Zahid Promised More Funds if BN Wins Big

The federal government today pledged to provide more funds for the development of Sarawak if the BN leadership of Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem win big in the coming state election.

"This is a continuation of the leadership of Tun Taib Mahmud, who during his long period of leadership, Tok Nan (Adenan) can do the same even though not much better either.

"But I'm sure because of his relationship both with Putrajaya, the federal government, with the prime minister, even my own, I would help my best in terms of provisions to further develop Sarawak if he can vote a lot," said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Zahid made that promise during his speech at the people session in Kampung Masjid, Balingian, Mukah, today attended by over 500 people.

Also present were Mukah MP, Datuk Seri Muhammad Leo Toyad and the BN candidate for the Legislative Assembly (DUN) Balingian, Abdul Yakub Arbi.

Zahid also handed out RM600,000 federal funds for village development and security committee (JKKK) in 86 longhouses in Balangian.

He also promised to tackle the problem menadaptkan locals such as clean water, better drainage, road construction and a high school that was promised by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the 2013 general election.
