DAP Launches Manifesto for Sibu By-Election

The Sarawak DAP today launched its manifesto for the Sibu parliamentary by-election which touches among other things the issue of employment in the state.

Its candidate Wong Ho Leng, who launched the manifesto here, claimed that there were not enough jobs for the state's youths, forcing them to seek employment elsewhere.

He also listed seven other agenda including a promise to solve Sibu's perennial flood problems within two years.

Wong said the party would invest in human capital and infrastructure to make the town a hub for shipping industry, marine engineering and tourism.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is DAP secretary-general, was among those present.

The by-election on May 16 will see a three-way fight between Barisan Nasional's Robert Lau Hui Yew, Wong and independent candidate Narawi Haron.
