Former chief minister Yong Teck Lee says top on the minds of Sabahans is Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng’s announcement of RM2.28 billion worth of development funds for Sandakan four days before nomination day.
According to Lim, the council, which wiil come up with an integrated plan to revive the town, will be led by Vivian, if she wins by a big margin. “How else does Lim expect a new, backbencher MP to have the influence needed to convince other ministers to mobilise government departments to design new policies and to gain the confidence of the business community?” he said in a statement today.
Yong also told PH to get down to work immediately and not offer any excuses after the win in Sandakan, saying the people expected all the “fantastic promises” made to be fulfilled without any delay. “Therefore, it is long overdue for the finance minister to fulfil his promise to Sabahans to return to Sabah the tax revenues collected in Sabah and 20% of oil royalties,” he said.
This vote-majority for Vivian was higher than the victory achieved by her late father, Stephen Wong, registered in the May 9 general polls last year, when he defeated Lim Ming Hoo by 10,098 votes to become MP.Meanwhile, Guan Eng, in a statement, said DAP was shocked by the landslide victory in Sandakan, adding despite a steep 18% drop in the voter turnout in this by-election compared to GE14, Vivian still created history with the largest winning majority in Sandakan electoral history.
That is NOT how you train the next generation of so-called people’s representatives - by treating them as elitist. She wants focking respect and experience? Earn it the hard ways.
Uncle Yong.. What is your problem since you are not her supporter. Go and work within your political party.
Kepo si
This fool is talking through his arse 👿
