“This election is different and crucial for
our state as we have a visionary leader, the Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan
Sri Haji Adenan Satem, to lead us and fight for our rights. We are voting for
Sarawak’s future and we, as Sarawakians of all races should give Adenan the
support for the future of our generation,” Lo said at a political talk held at
Batu Kitang Community Hall at Jalan Batu Kitang near here Wednesday evening.
He
added that a lot had been done by Adenan in ensuring that the people would
benefit from his policies and at the same time guarding the state’s rights.
Lo
also pointed out that in his two years as the Chief Minister, 53 principles and
actions have been done by him including declaring that Bumiputeras in the state
are not classified as ‘lain-lain’ (others), declaring that Chinese are not
‘Pendatang’, free or reduced fees on electricity and ferry service, including
abolishment of toll at Lanang Bridge in Sibu, ASEAN Bridge in Miri and Tun
Salahuddin Bridge in Kuching.
“Adenan also gave a total of RM12 million to
Chinese independent schools since 2014 and the recognition of the Unified
Examination Certificate (UEC).
“Our
chief Minister has a far vision for our state and if we are all united and
choose Sarawak-based parties, it would give Adenan the power and also show that
Sarawakians are behind him.
“If
this happened, then this will sent a strong signal to the Federal government
that Adenan has the people’s mandate and they have to listen to him,” Lo said,
adding that was why in this coming election do not vote for Peninsula-based
parties.
Lo
also said that those from the Peninsula even quarreled among themselves and a
lot of issues nowadays are coming from them.
“In
Sarawak, we do not have such issues as we are a peaceful people, unlike our
counterparts from the other side, even a minor issue would lead to a street
protest,” he said.
