“We have to work hard and we had always reminded our representatives that they much work hard in the constituencies they are representing and the same applied to the two constituencies (Bengoh and Opar),” he said.
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.
“Anyway I also would like to urge the people in the two constituencies to be patience because not all projects and problems could be implemented and solved at one time,” he added.
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.
“It is not true at all because our party is multi-racial party and we serves all communities regardless of race, religion and the area,” he added.
Sim was asked to comment on the grudges of the Bidayuh in seats which is represented by the party.
SUPP have two State Assembly seats in the Bidayuh majority areas, namely Bengoh and Opar and one Parliamentary seat of Serian.
Dr Jerip Susil and Ranum Mina is the Bengoh and Opar State Assemblymen respectively while Datuk Richard Riot is the Member Parliament for Serian. Richard has been appointed as the Deputy Foreign Minister.
On whether Dr Jerip and Ranum would be re-nominated to defend their respective seat in the forthcoming state election, Sim said at the moment both are in the list.
He however did not ruled out last minute changes, adding that the party wants only winnable candidates.
There has been guessing game with regard to Dr Jerip candidacy as many aspiring candidates In Bengoh has indicated their interest to be nominated to replace Dr Jerip.
