Hasbi: EC fully prepared to face possibility of flooding
LIMBANG: The Election Commission (EC) is fully prepared to face the possibility of flooding on polling day today to ensure voters, especially those in the rural areas, are able to fulfil their responsibility as citizens, said Datuk Hasbi Habibollah.
The Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) Limbang candidate said as such the people must go out and vote. He said the EC will monitor and be ready for various possibilities, including floods, with the help of various other agencies.
“Indeed, we can see that many areas, especially in the interior, have been cut off due to floods. However, this is just temporary and should not be the reason for us not to go out to vote,” he said when met here. Hasbi pledged that the state government and EC are well prepared to cope with the weather conditions.
“Looking at the current weather condition and forecast, it is not a surprise to find out that polling stations will be flooded with some even having to be moved depending on the situation.
“However, do not worry as I am sure the government and the SPR (EC) will monitor the situation not only in Limbang or Sarawak but the whole country,” he added.
