Sarawak PBB youth chief Gerald Rentap Jabu says its optimism is from the fact they have been preparing early in anticipation of GE14.
SIBU: Sarawak Barisan Nasional is confident of wresting the parliamentary seats held by the opposition, in the 14th general election (GE14).
Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Sarawak youth chief Gerald Rentap Jabu said BN’s optimism stemmed from its anticipation that GE14 would be held any time and therefore had been preparing itself much early.
“We can win. I believe we can do it. Our objective is to win because the chief minister’s (Abang Johari Tun Openg) initiative to fight for Sarawak’s rights needs a strong voice,” he told reporters after a PBB youth gathering at Taman Tasik Permai last night.
Among those present at the function were PBB vice-president Annuar Rapa’ee, who is also Sarawak Education and Technological Research Assistant Minister, and Machan assemblyman, Allan Siden Gramong, and Bukit Goram assemblyman Jefferson Jamit Ijang.
In the last general election in 2013, the opposition won six parliamentary seats in Sarawak, namely, Bandar Kuching (DAP), Stampin (DAP), Sarikei (DAP), Sibu (DAP), Lanang (DAP) and Miri (PKR).
Gerald, who is also Layar state assemblyman said he also expects GE14 to be held in May.
