(Kuching, 10th) Sarawak's Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) stated that it is ready at any time to respond to all possibilities regarding the establishment of new state assembly seats in Sarawak.
PBB Treasurer-General Datuk Abdul Rahman Junaidi pointed out that the party will accept any formal decision soon to be made by the government and the Election Commission.
He said: "No matter the circumstances, we will abide by any decision made by the government, especially the Election Commission. The PBB committee is always ready to deal with such matters." He made these comments when interviewed by the media after attending the Sarawak Governor's Ramadan Bazaar and the launching ceremony of the illuminated pedestrian bridge in Sarawak on Monday.
When asked if his constituency would be split to set up a new state seat, as the assemblyman for Pantai Damai, he stated that he would accept this decision.
He said: "If the Election Commission decides that the Pantai Damai constituency, which currently has about 40,000 voters, needs to be split into two, then so be it."
Earlier, online news portal DayakDaily reported that a leaked document showed that Sarawak is planning to add 17 new state assembly seats, including splitting the Pantai Damai constituency into two parts.
According to the document, there is a proposal to set up a new seat, named Segian, under the Santubong parliamentary seat.
According to the plan, the Pantai Damai state seat, which currently covers an area of 373 square kilometers and has 39,943 voters, is expected to undergo major adjustments.
However, Abdul Rahman pointed out that this news is still a rumor and is pending official confirmation.
