GEDONG: The sleepy hollow of Gedong has come to life as election fever swept across the small commune located some 85km away from Kuching.

The 12th Sarawak election has thrown Gedong under the spotlight as Gabungan Parti Sarawak chairman Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is the ruling coalition’s candidate for the seat.

The others on the ballot are Mohamad Sofian Fariz Sharbini of Parti Sarawak Bersatu , Kamal Bujang of Parti Amanah Negara and Tomson Ango of Parti Bumi Kenyalang . As the Election Commission has banned gatherings or processions during nomination day due to Covid-19, a police drone with a loudspeaker was dispatched to warn supporters to adhere to physical distancing rules.

“Everything has been orderly. This proves democracy is alive. I hope the next few days of the campaigning period will see all parties adhering to the SOP,” he said. “I need to defend Gedong from falling into the hands of an outsider. I am a Gedong local and have lived here all my life. I have seen too many unsolved problems here and I want to raise this,” said Mohamad Sofian, who lives in Kampung Kanchong.
