KUCHING, Nov 1: Pelagus incumbent Wilson Nyabong Ijang says 12 longhouse chiefs have expressed support for his renomination to defend the seat in the forthcoming Sarawak Election.

“Although the State Legislative Assembly (DUS) has been dissolved, I remain committed to serving the people of Pelagus.

“Communities continue to invite me to their longhouses, and I feel a responsibility to respond, listen to their concerns and assist wherever possible,” he said in a statement following his recent visits to Rumah Sura, Rumah Bandang and Rumah Jarop along Batang Rajang.

Wilson said the visits also provided an opportunity to share updates on matters concerning Pelagus and explain the importance of continued support for the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government.
