SIBU BY ELECTION | 'Terang Bulan' over Sibu?


PBB and BN had always held sway over the Malay-Melanau voters in Sibu or elsewhere. That is being chipped away by the PR and with PAS and PKR making their way into the folks kampungs, homes and hearts, the PAS moon is hovering over Sibu.

SUPP is beset with inhouse bickering, signs of bad leadership in SUPP and the state of malaise in the largely Chinese party.

The average Foochow Sibu voters are nice people - known for diligence, hard work and survival. The dialect maybe difficult to follow but if that is difficult you must meet a Heng Hua. Sibu serves a large hinterland and what Sibu is today is the convergence of the ulu people and the urban.

Are the Foochows pragmatic? Are the Malay/Melanaus realists?

It's 'terang bulan' over Sibu!
