sincere and honest service to the people.
He also said that the DAP leadership in Sarawak has a very meaningful role in the central government today.
“For that reason, within one month of my becoming Minister of Human Resources, one of the first things I announced was appointing (Bandar Kuching MP) Dr Kelvin Yii as my political secretary.
“This shows our commitment to be together with Sarawak as a partner in the federal government,” he said.
Also present were Minister of Science, Technology and innovation Chang Lik Kang, Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen, Senator Roderick Wong, Sibu MP Oscar Ling Chai Yew and others.
