"We in Sarawak PKR and PH are Opposition parties in the state and we must offer a voice to the rakyat and be of service to them as a check and balance.

Tay said Sarawak PKR had appointed PKR deputy chairman Ahmad Nazib as its State Elections Committee director.
"We are getting all our 31 PKR branches in the state to prepare for the coming state elections.
"We will be going to every branch soon, starting from the Lawas district next month.
"The branches have been instructed to update the latest voter roll and put up PKR and PH signs prominently,” said Tay.
