SERIAN – Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) will be stepping up its preparations for the 15th general election (GE15), which could be held at any time.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the date of Parliament’s dissolution would be announced soon, paving the way for the 15th general election.
GPS secretary-general Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said GPS assemblymen are busy in the field to ensure the party remained relevant.
“It has not been a year after the state election, GPS is always working... and all our assemblymen are going to the field.
“GPS will always ensure the people are looked after as we promised, we do not need to wait for the general election to approach before swinging into action,” he said after visiting the Keluarga Malaysia Cheap Sale (JMKM) in Kg Bunan here today.
In this regard, Nanta, who is also domestic trade and consumer affairs minister, said his ministry will continue to hold the JMKM programme so that more people benefit from the sales especially those living in the rural and interior areas.
He said as of September 15, the Sarawak Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry had implemented JMKM at 118 locations in 65 state constituencies.
“The achievement is a continuation from the success of (the) Sarawak (Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry) in implementing the Keluarga Malaysia Sales Programme in 196 locations, (involving) all 31 parliamentary constituencies with a record of 267,978 visitors and sales reaching RM5.917 million from December 2021 to August this year,” he said.
JMKM offers daily necessities at 20% cheaper than the local market price, thus easing the cost of living burden on people. – Bernama, September 18, 2022
