KUCHING, Oct 22: Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian has signalled his intention to defend the Batu Kawah seat in the 13th Sarawak Election (PRN13), saying he has no reason to move to another constituency as long as voters continue to support him.
When asked whether he would defend Batu Kawa or move to another constituency in the coming election, Dr Sim said his decision would depend on whether residents wanted him to continue representing them.
“There’s no reason why I need to move away from Batu Kawa, if people in Batu Kawa want me,” he told reporters at the Stampin Resettlement Scheme Flood Mitigation Project site in Jalan Stampin Baru here today.
He said he often asked residents whether Batu Kawa was better than it was 10 years ago, and whether they wanted it to improve further over the next five years.
