KAPIT: Continued cooperation among Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties here is vital to ensure the coalition score a thumping victory in the coming state election and prevent the opposition from winning any seat.
A Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) supreme council member Datuk Kristoffer Nyuak, in acknowledging the current good esprit de corps among them, said BN could not afford to rest on its laurels and should constantly work hard.
“Although we do not know when the state election will be held, we should always be ready to face the opposition and counter any issues they may raise,” he said when met after a pre-National Day gathering at his residence at Jalan Selirik here recently.
The gathering was attended by about 300 people including Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi, community leaders, senior government officers and leaders of non-governmental organisations (NGO) here.
Nyuak, a potential BN candidate described as likeable by many, advised the rakyat here to support BN in order to enjoy greater development and progress.
“Many big and small projects are being planned by the BN government for the betterment of the people of Kapit and the surrounding areas.
“To ensure they are implemented smoothly and unimpeded, the BN government needs the people’s support,” he stressed, adding the projects included infrastructure and basic amenities for the masses.
In his speech at the gathering, Nyuak thanked all those present and said the gathering served as a platform for them to enhance their ties for the common good of all.
Later, he presented personal donations ranging from RM1,000 to RM5,000 to various NGOs here.
Among the recipients were Kapit Lions Club, JKKK of Nanga Engkatit, Yong, and Kelab Sukan Rekreasi Bermotosikal Terasang Kapit.
He also made a donation for a Lions Club colouring contest.
Nyuak, who has been travelling extensively in Pelagus constituency to visit various longhouses and settlements there, said: “I’m seriously considering to contest in the coming state election. I’ve visited various places and the people have responded positively.
“They want me to contest and wrest the seat from the opposition,” he said.-Borneo Post
