SRI AMAN: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Bukit Begunan has launched its Operations Room in preparation for the next state election.
PKR vice president Ali Biju officiated at its opening at a restaurant near here on Friday night.
Ali, who is also Saratok MP, said after successfully taking over Putrajaya in the 14th general election, Pakatan Harapan (PH) was determined to capture Sarawak in the next state election.
He said the target was set to facilitate the new government to coordinate development for Sarawak.
“PKR members need to work harder and serve the people from now on and do not wait when it comes to the elections to do so.
“We take pride in the branches and at all levels, we keep the people and their people as if we are to face the election now,” he said.
Also present were Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin, Sri Aman parliamentary PKR coordinator Norina Umoi Utot, PKR Batang Lupar branch chairman Abang Zulkifli Abang Engkeh, PKR Sri Aman branch chairman Yen Jebeni, Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sri Aman branch chairman Leon Donald as well as well as 1,200 PKR members from 14 branches.
Ali said there were positive indicators among the people of Sarawak who wanted a change in leadership in the state government.
“If PH is capable of forming a new government at the federal level, it is not impossible for the same to happen in Sarawak in the next state election.
Meanwhile, Sri Aman PKR coordinator Norina expressed confidence at capturing Bukit Begunan in the next state election.
Norina said the PKR Sri Aman branch was now ready to face the next state election.
“We are getting ready for it and in terms of machinery, I am confident it is ready to move anytime,” she said.
She explained that despite losing in the 13th and 14th General Elections, she would continue to fight for the rights and needs of the people here.
“I’ve twice contested in the Sri Aman parliamentary constituency and Simanggang state seat but lost in both. I’m not giving up hope yet,” she added.
