Taib Confirms He Will Defend Balingian Seat

MUKAH Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud confirmed Saturday that he will defend his Balingian seat in the state election.

That is why I am here, he said when approached by reporters during a visit to the PBB Balingian service centre.

Taib, who is state Barisan Nasional chairman and PBB president, said the party would field about 25 per cent new faces.

He added that the state BN was at the same time finalising its list of candidates.

Once we are done, I will meet the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) for his endorsement, maybe on April 1 or 2, he said.

On the possibility of BN fielding more women candidates, Taib said the coalition earlier had four to five individuals in mind.

But they declined due to family commitment, career consideration and other factors, he said.

Asked about incumbents who had stated their intention not to seek re-nomination, Taib said that this was a positive, democratic sign but of course no one can stay there forever.
