KUCHING, Oct 17: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Information chief Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah has rejected the notion of “white”, “grey” and “black” seats in the coming Sarawak election, saying Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) must treat every constituency as important and ensure voters are represented by the best possible candidates.

He said the coalition could not afford to take any seat for granted, regardless of how confident it might be of winning it.

“We should not say this is a white seat, this is a grey seat or this is a black seat. Every seat is important. We cannot take chances. Even if some people say, ‘You could put up a cow’s picture and still win.’ No, we must respect the voters and their judgement. They deserve the best elected representatives,” he told reporters at a press conference after officiating DayakDaily’s Sarawak Folklore Writing Competition Awards Ceremony at Imperial Hotel here today.
