Kampung Gita Ceramah-Our Report

A huge crowd of more than 5000 turned up at a “Meet the People Session” at Kampung Gita where Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim the de facto leader of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)  spoke last night in the Malay majority areas encircling the Sarawak State seats of Tupong(N6), Semariang(N7) and Satok(N8). These 3 areas are represented by 3 PBB incumbents namely Dato Haji Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg (State Housing Minister-Satok), Datuk Haji Daud Abdul Rahman (Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office-Tupong) and YB Sahrifah Hasidah bte Sayeed Aman (ADUN Semariang).

According to a PBB member a lot of people were curious and were there to pick up on anything that is new on “Where and What?”  Dato Seri Anwars Keadilan can offer to the Malays in these constituencies.  A strong statement which Anwar focus is on the General Economics for the Rakyat  ”Should we form the government we will bring down the oil prices? Malaysia produces enough and why should we buy from outside”. Our economy will be able to sustain the outside market forces which has hit hard on the wage earners.

Will the Voters in the Malay Majority areas buy that? I was told once by the Housing Minister that his voters in his area(10835) are more concerned about market forces affecting their daily lives than development promises. The Minister said at one ceramah a voter even asked him about the “Stock Exchange.”

Goes to show that we live in an era where voters in our areas know what they want. PBB and Parti Keadilan you will have to “Work Hard” to win these seats come 2011…..
