  • Vote Buying Will Be Rampant, Says Sarawak PKR Malaysiakini.Com April 4, 2013 by Dukau Papau
    Vote buying will be rampant, says Sarawak PKR MalaysiaKini.com April 4, 2013 By Dukau Papau Sarawak PKR expects millions of ringgit to be poured in certain constituencies where its candidates are popular, to influence voters against them. "I anticipate a lot of cash will be distributed not only in Saratok, Lubok Antu, Baram, but also in Limbang and other constituencies where we are very strong," said Baru Bian, state PKR chairperson after a state PKR committee meeting. Bian (right), the Ba'Kelalan state assemblyperson, alleged this was his experience in the last state election in his constituency. "They came in the middle of the night and offered RM1,000 to RM2,000 to each voter to go for a BN candidate. "This time around, BN will definitely pour millions of ringgit to ensure our candidates are defeated." PKR is particularly strong in Saratok, Baram, Lubok Antu, Limbang and Selangau. Bian will contest in Limbang. "PKR has no financial resources and we depend on good Samaritans. "What we can offer to the people is our policy which is contained in our manifesto. Our policy will give people hope." He urged them to compare and review BN's policies in the last 50 years and look at the Pakatan manifesto and policies, as well as assess states run by Pakatan in the last five years. "I believe the people will make a wise decision," Bian added. Not bought over Meanwhile, Bian strongly denied that PKR potential candidates Antu Nicholas Bawin for Lubok, and Joshua Jabeng for Selangau, have been bought over by Sarawak Workers Party (SWK).
