PETALING JAYA: Providing affordable housing and village expansion schemes are among the pledges by Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) in its manifesto for the Jepak state by-election.
They are among the 14 main thrusts of the manifesto launched today in Bintulu.
Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) deputy president Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, who is also the coalition election director for the Jepak by-election, launched the manifesto, Bernama reported.
He said the manifesto also includes infrastructure and socioeconomic development projects for the people.
Awang Tengah said GPS will also help in the renovation and construction of longhouses.
Other offers include providing entrepreneurship training for small and medium-sized enterprises, traders and hawkers.
“This manifesto is our commitment and determination.
“This is not like the empty talk by opposition candidates.
“GPS will ensure the pledges in this manifesto are implemented as best as possible,” he said.
The Jepak state by-election will witness a three-way clash, with GPS candidate Iskandar Turkee facing Stevenson Joseph Sumbang from Parti Bumi Kenyalang and Chieng Lea Phing of Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak.
The Nov 4 by-election is being called following the death of the incumbent, Talib Zulpilip, on Sept 15. - FMT
