KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans voting in the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state by-elections should support the candidates from the unity government, says Datuk Peter Anthony.
The Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat president urged them to reject the sentiments of race and religion being played up by the opposition Perikatan Nasional during the run up to the by-elections on Saturday ."I believe that they are wise to choose and certainly want a leader who is not from the party that often plays up 3R issues ," he said in a statement on Friday .
He was also confident that Sabahans voting in the two seats would not be influenced by such sentiments. Anthony also said it was important to improve the welfare and socio-economic conditions of the people in the two areas and this could best be done if their elected representatives were part of the government.
"Support the government candidate for the sake of political stability and economic recovery of the country," he added.
