Sibu By-Election 2010

The War for Kampua Town Has Begun

I got so much free time to do this ;p

The death of the late Datuk Robert Lau Hoi Chew has created a vacant post for the Sibu parliamentary. With a by-election in hand to fill the post, 3 sides are now vying for supremacy. With Anwar Ibrahim from PKR and our PM Najib for the BN side flown in to oversee their candidates and campaigns (plus extra 2,000 police personnel flown in to bolster security), Sibu is now a political hotspot with candidates working their best to fish for the people's votes.

The 3 parties are:
Barisan Nasional's (National Front) Sarawak United Progressive Party (SUPP)
Candidate: Robert Lau Hui Yew (aka Robert Lau Jr.)











Pakatan Rakyat's (People's Alliance) Democratic Action Party (DAP)
Candidate: Richard Wong Ho Leng













Bebas (Independent)
Candidate: Narawi Harun











They have until May 17th to convince the people to vote for them, as the polling day would be on May 18th, Tuesday. If you are eligible voters, go out and vote! Oh and don't forget to share some snapshot of how the campaign is going :)

Some more common scene at Sibu right now:
