Don’t waste your time, Bario youths tell opposition

Posted on March 17, 2011, Thursday

MIRI: The Youth bureau of JKKK Bario has advised the opposition to abandon their plans of conquering the Kelabit highlands.

Its chief Leju Balang, 46, said his people were all for the Barisan Nasional to continue to champion their cause

“We totally reject PKR here,” Leju said when contacted in Bario yesterday.

He pointed out that the opposition had brought nothing to Bario all these years.

But the BN had brought in economic developments and had long-term plans for Bario and Ba Kelalan.

“The BN government has improved the lifestyles of the Kelabit. We still need the BN. The opposition should stop wasting their time campaigning here.”

Sharing the same views is Peter Matu, 45.

He claimed that 97 per cent of the Kelabits in Bario were all for the BN.

He pointed out that currently under progress in Bario were an airport, clinic and a concrete road linking Bario Asal to the airport.

“We would like to thank the BN government for its sincerity toward the people.”

Its treasurer Douin Madang, 42, from Para Mapuh Bawah, Bario, also said the opposition had done nothing for Bario.
