We’ll uncover which two seats PDP is lobbying for – Masing
We (PRS) will find out which seats they are lobbying for, and why.
KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak ( PRS) president Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing says the party will find out exactly which two seats the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) is lobbying for.
“We ( PRS) will find out which seats they are lobbying for, and why,” Masing told a press conference yesterday after launching the state’s first CRRC electric city bus at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching ( BCCK), representing Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He was asked to comment on PDP’s meeting in Bintulu on Sunday, where party president Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing said the party was lobbying for two additional seats, but declined to reveal exactly which ones. Tiong said the two new seats would be pursued

Masing, who is Deputy Chief Minister, also wondered why PDP wanted the two additional seats.
“Why are they eyeing them, what are the reasons behind it, and do those seats belong to them and were they there before?” Masing, who is also Minister of Infrastructure Development and Transportation, asked.
The PDP meeting on Sunday also saw the party staking claim on its three traditional seats of Ba Kelalan, Bekenu and Batu Danau, which were contested under a Barisan Nasional direct ticket.
PDP currently holds three state seats - Tasik Biru, Meluan and Marudi.
