“I told everybody that once the candidate is finalised, announced and signs the watikah (appointment letter), everybody should stand behind the candidate,” he said.
“Just like what our Premier said, we must do our part for Sarawak to ensure a stable government.”
Dr Sim who is Deputy Premier said this to the media after the Padungan arch light switching ceremony on Sunday evening (Oct 30).
