Give change a chance, Dr Wan Azizah implores Sarawak voters

-

MARUDI: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Advisory Council chairwoman Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is calling on Sarawakian­s to vote for change this coming election by voting for Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Dr Wan Azizah said that Sarawakian­s have been under the leadership of the previous government for decades, but nothing much has changed.

“Give a chance for change. I look (at the) surroundin­gs and I see that these situations (in rural Sarawak) especially need to be defended.

“Sarawakian­s are the ones that make the decision, not me, because we are only supporting,” she said after a walkabout at Rh Gudang here yesterday.

She pointed out that some areas were affected by floods every year, which may be caused by logging activities.

Therefore, she said PH would look for solutions as some areas experience up to 10 times flooding annually.

“We want to find solutions for this issue, as it is important for the lives of the ordinary people as well as the future of Sarawak,” she said.

On her visit to Marudi, Dr Wan Azizah said that it was her first time coming here for campaignin­g. “I came here today to give moral support to our candidates Roland Engan, who is standing in Mulu, and Elias Lipi in Marudi,” she said.

Earlier, the entourage visited Rh Judan Dabai before going to Rh Kiam Ujai in Logan Entassan as well as a walkabout at Marudi Bazaar.

PKR is contesting in all three rural seats under the Baram parliament­ary constituen­cy, namely Marudi, Telang Usan and Mulu.

Aside from Roland and Elias, PKR is fielding Philip Jau in Telang Usan.
