Adenan fever: Barisan is asking Sarawakians to give Team Adenan a chance. With the man of the moment (seated) are (from left) Datuk Abang Johari Tun Openg, Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and Datuk Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.

IT has been six years since her famous husband died but Datuk Janet Lau is still shedding tears whenever she speaks about the late Datuk Robert Lau.

She is not exactly the queen of sobs, but local folk have been talking about the “crying candidate” for Pelawan, one of the three state seats in the Sibu area.
