Lo promises to work hard
KUCHING: Lo Khere Chiang from Sarawak
United Peoples’ Party (SUPP) who was named Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for
the newly created N13 Batu Kitang seat
said he would work hard to win the seat for BN.
Batu Kitang seat is a new seat and as a new
candidate in a new constituency, Lo, 56, who is also Padawan Municipal Council
(MPP) chairman, is aware that there is a huge task head and a lot of
expectation from him but he will work hard for it.
“I
am definitely going to work hard for it and I am very confident that the rakyat
will support SUPP and the Barisan Nasional
for Batu Kitang,” he said when
met by reporters after being named
as BN’s candidate for the Batu Kitang seat by BN Sarawak’s chairman
Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Haji Adenan Satem at Wisma Bapa Malaysia here yesterday.
The other candidates from SUPP who were announced by Adenan yesterday were Peter Pau for N9 Padungan), Milton
Foo Tian Wee ( N10 Pending), Sih
Hua Tong (N11 Batu Lintang), Wilfred
Yap Yau Shin (N12 Kota Sentosa), Datuk
Dr. Sim Kui Hian (N14 Batu Kawa),
Datuk Francis Hardin Hollis (N32 Simanggang),
Chieng Buong Toon (N51 Bukit Assek), Dato’ Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew (N73 Piasau) and Datuk Lee Kim Shin (N75 Senadin).
Lo added said he had been working hard over the years and had been
observing Sarawak politics over the last two years and CM’s
style of leadership, very straight forward and a lot of things that he had done in the
interest of the rakyat apart from
championing the rights of Sarawak.
“I believe that with my years of service
and sincere work put into my constituency through MPP, and all the good things
that Adenan has done, the election this time around is very important for
Sarawakians.
“So I believe that the people of Sarawak do
not have a lot of choices; we must support Adenan leadership for the sake of
Sarawak, for the sake of our state’s economy, education, culture and for
generation beyond us, our children and our grand children,” he said.
“And I think that for this reason, I support Adenan’s
leadership, and I am going to work hard to ensure that the rakyat will receive
the message and will support the Barisan
Nasional and give Batu Kitang to Barisan Nasional in this election,” he said.
“I am very confident that the rakyat will
support SUPP and the Barisan Nasional and Adenan leadership and Adenan
Team. I am confident the community
irrespective of whether they are Ibans, Bidayuhs, Malays, Chinese and
irrespective of which sectors they are from,
everyone will support Adenan and his leadership,” he said.
Lo said Batu Kitang’s population comprised
40 per cent Bumiputeras and 60 per cent Chinese. And the issues on hands would be the normal
infrastructure issues.
“I would to say these are the normal
infrastructure issues – roads, drains, but to me these are not issues that
cannot be solved. It is a sign that our
people are progressing and the standard of living is improving and they want
something better. It is natural.
“But I believe that if we win this election
and the area comes under Barisan
Nasional and I being a civil engineer
and with the know-how in engineering, I will be able to help
the rakyat better and able to contribute
to the entire Adenan leadership and his cabinet. As a civil engineer, I
believe that I can do a lot for the people,” Lo added.
Batu Kitang state constituency has 17,000 voters comprising 60 per cent Chinese
and 40 per cent Bumiputera.
