S'WAK POLLS DAP’s Sarawak election campaign of is finally gaining momentum with a total of over 6,000 people turning up at their Saturday ceramah in three major towns, Kuching, Sibu and Miri.

This is seen as an encouraging development following the lacklustre response in the first five days of the opposition’s ceramah, which is a gauge of their support on the ground.

Approximately 2,300 showed up in Kuching ceramah, while 2,500 and 2,000 attended the ceramah in Sibu and Miri respectively.

The arrival of Penang chief minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng in Kuching on Friday saw over 2,000 turning up at a ceramah Jalan Tun Jugah, while a smaller crowd of 300 attended the one at Bintawa.

The roads linked to Jalan Tun Jugah were jammed with people rushing to catch sight of Lim.

Addressing the crowd, the DAP secretary-general continued to slam the 1MDB fiasco, saying people nationwide have had to bailout the Finance Ministry fund by paying its debts.

"Sarawak deserves better than that, you have vast resources but many are left in poverty," he said.

Meanwhile PKR’s ceramah at Batu 3 ½ Kuching attracted some 200 people.

Saturday night fever

1.14 million Sarawakian voters will cast their ballots the next Saturday.

Super Saturday is prime time for political parties to draw as many people as possible to their weekend ceramah.

In the central region, approximately 2,000 attended the DAP ceramah at Farley Commercial Centre, Sibu, while another ceramah in Dayak language at a coffee shop in Sibu Jaya attracted 500.

The ceramah in Sarikei's Repok, one hour’s drive from Sibu, managed to attract 1,500 and helped DAP raise RM4,715.

The event featured DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, Sarawak DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen and DAP Sarikei parliamentarian Wong Ling Biu.

Meanwhile, the DAP ceramah in Miri attracted 2,000, in contrast with the ceramah organised by Pujut Independent candidate Fong Pau Teck some 100 metres away, which attracted only 30 people.
