Lo: I’ll carry on the good work of my predecessors
NEWLY-APPOINTED Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang has pledged to serve everyone fairly, regardless of race or religion.
“As politicians, we’re here to serve the people and the council is here to serve the people, particularly the less fortunate,” said the 50-year-old engineer and MPP councillor minutes after Deputy Chief Minister and SUPP president Tan Sri Dr George Chan announced the appointment in Kuching.
Lo said he would do his best and carry on the good work of previous chairman who had done a lot for the council and people,” he said when contacted yesterday, .
He said the appointment meant a lot to him as he practically “grew up” with MPP, starting his engineering career with the council, previously known as Kuching Rural District Council.
Lo first served as a councillor for MPP between 1992 and 1997, and returned to serve again in 2009.
He hoped his chairmanship would serve as a platform to help SUPP to regain some lost ground among voters during the 2006 state election where the party lost eight seats to opposition and independent candidates.
“We hope to win back their confidence,” he said.
Lo graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Glasgow University, Scotland in 1983. He is the managing director of Jurutera CMP (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd.
He joined SUPP in 1984 and currently is the party’s Sentosa branch secretary. Among others, he is the advisor to Lo Clan Association Kuching, Min Lit Batu Kawa Secondary School, Batu Kawa Chung Hua Primary School and Chung Hua Primary School 4 1/2 Mile Penrissen Road.
Lo is a member of Institute of Engineers Malaysia and has served as its treasurer for Sarawak branch from 2002 until this year.
Lo is married to Margaret Lim and they have two children.
