Most state and federal BN component parties have sent their own election machinery to lay a good foundation for a BN win, Mawan noted, and he believess that this will be decisive as the aforementioned machinery will not leave any stone unturned.
"Issues that are not brought up to the attention of the government will now be listened to and brought up in the open,” said Mawan to reporters at his office here yesterday.
He also mentioned that SPDP also sent their members to form a committee and also also hard at work in Balingian campaigning for BN’s Yussibnosh Balo, who is up against Abdul Jalil Bujang from PKR.
“During nomination day, SPDP flags seem to outnumber other BN component parties’. Our committees are already there, except for me personally,” said Mawan, adding that his absence during the Balingian nomination day and at Parliament sittings was due to him being under the weather.
He also took little to shoot down allegations that BN were merely fishing for votes during the by-election by granting the people’s ‘wishes’.
“These are among the risks. Nevertheless, we are in the position to give as long as it is consistent with the rules of an election.”
He noted that the Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had announced an allocation of RM79 million to build a secondary school in the Balingian sub-district and rebuild the primary school at Kampung Tellian in Mukah on Sunday.
“If it is not him (Muhyiddin) giving and improving the schools then who else?”
Meanwhile, Mawan said the meet-the-people session that was scheduled on Thursday in Balingian was postponed to Saturday. He would be visiting several areas in the vicinity.
