MARUDI: A huge crowd of supporters wearing red jerseys gave an overwhelming welcome to Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) Chairman Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, as he inaugurated PSB Long Sepilling at the Tinjar Baram branch yesterday.
They even had a caravan to take the president of the PSB to the branch premises.
In his speech, Wong, who is a Bawang Assan Assemblyman, appealed to Marudi voters to support PSB candidate Datuk Sylvester Entri in the upcoming state elections.
Wong said voting for PSB is akin to giving voters a chance for change, in order to pave the way for PSB to bring hope to voters in Marudi.
He said that Entri, who had served as an assistant minister and has his support base in Marudi, is a capable and approachable leader.
Wong said the PSB is a locally based multiracial political party that has no connection to any political alliance based on the peninsula.
He added that PSB is more independent when it comes to fighting for the interests and rights of the people of Sarawak to ensure that no ethnic group is left out.
If PSB is given the mandate to govern Sarawak after the next state elections, Wong is committed to improving rural infrastructure in the shortest time possible.
He said that priority will be given to building roads to improve rural connectivity and equip all rural households with electricity and water supplies, and Internet services.
“Our rural communities will no longer have to wait years to enjoy facilities such as roads, electricity and water,” he added.
