MIRI: Five incumbents in Sarawak state constituencies – in Bekenu, Lambir, Piasau, Senadin and Marudi – will defend their seats in the 12th Sarawak state elections on Dec 18.
Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chairman Abang Johari Openg who confirmed the matter said the five incumbents have worked hard in their respective areas.
“We will retain (the five assemblymen) so the team can assist me in the larger team in GPS,” he said when speaking at a “Leader With the People” dinner here tonight.
The five assemblymen are Rosey Yunus (Bekenu); Ripin Lamat (Lambir); Sebastian Ting (Piasau); Lee Kim Shin (Senadin); and Dr Penguang Manggil (Marudi).
