“Sarawakians vote for BN not because of BR1M, but because of Adenan Satem”

Several netizens also said Adenan Satem was a leader that fought for the rights of the people of Sarawak.

Inalillah. One of the few true Malaysian leaders. Pity we get to see so little of his leadership. Too little, too late.#AdenanSatem
