Sarawak polls: Every candidate should make poverty eradication their election pledge


KUCHING: Poverty eradication should be the election pledge of every candidate contesting in the 12th Sarawak polls, says Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) candidate for Kota Sentosa Wilfred Yap.

Yap called on all candidates in Kota Sentosa to do the same, as he personally felt that poverty eradication should be the election pledge of every candidate.

“The mission to alleviate poverty stricken people is something that I feel should be an obligation and not just a campaign promise and that’s why I ask that whoever wins the Kota Sentosa seat should commit to do the same because it’s just the right thing to do.
