“Rural people are still hungry for development and they trust that only BN can bring development to them.
“That is the mood and perception in the villages and BN can only lose by default if the candidate is not good and not wanted by the peo
ple, if the incumbent has a bad record of not helping the people or are careless and take thing easy,” said Minos in an interview today.
He said the rural people actually have no problem with BN, adding that between BN and PKR majority of them will go for BN.
“I will vote BN no matter what because it has been proven that BN makes good government,” he added.
Minos said among the four BN’s component parties in Sarawak – Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP), Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) and Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) PBB is the most united and solid and is very will led by a capable president.
“PBB, SPDP and PRS will be alright but the worry is SUPP because past trend shows that supp will not face easy time.
“Supp must treat its Bumiputera voters happy and treat them well in practice. Words only is not good enough. Supp must solve the many problems in Opar and Bengoh constituencies,” he stressed.
Opar and Bengoh are the two Bidayuh seats represented by SUPP, apart from Serian Parliamentary seat.
Ranum Mina and Dr Jerip Susil are the representatives for Opar and Bengoh respectively while Datuk Richard Riot is the Member of Parliament for Serian.
Minos said SUPP must solve the many land problems in both Opar and Bengoh before the election.
He said many big villages like Kampung Stenggang want SUPP to act and help, and do it fast.
“SUPP must not pretend that the problem does not exist. Supp must also sort out and help those affected by the Bengoh Dam in Bengoh.
“Make them happy, re-locate them fast and the Bidayuh in Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) area still want a Bidayuh to become chairman of MPP, which was pending since 1963,” said Minos who is also chairman of the Bung Bratak Heritage Association.
The former president of Dayak Bidayuh National Association (DBNA) also pointed out that many villages in Bengoh are without treated water and electricity, the problem which SUPP must immediately help to solve.
“SUPP should not just say it is a multi-racial, fair and just to all but must also be seen and actually be so to the Bidayuh in Opar and Bengoh who wanted to be treated fairly and justly and not shabbily,” he stressed.
“How to sell SUPP if the people and voters are not happy with them if SUPP is not solving the people problems?” he asked.
In an interview with The Star recently SUPP secretary general Datuk Amar Sim Khen Hui said he did not agree with the statement that the party has neglected the Bidayuh in Bengoh and Opar constutencies, but promised it will better its services to the Bidayuh community.
He said the party leadership had always reminded its representatives hat they much work hard in the constituencies they are representing and the same applied to Opar and Bengoh.
He agreed that there are certain issues and projects which could not be solved and implemented during the present term, but said the party leadership will look into it in the next term.
He also quashed allegations that SUPP is only concentrating in solving the issues in urban areas and among the Chinese community but not its seat in the urban areas and the other communities.
There has been guessing game with regard to Dr Jerip candidacy as many aspiring candidates in Bengoh had indicated their interest to be nominated to replace Dr Jerip.
Meanwhile when asked to comment on Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman’s statement, Minos said if what Daud said was true, it is not right for anyone to bluff or lie to the Prime Minister.
He said only the non-effective and careless State Assemblyman will lie of their chances.
“That the big trouble with some BN’s MP and ADUN, they do anything to hang on including lying, bluffing, selling and dropping Prime Minister, Chief Minister and ministers names.
“They are the rotten apples in BN and BN must not rope them in because they are dark spots in BN,” said Minos.
