Rain no deterrence for SUPP supporters to attend talk
A section of the crowd listen to Dr Sim’s speech.
KUCHING: The torrential rain on Wednesday night did not deter the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) supporters from having a fun time at the site of a political talk in RPP Batu Kawah.
While the crowd sought shelter nearby and killed time with several rousing rounds of zumba and poco-poco, the crew dismantled the screen from the original outdoor setup and reassembled it to somewhere drier.
When SUPP president Dr Sim Kui Hian finally took to the makeshift stage, the passionate delivery of his message was only matched by the people who were assigned the whistles that effectively deafened everyone nearby with their enthusiasm.
Apart from rolling out facts and figures of BN development programmes and projects in Sarawak, Dr Sim also stressed a lot on restoration of the state’s rights.
“Come May 9, we want to win big so that we can take back our rights,” he said.
He also mentioned the name of former chief minister Pehin Sri Adenan Satem, drawing a lot of reaction from supporters who clearly still hold the late CM and his contributions in high regard.
“If you look around Batu Kawah now and compare it to five years ago, is there a difference?” asked Dr Sim, who is also Batu Kawah assemblyman.
Upon receiving a chorus of ‘yes’, he said the new developments was the best he could do with ‘one engine’.
“If I win the parliamentary seat, I’ll have two engines, like a Boeing aircraft. The allocation will be double.”
Dr Sim also raised a point about their mascots, saying that while bees are small, there are many of them.
“If you bother a bee hive, all the bees will come out and get you.”
SUPP assistant publicity and information secretary Lo Khere Chiang, its public complaints bureau chief Wilfred Yap and other SUPP leaders were also present.
