Sarawak state election: PBB will be fielding two or three young candidates

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) will be fielding two or three young candidates in the coming state election.

Sarawak Chief Minister and PPB president Tan Sri Adenan Satem said Gerald Rental would replace his father Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Alfred Jabu for the Layar seat while Fazruddin Abdul Rahman would replace Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Office (Islamic Affairs) Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman for the Tupong seat.

Adenan, who is also state Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, announced this when speaking at the "PBB Youth with Tok Nan" event at the Lundu Mini Stadium here today.

He said he would announce the name of another candidate soon.

Meantime, Adenan said he wanted a big mandate from the people of Sarawak in election so that he could continue his struggle for the people of Sarawak.

Adenan also reminded voters to come out to vote and not to be overly confident of the BN candidates' chances to win, especially voters in the Tanjong Datu seat where he would be contesting.

Works Minister-cum-PBB Youth chief Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who also spoke during the gathering, said that the PBB Armada Tour would start in Tanjong Datu until Lawas to ensure a big win for Barisan Nasional in the election.
